The whole mountain is my hunting ground.

Chapter 408 Dead!
Today is Sunday, and Yongan Forest Farm, which has not yet started winter production, has a normal day off.

After such a long time, Zhao Youcai's labor reform has also ended, and Wang Meilan is in charge of cooking this morning.

And Wang Meilan, who is in a good mood recently, even prepared a hearty breakfast.

Boil water in a large pot, sticky (nián) corn.

This is the sticky corn planted in my own garden earlier, and it matures earlier than in the field.Whole sticks of corn are boiled in a pot.When cooked, the corn kernels are golden yellow.

And the ripe and blooming corn is sticky, soft and sweet when eaten in the mouth.

When cooking corn, an iron curtain is placed on top of the corn, and there is a large bowl in the middle of the curtain, and the eggs are steamed in the bowl.

This is also a home-cooked dish in the Northeast. Unlike steamed egg cakes, the egg stew is hard without adding water.

But to scrambled eggs, add farmhouse sauce, and chopped peppers.After steaming in this way, the egg stew will have different layers.

The top layer is egg-wrapped chili powder, the middle layer is pure egg, and the bottom layer is egg mixed with sauce.

Pick up a piece with chopsticks, there are eggs, chili and sauce, salty, fragrant, spicy, instantly open the taste buds.

And around the big bowl of stewed eggs, there are small eggplants, all of which are tender eggplants that are as long as a stick, so tender that they are green and seedless.

Such eggplants are steamed in a pan, torn into strips, chopped with coriander, mixed with soy sauce, sesame oil, and minced garlic, and the fragrance will reach the extreme.

Zhao Hong and Zhao Na are not interested in mixing eggplant, but they like sticky corn and egg stew very much.

It's just that the two little girls couldn't eat spicy food, so Zhao Jun and Zhao Youcai ate the egg stew on the top, the layer with peppers, and shared the bottom two layers without peppers.

With the love of their father and elder brother, Zhao Hong and Zhao Na held sticky corn pricked with chopsticks, and they ate deliciously.

The freshly baked corn is very hot.

Children can't hold it directly with their hands.Zhao Jun pierced the thin end of a chopstick through the thick end of the corn, and then asked his sister to hold the part of the chopsticks left outside the corn stick, and gnaw it horizontally in front of her mouth.

You know, such a table of farm meals, although there is no meat, can make people appetite.

Coupled with the fact that the family is happy, talking and laughing, the meal is even more delicious.

The opposite of the Zhao family is Zhu Dashan.Zhu Dashan was not happy even if he was eating chicken and stewed mushrooms, especially if the chicken was leftovers.

After eating two mouthfuls of rice, Zhu Dashan went out to find an old friend.After staying in someone's house for a while, he came to Zhao Jun's house again.

As soon as Zhu Dashan arrived at the gate of Zhao Jun's house, the dogs in Zhao's and Li's courtyards started barking. Zhu Dashan didn't dare to enter the courtyard, so he stood at the gate of the courtyard and shouted loudly: "There is no one in the house?"

Hearing that someone was coming, Zhao Youcai put away his chopsticks, sat on the kang and stretched his neck to look out.And Wang Meilan also turned around, looking out along the window.

"Why is this old man here again?" Seeing that it was Zhu Dashan, Zhao Youcai looked at Zhao Jun suspiciously. When Zhu Dashan came to borrow the dog yesterday morning, Zhao Youcai was not at home, but he knew what was going on.

"Who knows." Zhao Jun put down his chopsticks, moved to the edge of the kang, and said, "Maybe you want to borrow a dog again?"

"Son, don't go." Zhao Youcai grabbed Zhao Jun and said to him, "You eat, I'll go."

Zhao Youcai was not at home yesterday, but today he is at home. Now that outsiders come, he, the "head of the family", has to come forward.

As for Zhao Youcai's attitude towards Zhao Jun today, why is it so good?
That's because the forest farm pays wages on the 10th of every month.And once the salary is paid, Zhao Jun will pay him five yuan as a tribute.

Therefore, every month at the beginning of the month, Zhao Youcai would show his benevolent side to Zhao Jun.

For the love from his father, Zhao Jun accepted it frankly.But seeing Zhao Youcai getting off the kang, he turned around and asked Zhao Jun, "If he wants to borrow a dog, let him take it?"

Hearing this, Zhao Jun turned to look at Zhao Youcai and said, "Dad, he wants to borrow a dog, so don't let him lead it. Just tell him, I will take the dog tonight and help him stay overnight."

Zhao Jun also figured it out, instead of lending the dog out, he was worried.It's better to take the dog and help Zhu Dashan watch for a night, which can be regarded as giving the relatives enough face.

And after this night, Zhao Jun didn't care whether he hit the black bear or not, no matter what happened in the future.

"Okay, I see." Zhao Youcai responded and walked out.And Wang Meilan thought for a while, put down her chopsticks and followed Zhao Youcai out.

"Go! Go!" Zhao Youcai went out of the house, thumped the dog twice, walked towards the door facing Zhu Dashan, and said, "Uncle Zhu, have you eaten yet?"

"Youcai is at home." When Zhu Dashan saw Zhao Youcai, he smiled and said politely: "I'm done eating, have you eaten yet?"

"I'm eating." Zhao Youcai said, "Uncle Zhu, let's go in and have another bite."

"No, no." When the old man heard this, he quickly waved his hand and refused.

"Uncle Zhu." At this time, Wang Meilan also came out.When Zhu Dashan came yesterday, she went to help Jin Xiaomei deliver meals to the construction site.

Because at this time, Zhao Jun's house was built, but Li Baoyu's new house had to wait two more days for completion.

Wang Meilan came up close, stood beside Zhao Youcai, and said to Zhu Dashan, "Uncle Zhu, if you don't want to eat, why don't you go into the house for a drink."

"Don't drink anymore." Zhu Dashan waved his hand and said, "I'm here for something, so I'll leave after I finish."

As soon as Zhu Dashan finished speaking, Zhao Youcai asked, "Uncle Zhu, do you still want to borrow a dog?"

"No!" As soon as Zhao Youcai said that, Zhu Dashan's face changed suddenly, and he immediately refused.

Zhao Jun's dog, he dare not take it home.

The old man's reaction made Zhao Youcai and Wang Meilan stunned.I thought to myself, if you don’t borrow the dog, why are you here?

"Your dog, I can't do it." Zhu Dashan didn't care what Zhao Youcai and Wang Meilan thought, just said: "I know that your family raises sheep, I thought about it and asked if your sheep is for sale, and if you want to sell it, I want to buy one."

Since the beginning of summer, Wang Meilan has taken her three sheep out every afternoon and drove them to graze in the meadow at Tunxitou.

Now, the two lambs are almost forty catties.Wang Meilan thought about raising them next year, and when Zhao Jun got married, they would kill pigs and goats and entertain guests with dignity.

And she herds sheep every day, and after a long time, everyone in the village knows that their family raises sheep.

At this time, Wang Meilan frowned slightly when she heard that Zhu Dashan wanted to buy sheep, and looked at Zhu Dashan and asked, "Uncle Zhu, what are you doing buying sheep? Do you also want to hunt leopards?"

As soon as Wang Meilan said this, the expression of Zhao Youcai beside her changed instantly.He couldn't help but think of the big ewe he bought for 80 yuan when he was in Yongshengtun.The 80 yuan is all my private money saved up through hard work!
"Ah?" Zhu Dashan was a little dazed. The old man didn't know why Wang Meilan brought up the leopard, so he said, "I don't want to beat the leopard, I want to beat the black blind man. Isn't this my corn field, and the black blind man got into it. Yesterday Borrow your dog and return..."

Speaking of this, Zhu Dashan felt a little bitter in his heart, and immediately stopped mentioning the sad matter, and said: "I will think about making two bombs, and see if I can kill that black blind man."

"Ah?" Zhao Youcai was taken aback when he heard the words, and asked in doubt, "Uncle Zhu, can you know how to make bombs? I haven't heard that you can do this?"

Industry specializing in surgery.

The three generations of the Zhao family are all famous for besieging, but none of them know how to stalk bombs.

And there is quite a way to make a bomb.Wrapping fried seeds and frying black bears, it won't work if it's tender, and it won't work if it's hard.

"No." Zhu Dashan shook his head, and explained to Zhao Youcai: "I just went to Lao Jiang's house, and Jiang Laogui has bombs."

The Old Ghost Jiang that Zhu Dashan mentioned was a nickname for a person.

His surname is Jiang and his name is Hua. He is 60 years old this year.And this old man can't do anything else, he can only hit the badger with the pair and smash the black bear with the bomb.

Once you specialize in it, you will be good at it. These two skills were made perfect by this old man.

It's just that now that he is old and he can't go up the mountain, these skills have been put on hold by him.

But today when Zhu Dashan came to him, Jiang Hua refused without hesitation when he heard that he was going to bomb the corn field.

Because people come and go in the crop field, if someone collapses, it will be a big trouble.

But when he heard Zhu Dashan say that his land for recruiting black and blind people was next to the mountain field, Jiang Hua immediately agreed again.

Moreover, Jiang Hua looked very interested and insisted on working with Zhu Dashan.He also explicitly told Zhu Dashan that if he could shoot down the black bear, then two-thirds of the black bear gall sold for money would be his own, and the remaining third would be Zhu Dashan's.

Zhu Dashan thought for a while and agreed.

After all, Jiang Hua was the one who made the bombs and made the crafts. He could mix one-third of the bear bile with him, and he could keep his own food. It was a good deal no matter what he thought.

But to wrap the bomb, you have to wrap the bomb on the bait.

The best bait to lure black bears is suet.Because it has a strong smell, when the wind blows, the black bears nearby can smell it.

Of course, old cows also smell bad, but the cost of killing old cows is too high, and no one can afford it.

After thinking about it, Zhu Dashan came to Zhao Jun's house again, this place that could arouse his sadness, and came to Zhao Youcai and Wang Meilan to buy sheep.

But he wanted to buy it, but Wang Meilan didn't want to sell it at all. A sheep weighing more than 30 kilograms can't be bought for a lot of money, but it will be a big deal after raising it for years to come.

Moreover, the most important thing is that there is no cost to feed sheep in summer and autumn, and the sheep will grow fat when they graze, which is very appropriate.

Therefore, if you sell the lamb now, you will lose a lot.

But after all, they are relatives, Wang Meilan did not directly refuse, but just persuaded: "Uncle Zhu, don't you not listen to me if I say something."

"Ah, rich daughter-in-law, tell me."

Wang Meilan said: "What a good lamb, if you put it in the stomach of a mountain animal, wouldn't you be blind for nothing?"

As Wang Meilan spoke, she glanced sideways at Zhao Youcai.Zhao Youcai seemed to have sensed something, so he took a step back quietly.

And hearing Wang Meilan's words, Zhu Dashan frowned, he also knew that the cost of doing so was a bit high.Even if the two families have relatives, they can't take the lamb from Zhao Jun's family in vain, and they have to throw 20 yuan for it anyway.

How much did his house pay for this blind man?For another 20 yuan, let alone Wang Juan, even Zhu Dashan felt a pain in the flesh.

Seeing that Zhu Dashan was silent, Wang Meilan said again: "Besides, Uncle Zhu, why do you want the whole sheep? I heard from my father before that the whole dead cat and dog are put there, and the black blind smells it. Definitely come."

Wang Meilan's father refers to Zhao Jun's father.Moreover, what Wang Meilan said was not false.

Xiong Xiazi is a carrion eater and has a keen sense of smell. If he smells the smell of dead cats and dogs nearby, he will definitely go there.

Zhu Dashan nodded when he heard the words, but said: "Your rich daughter-in-law, I know what you said, but where are you going to punish those dead cats and dogs?"

"Uncle Zhu!" Wang Meilan said with a smile, "There are no dead cats or dogs, so why not all your dead chickens and geese? It's so hot today, if you leave it under the sun for a day, won't it stink?"

"Oh!" Zhu Dashan's eyes lit up when he heard it, he gave Wang Meilan a thumbs up, and said, "If you have a rich daughter-in-law, you can do it, killing a chicken is like killing a sheep, it will save you a lot."

"That's right." Seeing that Zhu Dashan was persuaded by herself, Wang Meilan smiled and said, "Uncle Zhu, if your family doesn't have a chicken, mine does. I'll buy one for you."

"No! No!" Zhu Dashan quickly waved his hands and refused, but he suddenly remembered something, sighed immediately, and muttered to himself: "If I knew this earlier, the chicken won't let my daughter-in-law stew ,Enough."

"Uncle Zhu, what are you talking about?" Zhao Youcai asked with some doubts.

"It's nothing." Zhu Dashan raised his head and said with a smile to Zhao Youcai and Wang Meilan, "I'm fine, I'll go back right away, you guys can go in for dinner too."

"Uncle Zhu." Wang Meilan continued to speak politely, "Why are you in a hurry, let's go inside and sit for a while."

"Stop sitting." Zhu Dashan shook his head and said, "Go in a hurry, go home and kill the chicken."

After finishing speaking, the old man waved his hands at the couple, turned around and walked out of the courtyard.

"Uncle Zhu, go slowly!" Zhao Youcai sent him out of the courtyard, gave him a few words of advice, and then returned to his house.

As soon as Zhao Youcai entered the east room, he heard Wang Meilan talking to Zhao Jun about what happened just now.

When he heard that Zhu Dashan had gone to look for Old Ghost Jiang, Zhao Jun was quite at ease. He knew that old man Jiang Hua, although a ghost, was a ghost, but his skill in making bombs was really a masterpiece.

In his previous life, when Zhao Jun was hunting in the mountains, he had seen Jiang Hua's nephew make bombs. It is said that he learned that skill from Jiang Hua.

Seeing Zhao Youcai came back at this time, Zhao Jun remembered the conversation with Zhu Dashan yesterday, and asked Zhao Youcai curiously, "Dad, Ma Ling, her uncle, did you play with me before?"

"He's beating an old girl!" Zhao Youcai was not polite, and complained directly: "Listen to your grandma, in the early years, Ma Ling and her uncle drove sledges for the landlord's house. Throughout the year, they couldn't eat well. Your grandfather looked at him Poor thing, if something happens, let him go up the sledge to pull it, and after pulling it back, give him some meat and it's over."

"Ah!" Zhao Jun suddenly realized that yesterday he heard the old man claiming to be a beating son, and he thought it was the old man's humor, but he didn't expect him to be a pure layman, so he said that.

After eating, Zhao Jun and Zhao Youcai went to the construction site of Li's house and helped them for a whole day.

In the evening, the father and father went home to eat and sleep, and they had nothing to say all night.

The next morning, Zhao Jun went to work as usual and studied in the acceptance team.And the third day, too.

But on the third day, which is August 8th.

Zhao Jun passed Xu Baoshan's inspection very early in his studies, and he left the forest farm before two o'clock in the afternoon to go home.

Because today was the day when Li Baoyu's house was completed, the Li family had to arrange a meal for the villagers who came to help according to the rules.

But Li Dayong and Zhao Youcai are very busy at the forest farm, and they have to wait until after get off work to come back.

Therefore, Zhao Jun wanted to go home early and help Jin Xiaomei and Li Baoyu with their work.

He had just left the mountain farm and was about to enter the village, but he saw Li Ruhai rushing along the southern path with his schoolbag on his back.

"This kid is sensible!" Zhao Jun looked at Li Ruhai who was running profusely, thinking that the kid must know something was going on at home and wanted to come back to help, so he ran back in a hurry.

Thinking of this, Zhao Jun, who has always regarded Li Ruhai as his younger brother, couldn't help feeling a little relieved.Even if he knew that the kid had skipped school, he wasn't going to criticize him.

"Jun...Brother Jun..." Li Ruhai stopped in front of Zhao Jun, stretched out his hand to support Zhao Jun's arm, bent down, and panted heavily.

"Slow down, slow down." Zhao Jun gently caressed the back of Li Ruhai's hand, and said gently: "Your aunt is at home, and Brother Zhang and the others are helping, so you don't need to come back in a hurry."

"No, no." It's good to be young. At this time, Li Ruhai had calmed down, grabbed Zhao Jun's arm, and said with a shake, "Brother Jun, I heard something from school. Get on it, and run back."

When Zhao Jun heard this, the smile on his face froze instantly, and his gaze towards Li Ruhai was full of unkindness.

Li Ruhai didn't care at all, he just said to Zhao Jun: "Brother Jun, something serious happened! He's dead!"

　Thank you brothers for the rewards, subscriptions and monthly tickets, thank you brothers!
