The whole mountain is my hunting ground.

Chapter 234 Militia Spring Hunt
Among the three people in front, an old man walked with his hands behind his back, and there were two middle-aged men on his left and right, all carrying things in their hands.

At this time, Jiang Jinyou wanted to call them to make way for him, but before he could call out, Zhang Yuanmin stopped him.

"Stop it, stop it." Not only that, Zhang Yuanmin also asked him to stop the sledge.

"What's the matter?"

Zhang Yuanmin didn't speak, and stretched out his hand to help Jiang Jinyou rein in his horse.

"Wow!" Although he didn't know why Zhang Yuanmin was doing this, Jiang Jinyou reined in his horse and stopped the sledge.

As soon as the sledge stopped, Zhang Yuanmin immediately got off the sledge. He didn't know the old man, nor the lame middle-aged man, but he recognized another person who was Zhao Guofeng, the head of their Yong'an village.

The three of them heard the hooves of the horses and the chanting of horses. Zhao Guofeng turned around and saw that it was Zhang Yuanmin. He was slightly taken aback, but he didn't pay attention. Instead, it was the old man who saw the four big bear paws on the sledge at a glance.

"Ah, you've hit a blind man, this is a gunner!" The old man glanced at Zhang Yuanmin, and said to the lame man beside him.

But seeing that the lame man ignored him, the old man came to Zhang Yuanmin and said, "You beat this blind man."

"Yeah." Zhang Yuanmin responded, then pointed to the bear's paw on the sledge, and said to the old man: "Today, a black and blind man was killed in the mountain. Are all the paws here?"

"Die to death?" The old man was surprised when he heard this, "How can a black blind man still die?"

"Can you?" Zhang Yuanmin said, "I don't know how to shoot a gun either, so I'll kill him with a knife."

The old man was even more surprised when he heard it, but Zhao Guofeng smiled and said, "Uncle Tao, don't listen to him, his two tricks..." Zhao Guofeng shook his head again and again when he said this.

This old man was none other than Tao Fulin, the old pottery man Zhao Jun had met on the mountain.And the lame man carrying a gift by his side is his eldest son Tao Dabao, who is also the security director and militia platoon leader of the Yong'an Brigade that Wu Feng said.

It is said that Tao Dabao joined the army at the age of 20 and made many military exploits. He was injured in a battle in 1980 and retired with honor.

During his more than 20 years in the army, Tao Fulin was always supported by his second son Tao Xiaobao, but it cannot be denied that Tao Dabao is indeed a dutiful son.

That day, Zhao Jun told Wu Feng about Lao Taotou going up the mountain to hunt wild boars. When Wu Feng sent the old man home, it was the moment when the family was in a hurry to go to the house.Tao Xiaobao, who couldn't find his father after searching for a day, blamed his wife even more, and Tao Xiaobao's daughter-in-law was also filial, crying all the time with worry and self-blame.

It wasn't until Wu Feng sent Tao Fulin back that the Tao family turned their worries into joy and thanked Wu Feng a thousand times, but Wu Feng said that the person they should really thank is Zhao Jun.

Then, Wu Feng told the Tao family what he had heard from Zhao Jun.

When they heard that old Tao Tou hadn't been home all day and went up the mountain to hunt wild boars, the whole family was startled and frightened.

I think this old man is so old, if the wild boar pokes and picks it, will he still be alive?
After Wu Feng left, Tao Dabao questioned the old Taotou about what had happened. After listening to the story from the old man's mouth, after Tao Dabao's analysis, the Zhao Jun Wu Feng was talking about was indeed the old man's savior.

So, Tao Dabao found Wu Feng again the next day, and upon asking, he found out that Zhao Jun's family lived in Yongantun.

According to Tao Dabao's wishes, the two brothers came to the door with gifts to thank them the next day, but the old man insisted on coming together.But he sprained his foot on the mountain, and his foot was swollen when he got up in the morning, so he had to wait for his ankle to subside before coming here.

Wu Feng only knew that Zhao Jun's family lived in Yong'antun, but he didn't know the exact address, but Tao Dabao couldn't be bothered, he ran to Zhao Guofeng's house when he came.

He and Zhao Guofeng, one is the leader of the brigade, and the other is the head of the village. They met during a meeting in the town the year before last.

After Zhao Guofeng heard what was going on, he personally brought Tao's father and son over. Unexpectedly, not far from Zhao Jun's home, he ran into Zhang Yuanmin who was pulling the black bear.

When Old Tao boss heard that this is a strong man who can kill black bears, his eyes lit up immediately.

But if others don't know about this aid, how can Zhao Guofeng not know about it?
Not to mention anything else, just after the Lantern Festival, if Zhao Guofeng and Xu Changlin hadn't fooled Qin Qiang and Zhang Laibao with guns and dogs to rescue him, Zhang Yuanmin would have been kicked by Xiong Ba long ago.

Zhang Yuanmin also knew that he could no longer brag in front of Zhao Guofeng, otherwise Zhao Guofeng would easily talk about him, so he smiled and stopped talking.

But Jiang Jinyou didn't know that this guy was not only outspoken, but also good-natured. He didn't want to let his fellow workers be underestimated, so he said to Zhao Guofeng with a straight face: "This big black blind man is really killed by Lao Zhang, 咵Just a few knives and you're dead."

Jiang Jinyousheng has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a face of honesty and honesty. What he said makes people feel credible.

Hearing what he said, Zhao Guofeng and the other three immediately cast their eyes on Zhang Yuanmin, especially the old Tao boss, who looked at Zhang Yuanmin with even more splendor.

But looking at Zhang Yuanmin's figure, if he hadn't practiced, he shouldn't have bothered.

Tao Fulin stepped in front of Zhang Yuanmin and asked, "Did you also serve as a soldier?"

"No, that's not true." Zhang Yuanmin said with a chuckle, "Ten years ago, I wanted to be a soldier, but my father is not in good health, so he takes care of the elderly at home."

"Hey, filial son." Tao Fulin looked at Zhang Yuanmin, admired him, and then encouraged Zhang Yuanmin, "It's amazing that you have this skill. If you have the opportunity to practice your spear well, it will be easier for you to fight around."

Speaking of this, Tao Fulin glanced at Tao Dabao beside him, and then said to Zhang Yuanmin: "If you can't handle a gun, you can come to Yongxing Brigade to find me, and we will go up the mountain together, and even learn how to hunt with a gun."

Tao Dabao's words frightened Tao Dabao.His father has loved hunting in the past few years, but he only hunts some rabbits, squirrels, and sand chickens, and he has never measured such big things as wild boars.

And what he did a few days ago had already made Tao Dabao very scared. Hearing what the old man said today, he was afraid that he was going to use his strength against the black blind man.

Tao Dabao knew that that thing was definitely not comparable to wild boars.

But sometimes, what you are afraid of will come.

Although Zhang Yuanmin is a bit aggressive, he dare not take this old man into the mountains.

But for a while, he didn't know how to refuse, so he could only look at Tao Fulin with embarrassment.

"Dad, how old are you? What kind of hunting are you hunting?" Seeing this, Tao Dabao rushed forward to support Tao Fulin's shoulder, and dragged him aside.

Zhao Guofeng looked at the couple with great interest, and seeing them go to the side, he asked Zhang Yuanmin curiously, "What are you doing here with these bear's paws?"

"Ah." Zhang Yuanmin replied, "I'm thinking about getting something, and I want to see my uncle and aunt."

"Your uncle..." Zhao Guofeng realized that the uncles and aunts mentioned by Yuanmin are Zhao Youcai and Wang Meilan.

Since we are all going to the same place, let's go together.

Zhao Guofeng and Tao Dabao held gifts, Jiang Jinyou led the horse, and a group of five people came to Zhao Jun's house.

Before I got to the gate, I heard the dogs barking in the yard.

"Then what? Our brothers still have dogs?" Jiang Jinyou asked Zhang Yuanmin.

"That's right." Zhang Yuanmin said, "Our brothers are very good at beating dogs. In one winter, we can clean up more than a dozen black and blind people, and even two tiger cubs."

As soon as Zhang Yuanmin said this, Tao Dabao who was on the side cried out inwardly.

Sure enough, when his uneasy father heard this, his cloudy old eyes shone, and he muttered: "What the hell, Boy Zhao lied to me that day, he told me he couldn't hunt. "

Zhao Guofeng was also happy when he heard the words, he said to old Taotou: "Master, he didn't lie to you, he should be playing with you."

At this time, Jiang Jinyou had tied the horse outside Zhao Jun's house, and Zhang Yuanmin untied two bear paws from the sledge. These two were intended to be given to Zhao Jun's house, while the other two were reserved for his wife and daughter.

With so many strangers coming to the door, and the smell of black blind man's palms, Zhao and Li's dogs kept barking.

As soon as the dog barked, the house knew that someone was coming from outside. Both Wang Meilan and Jin Xiaomei came out of the house to watch.

Seeing that it was from the Zhao family, and that Zhao Guofeng and Zhang Yuanmin were there, Jin Xiaomei turned around and went back to the house.

But Wang Meilan came out and greeted everyone in the yard.

Although Wang Meilan is a rural woman who has never been educated, she must understand the old rules. After getting to know each other, she will step aside and let the elders go first.

As soon as Old Tao head entered the yard, he saw the dogs stretching their necks and barking at him, the old man showed joy on his face, pointed to the white dragon and said to his eldest son: "Good dog, look at this dog, look at it Just fine."

"Well, good." Tao Dabao curled his lips, wondering how his father could tell that the dog was good.

And in the back, Zhang Yuanmin, who had just entered the hospital, stopped Wang Meilan and said, "Auntie, I won't go in. I'm here to tell you something."

"What's the matter?"

Zhang Yuanmin pointed to the two bear paws that he and Jiang Jinyou put on the corner of the courtyard wall, and said to Wang Meilan, "Auntie, I'll bring you two black blind palms, and put them there."

"Ah?" Wang Meilan was busy greeting Tao's father and son and Jiang Jinyou just now, but didn't notice that Zhang Yuanmin also mentioned two bear's paws.

Seeing the two bear paws at this time, Wang Meilan was very surprised and asked, "Where did you get it?"

Zhang Yuanmin smiled and said, "Today we went up the mountain to fight a siege, and we hit a blind man. I'll bring two bear paws over here to see you and my uncle."

This is good intentions and good intentions.

But somehow?

Wang Meilan felt very uncomfortable when she heard this. She took a look at Zhang Yuanmin, sighed, and said, "You went to work in Lengchang, let's work hard when we get there, don't poke these things every day, you say you This is going to be knocked, bumped, but what to do?"

"Auntie, do you think I'm all right?" Zhang Yuanmin said, took out a small cloth bag containing bear bile from his pocket, handed it to Wang Meilan and said, "Auntie, I've finished dipping the bear bile, but I have to Please keep it for me. I am not at home, just the two of them, I dare not put this at home. "

"Ah, that's the wrong way." Wang Meilan nodded immediately when she heard the words, and then she wanted to tell Zhang Yuanmin a few more words, but Zhang Yuanmin took Jiang Jinyou to leave.

At this time, Zhao Guofeng and Tao's father and son hadn't entered the house yet, and Wang Meilan had no way to chase Zhang Yuanmin, so he and Jiang Jinyou had to go.

After Zhang and Jiang left, Wang Meilan hurriedly let the three people in the courtyard into the house, and when they were seated in the house, Wang Meilan went out to the barn to hang up the bear bile, and then went back to the house to make tea and water for the three people.

At this time, Tao Dabao laid out all the presents he had brought. There was a large triangular bag containing ten catties of apples, four bottles of canned peaches, four bottles of canned hawthorn, and two boxes of peach cakes.

This ceremony was not small, Wang Meilan didn't know what they were going to do, but after Tao Dabao explained the purpose of coming, Wang Meilan knew that her son was doing good things outside again.

For this, Wang Meilan was very proud and proud, and immediately burst into laughter from ear to ear.

"Girl." At this time, the old Mr. Tao who had been silent since entering the room spoke up, and he only heard him say: "Your Zhao boy can also hunt?"

"Ah, yes!" As soon as this was mentioned, Wang Meilan couldn't close the chatter box, and immediately praised Zhao Jun, and the eyes of both Tao's father and son changed after the praise.

Tao Fulin was eager with a hint of anticipation, and he didn't know why. When he was young, he didn't play siege, but when he was old, he liked to run mountains.In the past two years, it was fine to leave the sand gun near the house to shoot small things, but I didn't expect to be thinking about playing Dawei now.

Therefore, Tao Dabao was frightened as he listened from the sidelines. He and his brother Tao Xiaobao were busy on weekdays, and his sister-in-law also had work at home, so how could he follow this old man all the time?

If the old man ran out again one day, thinking about the black blind man and the wild boar, he would be in trouble.

Thinking of this, Tao Dabao pondered, he had to find a chance to meet Zhao Jun.But he is in charge of ten production teams, and those thousands of people have conflicts every day, and he has to deal with them.Today is to thank you, so he made this trip in person. When spring comes in a few days, he will be even busier.

But Tao Dabao suddenly remembered something, so he said to Zhao Meilan: "Sister, after a while, our Yongxing brigade will have a militia spring hunting. Your boy is good at hunting. You let him come over. One is our family to thank him. Another one, if he can make a big deal, there will be rewards in our brigade, including money and food stamps."

These days, there is no such thing as protecting animals, and those animals are all disasters to the mountain people.

As big as wild boars and black bears, as small as pheasants and rabbits, they all harm crops and food.

Especially in July every year, when the ears of corn start to be harvested, wild boars and black bears start to go down the mountain, and the disaster continues until the autumn harvest.

And July is summer, the weather is sultry, there is no barley on the grass, and hunting is impossible.

Therefore, the higher-ups ordered the production team to organize militia spring hunting. The spring hunting time is at the end of March and the beginning of April every year. At this time, the black bears have just come out of the warehouse, their body fat has been exhausted during the winter, and their bear paws have become healthy again. Thin and tender, it will hurt your feet when walking on mountain roads, and your combat effectiveness is not as good as usual.

As for the wild boars, they began to circle and mate from Xiaoxue, and by this time it was the time when the female wild boars gave birth or were about to give birth, and they just rowed together with the older ones and the younger ones.

This is not cruel, and for the time being, nothing of these animals is good for man except their skin and flesh.

As for some people who say that hunting should be benevolent, or that these wild animals should continue to reproduce, so the young ones should not be hunted, and the pregnant ones should not be hunted.

In fact, this is pure nonsense.

If you beat the dog, the hunting dog will let it out. It doesn’t care if you are pregnant, old or young. You can’t go there and watch the dog surround the piglet. Why don’t you start a fight?

Or is it possible to tell the dog in advance, don't catch pregnant ones, don't catch young ones.

As for Daliuwei, it needs to be placed 80 meters away. Who knows if it is male or female?
Not to mention playing tricks, you must know that even someone like Xing San, who lives in the mountains all year round, can't play tricks every day.

After they covered the mountains and plains, it might take ten and a half days before going out for a walk. By then, regardless of whether they were male, mother, old or young, they would have already been in the trap.

As the militia platoon leader of the Yongxing Brigade, Tao Dabao took the militiamen into the mountains every year to clean up the black bears and wild boars in the nearby mountain farms as much as possible.

This year is no exception.

算一算，今年的二月二龙抬头，正好是3月1号。赵军是在第二天3月2号上班报到的，到今天为止是3月22号。

In a few more days, starting from March 3th, it will be a week-long spring hunt for the Yongxing Brigade.

After the spring hunting, the villagers on the brigade began to pick wild vegetables or prepare for spring planting.

For this reason, Tao Dabao specially asked Wang Meilan to tell Zhao Jun that if he could take a leave of absence, he would go to the Yongxing Brigade in those few days and stay at his house so that he could participate in the spring hunting.

Because Zhao Jun had to go to work, Wang Meilan had no way to promise Tao Dabao, and only said to wait until the time came.

Regarding this, Tao Dabao was hesitant, because he believed that as long as the masters of the Zhao family understood the matter, they would not refuse his kindness.
