Chapter 969 Hurting Each Other (November Monthly Ticket Plus 521)
A tiger is still a tiger no matter how wounded it is. It roared long, the trees were terrified, the horse's limbs were limp, and Zhao Youcai and Zhao Jicheng, who were nearby, felt numb and their faces were shocked.
The feeling of chasing a tiger and facing the tiger's attack is completely different, especially when the tiger appeared in an instant and the frightened horse ran wildly, catching Zhao Youcai off guard.
But even in this situation, Zhao Youcai still fired a shot.
He fired this shot. Because they were divided into two groups, the three of them were sitting on a sled and wandering around the south of the mountain. Zhao Jicheng, who was only concerned with controlling the horse, had no time to shoot.
Zhao Youcai's shot was said to be a fluke, but he also found a little feeling.
The tiger jumped continuously from top to bottom, and Zhao Youcai was on the downhill. He didn't raise his gun when he fired this shot, so he must have fired low.
And the bullet directly broke one of the tiger's front paws when he fired this shot.
The tiger fell headfirst into the snow, rolled on the ground, turned over and struggled to get up, and limped away into the distance.
Zhao Youcai stood up almost at the same time as the tiger, but he didn't have the chance to fire a second shot. Just now, he fell into the snow, and the barrel of the semi-automatic gun in his hand was stuck in the snow. If he fired again, he would only hurt himself.
Seeing the tiger staggering away, Zhao Youcai beat his chest and stamped his feet in anger. But now that things have come to this, he has no choice. He can't just chase the tiger with a bayonet, right?
Zhao Youcai is not that fierce yet. At this time, he not only didn't chase the tiger, but also took the initiative to distance himself from the tiger.
After Zhao Jicheng controlled the horse, he found a tree nearby to tie the horse. When he rushed over with a gun, Zhao Youcai had finished smoking a cigarette.
Looking at the broken tiger paw next to Zhao Youcai's feet, Zhao Jicheng looked at the man in front of him in great shock.
Just now, when he was controlling the sled to go away, he looked back in a hurry. He saw Zhao Youcai falling in the snow, and he knew how difficult it was for Zhao Youcai to injure the tiger in that situation.
Zhao Jicheng suddenly understood why his section chief had a fight with Zhao Youcai, so he was very polite to Zhao Youcai.
"Boss Zhao!" Zhao Jicheng said, "Are you okay?"
Zhao Jicheng did not care about the whereabouts of the tiger, but asked Zhao Youcai with concern first.
"It's okay." Zhao Youcai took out cigarettes and matches from his pocket and handed them to Zhao Jicheng.
Zhao Jicheng quickly clamped the gun under his armpits and reached out to take the cigarettes and matches.
In Zhao Jicheng's eyes, Boss Zhao was not only skilled, but also very heroic. Shi Lin smoked like this, no wonder he was called Zhao Youcai.
Zhao Youcai at this time was not depressed at all. The setbacks of this year made him, 43, grow a lot, not to mention that being able to knock down a tiger's claw was enough for Zhao Youcai to brag for a while. After all, last autumn, he only broke a tail when he beat a lynx.
And the battle is not over yet, Zhao Youcai still has the opportunity to expand the results.
"Give me your gun." Zhao Youcai stretched out his hand and said to Zhao Jicheng, "You rest here and wait for Chief Li and the others after that."
"Huh?" Zhao Jicheng, who had just taken a puff of cigarette, was stunned. He looked at Zhao Youcai blankly, and heard Zhao Youcai continue, "Snow has got into the barrel of my gun. Let's exchange guns."
"No?" Zhao Jicheng frowned and said, "Boss Zhao, I have to go with you."
"What are you going to do?" Zhao Youcai pointed down and said, "The horses and sleds are all down, can you walk?"
"This..." Zhao Jicheng hesitated for a moment and asked again, "Then can you do it yourself?"
"Yes." Zhao Youcai smiled and said, "The big claws drip blood every time they walk, why should I be afraid of it?"
Hunters fear tigers, firstly because they are really fast, and secondly, even if they kill a roe deer, they will sneak attack.
But now, the tiger has a broken paw and leaves blood when walking. In this way, the speed could not be increased, and it was also impossible to hide and attack people.
Zhao Youcai's words made sense, so Zhao Jicheng exchanged the 81 bar in his hand with Zhao Youcai's 56-type semi-automatic, and reminded him: "Zhao Baotou, you should be careful!"
Zhao Youcai smiled at Zhao Jicheng, holding the 81 bar in one hand and pointing to the ground with the other hand, saying: "Don't forget to take this for me."
"Give it to you?" Zhao Jicheng was stunned, and Zhao Baotou floated away with the gun.
When Zhao Youcai was making achievements outside, Zhao Jun also went out with the expanded Zhao Family Gang.
Li Baoyu drove, Wang Qiang sat in the co-pilot, Zhao Jun, Zhang Yuanmin, Jie Zhong, and Jie Chen sat in the back car.
A group of six people entered the forest farm, passed through the old brick kiln, and went straight to the traces of wild boars seen yesterday.
After arriving at the place, we continued to drive forward, and then entered the mountain field along the sled road from the south of the mountain. At the corner of the mountain, we found the shack of Lao Guotou mentioned by Wang Qiang.
Wang Qiang called a few times at the door, but no one answered. He pushed the door and led everyone into the shack, only to find that it was already empty.
There were signs of people living in the house, and there were sorghum rice and sticky bean buns. I think the old man heard the tiger roar and didn't dare to stay here, so he went down the mountain and went home.
According to the rules of running in the mountain, Zhao Jun and others can live in this shack, and they can also eat the food in the shack, but they can't harm other people's things, let alone their food.
Today Zhao Jun and his friends came here to stay, but they thought of saying hello to the old man here first. In this situation, since the old man is not here, let's follow the rules.
Moreover, Zhao Jun and his friends only found a place to stay. They brought food and drinks from home, and when they left, they left the things they couldn't eat for the old man.
After finding a good spot, the group came out of the shack. Jie Zhong and Jie Chen took out a small whip from their bag and hung it on a nearby tree. When they lit it, they heard a crackling sound. The wild animals nearby heard it and all ran away.
That was not the end. Zhang Yuanmin and Li Baoyu took out the double-bang firecrackers they brought with them and started to set off.
After setting off the firecrackers and double-bang firecrackers, everyone went down the mountain and returned to the car. They pulled a sack from the trunk and started to set off double-bang firecrackers again.
"Listen... Bang! Listen... Bang!"
This was not set off to scare away the tiger, but to scare away the roe deer and wild deer on the mountain.
After setting off a few firecrackers, everyone got on the car and drove around the mountain. They stopped after walking two or three miles and continued to set off double-bang firecrackers and small foreign whips.
The tiger was not afraid. The roe deer and wild boars on the mountain all ran away. And they ran away today. They didn't come back for a month.
Get in the car, continue to drive forward, continue to blast, jump from day to night and don't go home, continue to blast with the headlights on.
In this way, they don't go up the mountain, but drive along the lucky firewood road, blasting from the 62nd and 63rd forest ranges all the way to the foot of the old ghost head ridge of the 66th forest range.
This is the tiger's lair, so just at the foot of the mountain, the six people blasted half a sack of double-shot.
This is the Zhao family gang, and no one else would have such strong financial support.
After blasting the two sacks of double-shot that Wang Fu's store had just emptied, this trip was over, and the six people took the car back home.
According to Zhao Jun's plan, he will get up early tomorrow and go to Yongli, buy all the double-shots in Yonglitun store, and then go up the mountain to blast again.
Doing so, first, to cut off the tiger's food, and second, to scare away as many wild boars in the mountains as possible.
There are few blind bears outside this winter, but wild boars are omnivorous animals. In late autumn, they would go to the dry river to eat toads. If they smelled butter, they might come and take a bite.
There was no way. Zhao Jun had a purpose this time. He only wanted to blow up the tiger to avenge his dog. Unlike Jiang Hua, they would make money by blowing up anything.
When the Zhao family gang returned home, Zhao Youcai took Li Chunming and Qin Zhusong to a shack in the mountains.
The owner of the shack was named Duan. The old man was sixty years old this year. He set traps in the mountains and didn't catch anything else, just yellow leaves.
Zhao Youcai had some face in the mountains, so he took the two of them to live in this shack. As for Zhang Dongzhi and Zhao Jicheng, they drove the sled back and didn't wait to chase Zhao Youcai.
The food in this shack was worse than that in the field. There was not even a proper dish. It was just sticky bean curd with pickled vegetables. Zhao Youcai missed home.
But the atmosphere in the Zhao family today was not as good as usual. Li Ruhai came back from get off work and felt like he was dreaming, which made the child unable to accept it.
"Old man!" Jin Xiaomei saw Li Ruhai standing there in a daze. She went over to support Li Ruhai and stared at Li Dayong and whispered, "Didn't I ask you to give the child a vaccination?"
"I..." Li Dayong said with a bitter face, "This child is laughing and joking in the room. I don't know how to talk to him."
At this time, Li Ruhai turned around. He didn't cry, but sometimes the more silent and unable to vent, the more sad he was.
"Brother!" Li Ruhai called Li Baoyu, and Li Baoyu was also frightened by Li Ruhai's appearance and quickly responded to Li Ruhai.
"Where is the big claw?" Li Ruhai asked about the dog-killing enemy. Li Baoyu hurriedly said, "He is on the run now, but I promise you that he won't be able to jump for a few days!"
"That's fine." Li Ruhai touched the cold Da Huang, then turned to Li Dayong and Jin Xiaomei and said, "Dad, Mom, let's go to my aunt's house for dinner, don't let them wait."
"Hey!" Li Dayong and Jin Xiaomei responded at the same time, and Li Baoyu didn't dare to mention the matter of Li Ruhai kowtow to Da Huang.
It was not until the night when the brothers lay on the kang and tossed and turned and couldn't sleep that Li Baoyu carefully mentioned it. But after he finished speaking, Li Ruhai didn't say anything, and Li Baoyu didn't dare to say anything else.
The next morning, when Li Baoyu got up, Li Ruhai was no longer beside him.
Li Baoyu went out to the outer room to ask Jin Xiaomei, but Jin Xiaomei didn't know what Li Ruhai had done. Anyway, the child left at around four in the morning.
When it was almost time for dinner, the dog outside barked twice. Li Baoyu, who was setting the table, peeked out through the window, then raised his hand and pointed outside, asking Li Dayong, "Dad, what did Ruhai take? Such a big bun."
Li Ruhai came back, holding a big triangular bag, which was bulging.
When the father and the father were talking, Jin Xiaomei, who was serving the dishes, also came over. At this time, the three of them saw Li Ruhai holding the bag and entering the warehouse, and then coming out again.
Li Ruhai entered the house, greeted his family, and went to wash his hands and prepare for dinner. Jin Xiaomei and Li Baoyu, who were curious, slipped out of the door and ran straight to the warehouse.
When they entered the warehouse, they saw the triangular bag placed next to Dahuang. They didn't even need to open the bag. They could see the yellow inside through the bag mouth.
Although there were only yellow paper buns in those days, this was also called golden barley.
Jin Xiaomei pulled the corner of her mouth and turned around and ran home. When she and Li Baoyu entered the house, Li Ruhai was already serving them soup.
"Old son!" Jin Xiaomei came to Li Ruhai and asked anxiously: "What do you want to do with so many golden kezi?"
Jin Xiaomei knew what Li Ruhai was going to do, and hurriedly added: "You can't burn it in the village!"
In fact, you only need to find a crossroads to burn paper money. It's okay to burn it in the village. Other families do the same.
But they burn for people. If your Li family burns for dogs, wouldn't it make people in the surrounding villages complain?
"Huh?" Li Dayong was also anxious when he heard it, but just as he was about to speak, he saw Li Ruhai looking at Li Baoyu.
Li Baoyu's heart skipped a beat and he suddenly had a bad premonition.
Sure enough, Li Ruhai said: "Brother, today is the third day, you can send Dahuang away on behalf of our family."
Li Baoyu: "..."
Li Ruhai continued: "I got up early and went out to buy golden barley. You go to the mountain to burn it for Dahuang, and let it go over there to buy two bottles of luncheon meat cans to eat."
Li Baoyu, Li Dayong, Jin Xiaomei: "..."
Li Dayong and Jin Xiaomei were shocked by their son's idea. As for Li Baoyu, he didn't know what to say.
Well, I asked you to kowtow to the dog, so you let my dog burn paper.
"Aren't you guys not coming back today?" Li Ruhai said, taking a steamed bun and breaking it in half, saying, "I have to go to work tomorrow, or I'll go with you."
After that, Li Ruhai stuffed half of the steamed bun into Li Baoyu's hand and said, "Eat, brother, eat your fill."
Li Baoyu: "..."
"Okay, okay, Ruhai, you should eat quickly too." Li Dayong invited Li Ruhai to eat, and then said to Li Baoyu, "It's over, Boss, you go up the mountain and burn that thing with a fire."
The golden barley was brought back, there was no reason to keep it at home, and Li Ruhai bought it for Dahuang, so it didn't make sense to burn it for someone else. And Li Dayong also thought that Dahuang had worked hard for his family for so many years, so he should take some money away and let it eat whatever it wants.
Li Baoyu didn't know how to refute, so he could only accept the matter. But he remembered that incident again, so he said to Li Ruhai: "Ruhai, Dahuang saved you, according to us..."
"I knocked it this morning." Li Ruhai said this and turned his face to the window.
Seeing this, Li Dayong used chopsticks to dart Li Baoyu, and Jin Xiaomei also glared at him.
Li Baoyu was speechless, took the steamed bun that Li Ruhai stuffed to him and brought it to his mouth, and took a big bite.
After dinner, Li Baoyu dressed neatly at home, took off the hanging gun, put on the bag on his back, and went out to meet Zhao Jun.
The Li family came out, Li Dayong wrapped Dahuang with a tarpaulin and sent it to the car, Jin Xiaomei took a handkerchief to wipe Li Xiaoqiao's tears, and Li Ruhai held the triangular bag and handed it to Li Baoyu.
Zhao Jun was not surprised that the entire Li family went out, but when he saw the bag of golden barley, Zhao Jun was also shocked.
"Big brother!" Li Ruhai clasped his fists to Zhao Jun and said seriously, "I wish you a successful start and immediate success."
"Okay, this big claw can't run away." Zhao Jun said first, and then explained with a smile: "The last time Ruhai told me so, I killed two black blinds that day."
Hearing Zhao Jun's words, Li Ruhai smiled, and Li Dayong on the side glanced at the two of them, thinking: "The last time that kid said so to your dad, your dad went out and killed an old cow!"
"A-choo!" Zhao Youcai, who was worried about someone, suddenly sneezed. At this time, he had set off with Li Chunming and Qin Zhusong.
The tiger they chased was extremely tenacious. After breaking its claws, it no longer stayed around here. Instead, as Zhao Youcai predicted yesterday, it tried to cross 57 and walk 60 forest classes again, and rushed to the border between China and Luosha.
I misjudged a situation, but I will continue to work hard. I will update the next chapter before twelve o'clock, and I will definitely be able to kill the big claws!
