The whole mountain is my hunting ground.

Hearing Zhao Jun say that he would go up the mountain after dinner, Jie Chen didn't even drink the wine, and hurriedly grabbed a chopstick of scrambled eggs with leeks and started cooking the rice.

Wang Meilan fumbled in her pocket, took out a roll of money, took a look and put the money in her pocket again, and then went out.

Seeing this situation, Zhao Youcai hurriedly shouted: "Lan, what are you going to do?"

"I'm going to the small shop.?" Wang Meilan replied casually, and walked to the door without stopping.

When he heard that Wang Meilan was going to the small shop, Zhao Youcai almost jumped up from the kang.

"Why are you going to the small shop?" Zhao Youcai said while moving from the Kangli to the edge of the Kang.

At this time, Wang Meilan had already walked to the outer room, Zhao Youcai hurriedly got off the kang, and chased after him with his shoes on, shouting, "What are you doing here?"

Wang Meilan said: "I'm going to buy two batteries and a few small light bulbs. Those two children are going up the mountain at this time, why don't they have electric batons?"

The electric baton that Wang Meilan mentioned was a flashlight.The No. [-] battery must be placed inside, and the small light bulb in front is also a consumable.

Although these families have them, but as a careful mother, I want to prepare some more for my son, so as to save the flashlight from going to the mountains.

At this time, Zhao Youcai was heartbroken, and he pretended to be calm and said to Wang Meilan, "Lan, um... for a while, when my son and the others are leaving, I just drove along and bought it. You don't want to go out if you're a fool. .”

"It's only seven o'clock, what are you afraid of?" Wang Meilan rolled her eyes at Zhao Youcai, and said, "Hurry up and eat your meal."

"No, why don't I go." Zhao Youcai didn't persuade him, so he hurriedly begged for his life. He also thought about it, and went to buy batteries and light bulbs by himself, and Wang Meilan had to pay for it.

The money will go into my pocket when I get it. As for the light bulb and battery, I will continue to pay the bill.

But as soon as Zhao Youcai finished speaking, Wang Meilan turned around and looked straight at him with suspicion in her eyes.

"It's broken!" Zhao Youcai's heart skipped a beat, secretly thinking that it's not good.

But at this moment, Zhao Jun's voice came from the room, and he only heard him say: "Father, let my mother go, it's okay."

The last word "it's okay", Zhao Jun obviously emphasized his tone, and it fell into Zhao Youcai's ears like the sound of heaven.

Because Zhao Youcai suddenly realized that before eating, Zhao Jun once said, "I can't drink with you, but I can buy you big biscuits."

Since he said that, he had discovered the bill he had paid in the small shop. With this kid's current wealth, he must have already settled the bill.

Now that the bill has been settled, Wang Meilan will go shopping and pay the bill directly. Neither Wang Fu nor his wife will force Wang Meilan to pay the bill.And as long as you don't pay the bill, you won't mention the previous things.

Thinking of this, Zhao Youcai heaved a sigh of relief, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, thinking: "This person, I really can't do anything wrong. I was in a hurry, and I almost lost my sense of control."

Thinking this way in his heart, Zhao Youcai, who no longer has any worries, continued to act. He turned around and rushed to the back room and said, "What do you know, kid? Didn't I just want your mother to eat first?"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Youcai turned around again, and smiled at Wang Meilan: "Lan, then go and come back quickly, or the food will be cold in a while."

Hearing what he said, Wang Meilan's face changed from cloudy to sunny, she nodded with a smile, and then walked outside the house.

Zhao Youcai stretched his neck, followed the window by the stove, and watched Wang Meilan leave the hospital all the way, and he let out a sigh of relief.

A big stone in his heart fell to the ground, and he thought of the wine and meat on the table, and Zhao Youcai wanted to go back and continue eating and drinking.

But when he turned around, he saw Zhao Jun standing behind him.

"Ouch! Brat!" Zhao Youcai raised his hand and patted Zhao Jun on the shoulder, but remembering that he had reminded himself just now that there was still money to be paid for dry food, Zhao Youcai smiled on his face, just worried about Jiechen in the room, so he Whispered to Zhao Jun: "Son, I found that you have become more and more filial recently!"

"Hehe..." Zhao Jun chuckled, which made Zhao Youcai feel a little bad. He coughed lightly, raised his hand and gestured in the back room: "Hurry up and eat, you have to go after eating."

"Dad, you can eat goodbye first." Zhao Jun stretched out his hand to wrap Zhao Youcai's shoulder, and slowly turned him around, so that Zhao Youcai, whose back was facing the door of the room, turned his face outward.

"Ah?" Zhao Youcai was taken aback for a moment, and then he was furious. What kind of son is this? He didn't let me eat. Didn't it cost him more than one yuan?

He is not happy to spend more than one yuan for his father?From now on, can she still point to him to provide for herself in the old age?

Thinking of this, Zhao Youcai turned his head to the side, looked at Zhao Jun and asked, "Son, what's the matter with you, can Dad help you?"

Zhao Youcai wanted to get angry at first, but when he thought that he just had a new handle in Zhao Jun's hands, he changed his face in an instant.

Zhao Jun smiled when he heard this, and said, "Father, why don't they call you Er Smart, you can tell everything."

Zhao Youcai: "..."

Seeing Zhao Youcai looking at him unkindly, Zhao Jun hurriedly got down to business and said, "Dad, Jiechen and I are in a hurry to leave, we will eat first, you help me go to the warehouse and pull two wide wooden squares. If I want to make a pair, you have to saw a hundred... [-]cm wooden pegs for me."

Pairs, also known as hanging splits, are a type of siege, specially used to hunt badgers.

After entering the mountain, put down the color tree or azalea tree about [-] cm wide, knock off the branches, and intercept a well-proportioned section in the middle.

Then put the whole tree section in the place where the badgers come and go at night, and then stick wooden pegs on both sides of the tree section, and surround it with a circle of tree strips as a cover.

Then support one end of the tree segment so that it forms an angle with the ground.Let dead fish and dead birds set up bait traps underneath, and as soon as the badger touches the traps, the tree section will crash down.

There was a blind spot in front, and there were wooden prongs on the left and right. At this time, Badger realized that he couldn't run away even if he wanted to, and was directly smashed to death by a tree section.

Because the two rows of wooden prongs are facing each other, they are called pairs.And because after the badger touched the mechanism, it was chopped down by the branch of the tree, so some people called it hanging chopping.

Badgers feed at night. In this season, that is, in mid-September, as long as you take your dog up to the beam at Zhenggang after ten o'clock in the evening, you can catch the badgers foraging.

But the badgers have sharp teeth and claws, and they are frightening to death when they bite anything.And the only dog ​​that Zhao Jun's family can dispatch now is the black tiger.

Recently, this dog has repeatedly made military exploits. Zhao Jun is not rare enough for it, and he is not willing to let it go back to the mountain four times in three days.

Therefore, Zhao Jun planned to go up and down the mountain overnight.It's only past seven o'clock now, and it won't be more than 08:30 when we go into the mountains to find a place.Then put the tree, cut the branches, and nail the pegs, it's all simple.

It is absolutely possible to set up traps before the badgers put their food.If there is a harvest today, the badger that was smashed to death will be slipped away tomorrow morning, and it will be boiled directly when it is brought back.

Putting trees and cutting branches are all things that need to be done after entering the mountains.What is missing now is the wooden pegs.

In the warehouse of Zhao Jun’s house, there are wooden squares left over from building the house. The thick ones are [-] centimeters square. For the next pair, a dozen or so are enough.

Zhao Jun told Zhao Youcai to help him saw more than 100 pieces.It was completely to scare Zhao Youcai, who told him not to tell himself, but to pay the bill at the small shop casually, which made him almost unable to get off the stage in the morning.

"One hundred...you can fix it yourself." But Zhao Youcai is not a good stubble, when he heard that the amount was too large, he pinched his eyes on Zhao Jun, left a sentence, turned around and went back to the house for dinner after speaking.

"Fifty, that's okay." Zhao Jun cut the demand in half at once, but seeing that Zhao Youcai was still unmoved, Zhao Jun couldn't help but sighed, and said, "Then when my mother comes back, let my mother help me fix it." Bar."

Talking to smart people is easy, and you don't have to talk too much.

As soon as Zhao Jun said this, Zhao Youcai stopped abruptly at the door of the east room. At this time, Jie Chen who was cooking on the kang looked up and saw him, and hurriedly greeted Zhao Youcai: "Uncle, come and eat with my brother. , the food will be cold in a while."

"Ah." Zhao Youcai said with a smile: "You eat first, I have to help your brother to work, this in-law's mother has something to do, so we have to help, right?"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Youcai turned to face Zhao Jun, but as he turned around, the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

Zhao Youcai walked up to Zhao Jun and asked, "How many roots do you want?"

"Fifty." Zhao Jun said with a smile, "there is a saw in the barn, and the saw blades are already broken, so they can be used quickly."

Seeing Zhao Youcai looking at him with a gloomy face, Zhao Jun raised his hand and gestured into the room, saying: "Dad, thank you for your hard work. I have to eat first, so hurry up and start working. My mother will come back later, I hope you can help me." I have to praise you for my work.”

Zhao Youcai looked at Zhao Jun, who was taller than him, and suddenly had a feeling that this kid had grown up now, with a black heart and a bad mouth, and he was really the seed of himself and Wang Meilan.

But remembering the faint threat in Zhao Jun's last sentence just now, Zhao Youcai twitched his cheeks, and reluctantly went outside the house, entered the warehouse and dragged the wooden prescriptions to the front of the house.

Then, Zhao Youcai went into the warehouse again, and took a new curved saw from the place where the tools were kept.

In the Northeast Mountain Village, sawing wood and burning fire is a common thing, but since Zhao Youcai started working, he left early and returned late, and he was no longer proficient in this business.

He came out of the barn and came to the wooden square with a saw, only to remember that he didn't take Kabala.

Kabala, to put it bluntly, is a Y-shaped tree branch. Two Kabala, one on the left and one on the right, are inserted into the ground with a distance in the middle, and then the square is placed on it, and then the saw is used to saw the wood.

At this time, it was already dark outside.

Zhao Youcai was working in front of the house, and by the light in the house, Zhao Youcai became very angry when he thought that the little bastard was eating in the house, and he had to work for him as an old man.

Looking down at his fist, Zhao Youcai suddenly remembered that at about this time last year, that little boy sneaked up the mountain and was beaten by himself.

How long has it been since the fist that beat him like a drum is now helping him with a saw.

For a while, Zhao Youcai regretted it very much.

If I had known today, I would have beaten him up last year.

If I had known today, when paying the bills in the past two days, I would have taken two more cigarettes.

I knew today...

"Master!" Suddenly, a voice interrupted Zhao Youcai's thoughts.

"This is a small debt." Zhao Youcai knew it was Li Baoyu without even looking.

Seeing that Zhao Youcai ignored him, Li Baoyu put his hands on the courtyard wall and asked Zhao Youcai, "Master, what are you doing?"

Zhao Youcai rolled his eyes, and when he looked at Li Baoyu, he thought: "This kid is energetic, let him help me with work."

So, Zhao Youcai said: "Your brother wants to go up and down the mountain, let me saw two prongs for him, he is in a hurry, look at you..."

Before Zhao Youcai finished speaking, he saw Li Baoyu over the wall and striding towards him.

Zhao Youcai was overjoyed, turned over his hand, and was about to hand over the saw handle he was holding to Li Baoyu.

But when Li Baoyu came to Zhao Youcai, he took a look through the window and saw Zhao Jun and Xie Chen were eating on the kang, so he strode towards the door.

Zhao Youcai handed over the saw, but it was empty, so he could only sit on the pony and start sawing wood.

"Brother." Li Baoyu asked as soon as he entered the room, "Are you going up the mountain?" "

"En." Zhao Jun was chewing his rice, looked up at Li Baoyu, and asked vaguely, "Baoyu, have you finished eating yet?"

"No, I'm drinking with my dad..." At this point, Li Baoyu changed the subject and said, "I'll go back to dinner right away, and I'll go with you after dinner."

After speaking, Li Baoyu walked quickly outside the house.

Li Baoyu went out and saw Zhao Youcai sitting there sawing wood, so he called out, "Master!"

"Hey!" Zhao Youcai smiled and stood up from the pony.

But things didn't develop as he thought, Li Baoyu raised his hand and pointed in the direction of his home, saying: "You are busy, sir, I will go back first."

Zhao Youcai didn't speak, just gave Li Baoyu a blank look, and when he sat back on the pony, he muttered: "If you don't help me with my work, don't greet me."

But Li Baoyu didn't hear what he said at all. He climbed over the wall and hurried into the house to eat.

Watching Li Baoyu rush into the house, Li Dayong shouted at him: "I asked you to pick up garlic for me, what did you do?"

Speaking of this, Li Dayong glanced at Li Baoyu's hand, frowned and asked, "Where's the garlic?"

Li Dayong said that garlic is not grown in his home, and at this time, the season for harvesting garlic has long passed.

The garlic he said means that after the garlic is harvested in the field, the garlic seedlings and garlic heads are braided together, like a big braid, which is called braided garlic.

Then, dry the braided garlic. After the garlic seedlings are withered and yellow, although the garlic is still attached, as long as you pull it a little harder, the garlic will come down.

Didn't they all say that if you eat meat and don't eat garlic, the fragrance will be reduced by half.

Just now, while eating and eating, Li Dayong suddenly realized that he hadn't peeled the garlic. He didn't dare to order Jin Xiaomei who was also sitting on the edge of the kang, so he ordered Li Baoyu.

Li Baoyu is also filial to his children, his father wanted to eat garlic, so he got up, put down his chopsticks and went out.But after visiting Zhao Jun's house, things changed when he came back.

Hearing Li Dayong ask about garlic at this moment, Li Baoyu said while pawing rice into his mouth, "Don't eat garlic, let's count together after eating."
