Return to 1983 Hunting Xing'an Mountains

Chapter 305 Nothing can be accomplished without eating alone
Don't think that Da Xiaoxiao's mouth is like a cotton waistband, so he is ostracized and disliked in the village. In fact, only some people are complaining behind his back that his mouth is just a piece of shit. They have never said that his character is not good or his work is not good. not authentic.

Da Xiaoxiao is very clear about life. He is considered a good husband in the family. Although his wife is a bit greedy for money and snobbish, he has never done anything with her. When educating his children, he also speaks from the bottom of his heart and uses his personal experience. Teach Huang Lin what to do.

Therefore, he is generous when he should be generous, and stingy when he should be stingy. Even if he suffers a loss, he will not take it seriously. This makes him still have some human feelings in the village.

He also looks at things in a clear way, so why does he say that Lao Fang is superfluous?

Just because Da Xiaoxiao talked about how to catch leopards through Li Mazi, Lan Guodong and others, he discovered a big problem.

That means it is impossible for this group of people to succeed. Firstly, they have not formed a fixed hunting gang for so many years in the village and have been fighting alone. There must be a reason.

The second is that although Li Mazi is good at tracking, he hunts wild boars, roe deer and deer all year round, and sometimes skins them. Over the years, I have only heard that Li Mazi shot a black blind man and was almost blackmailed. The blind man was thrown to death, but it was Lan Guodong who saved him.

The third is that Lan Guodong’s hunting skills are average and his shooting skills are average, but he has a nickname called Lan Bingdao. He has gained some fame mainly because of his courage. In addition, listening to Lan Guodong’s chatter just now, you can find that he is a rebuttal type. Personality, Li Mazi and others proposed a solution. He first agreed, and then directly rejected the solution with a 'but'.

Not much to say about the rest, because these people usually hunt in the old way. What do you mean by the old way? It means going into the cellar, setting off holsters and clips, or setting off bombs and catching feet. The accuracy of playing with guns is very poor because the tools they have are very uneven, including old foreign cannons, earthen boxes, flint guns, and 16-gauge single guns. Guan Lie (Lao Poutangzi), Sanba Dagai...

The earth box is a homemade single-shot long-barreled shotgun. The butt is made of iron wire. The length is half that of the old foreign cannon, and the accuracy is very small.

But unlike what he expected, Xiao Fang was not trembling because of fear, but because of excitement. Xiao Fang didn't know where the energy came from, and shouted loudly: "This is a bitch! Kill two of my sheep. Don’t stop me, I’ll kill it!”

Why don't you say that Big Speaker usually doesn't like to hang out with them, chatting with them and bragging about your skills? What else do you really want to do?

Li Mazi answered: "That's right, and the sound of gunshots in the forest means there is someone there. How about we go over and take a look first?"

Lan Guodong obviously looked down on the Chang brothers and grunted.

"Oh my god! That's really awesome!" Lan Guodong exclaimed.

The Chang brothers stopped three or four meters away from everyone. Chang Xifeng nodded: "Ah, are you here to find the leopard?"

Why? Because there was only half a basin of mutton and soup on the table, and there were ten people around the table. How to eat just mutton and no other dishes? You have to stretch out your hands to build it, otherwise your legs will be too weak to walk around in the old forest in the afternoon.

Having said that, Xiao Fang was about to run forward, but was grabbed by the loudspeaker. He really wanted to let him go into the forest with such a tiger. If something really happened, how would everyone in the temporary hunting gang explain to Lao Fang? ?
Big Speaker pulled Xiao Fang and said: "Stop it, why are you so bad? The thing in your hand can't even use the fire stick, so you ran over and wanted to die?"

Even sitting in the room, Da Xiao felt tingling all over his body. After drinking mutton soup and eating two bites of mutton at noon, Da Xiao became even more uncomfortable.

Li Mazi was frightened by the leopard's roar and trembled all over. Then he held the shotgun tightly and looked at Xiao Fang. He couldn't let others feel that he was scared. Seeing that Xiao Fang was also trembling, he felt much better.

After entering the old forest, I wandered around four or five spots. During this period, I saw leopards, jumping cats, pheasants and greyhounds. There were also two places where the snow had fallen down. Li Mazi said that these two places were leopards' resting areas... …

Of course, there is nothing wrong with doing this. After all, this is a money-making business. If it is not based on price, it will easily disrupt the market. Will you still sell goat milk in the future?

Lao Fang's eldest grandson proposed to go with him. After thinking about it, Da Xiaokang knew that Lao Fang must be afraid that these people would not work when they were full, so he asked his eldest grandson to follow him. He just smiled and waved to follow. .

"gun!"

When half of the pot of mutton and soup reached the bottom, Li Mazi, Lan Guodong and Da Xiaoxiao looked at each other, and finally stood up holding their half-full stomachs. They each went home to get something, and agreed to go to the old forest together.

But Lao Fang’s family has two problems, one is picking! One is Mi Tai!

Although the little lamb stunk the whole house, and the noise of sheep bleating from time to time was disturbing, Lao Fang, his wife, son, daughter-in-law and others did not dislike it at all. Even if his son and daughter-in-law went downstairs, they had to give up the west room. Live for the little lamb, why? Just because of two little lambs, I can give my eldest grandson a wife!

Li Mazi glanced at Xiao Fang, and seeing that Lan Budao didn't scare him, he said, "Okay! Let's go south along the narrow path. We haven't gone there yet."

It was getting dark, but no one came home to eat. Because Xiao Fang didn't say anything, the loudspeaker said angrily: "Then let's find Song Mingzi, light a few torches and wander around."

Someone else said: "Fang, since I promised you, we brothers will definitely do it, but now the leopard is obviously frightened and angry. This black leopard ran over. If the leopard pounced, he would definitely be dead." "

"Okay!"

As the saying goes, people with short mouths are short-handed and short-handed. Da Xiaoxiao, Li Mazi, Lan Guodong and others are not people who have enough to eat but do not work. On the contrary, they work very hard.

Relatives who wanted to drink his goat milk had to pay according to the price. Even if they were given a discount, it would be two or three cents cheaper, or they would be given an extra bowl, otherwise they would have to give something in exchange.

With just a few people gathered together, what can they understand?

"Chang Xifeng? Hey, was it your brothers who fired the gun in the forest just now?" Li Mazi asked with a smile.

Xiao Fang went into the house and took out a gun. This gun was old. It was called a Bela bullet rifle. It was produced in Russia in the 1960s and was more than a hundred years old. The butt of this gun was made of The wooden gun stock was wrapped in cloth and was already rotten, and the barrel was rotten and rusty...

When Big Speaker saw this guy, he didn't say anything. He could just let him hold it. Having a gun in his hand would embolden him.

Moreover, there was Lao Fang who came to them for help. This Lao Fang was very famous in the village because his family raised eight large sheep. At the end of November last year, the ewe gave birth to two lambs, and he kept the lambs in the west room.

"We came here to take a look when we had nothing to do. We have been walking around for five or six hours. We only had a bowl of rice at noon, but we haven't eaten dinner yet."

After Xiao Fang was grabbed, he gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle Huang, this leopard is barking, and there are gunshots over there. Why don't you hurry up and kill it? Otherwise, my sheep will die in vain!"

Lan Guodong narrowed his eyes and nodded: "I think it's okay! Just as the leopard is about to come out to move around, we have to watch it and kill it directly!"

After Xiao Fang heard the words of the people in the temporary hunting gang, he could only nod helplessly. Just now, he was trying to pretend to be careless and try to inspire everyone with his emotions, but how old was Xiao Fang, how could he outplay these gangs of runners? The people of the mountains are amazing.

Immediately, Da Xiaoxian and others walked south along the narrow path. As soon as they reached the corner, they saw the outline of two black figures. After more than thirty meters, they could see each other's faces clearly.

Someone stood up from behind Li Mazi and said, "Xiao Fang, we only had one meal from your house and we were only half full. You want us to risk our lives?"

"Fuck, what are these two brothers?"

At this time, Lan Guodong smelled a smell of incense and immediately covered his nose and said: "Oh shit, who farted? Why does it smell so bad!"

Besides, it’s true that the west room is full of lamb excrement. I don’t know how to clean it up. The bedding is so infested with lice that I don’t know how to wash it...

Just like this, there are many people who buy their goat milk. For example, who is giving birth to a baby? What should a mother do if she has no milk? Then you have to buy some goat milk, boil it at home, and let it cool before giving it to the child. Otherwise, you will just give the child rice soup, which will not provide any nutrition and will only ensure that the child will not die of hunger.

Lan Guodong curled his lips and commented: "Tiger whistle!"

The group of people decided on a route and found a few pine trees in the forest to light. As they were walking south along the narrow path, they suddenly heard a leopard roar, followed by a gunshot.

Besides, the milk produced by ewes can also be sold for sale. Even if you don’t go out to make money for a year, you can support a family on goat milk alone.

"In such a spacious place, can you smell a fart?"

"That's not good, who has the time to fart..."

Suddenly, Big Horn held up a torch and saw Chang Beifeng deliberately hiding behind Chang Xifeng, and putting his hands behind his back. Big Horn was curious for a moment, and took a step forward to take a look. Suddenly, a gust of wind choked him and almost fell over, causing him to gag repeatedly. Staring at Chang Beifeng's waistband and hem of his cotton-padded jacket.

Big Speaker looked closely and recognized what the yellow and brown marks on Chang Beifeng's body were.

He raised his finger and pointed at Chang Beifeng, exclaiming in shock: "Oh my god! Look what's going on in the waistband of his trousers? This kid is covered in daddy sticks!"

"Fuck me, I'm so pissed! The second youngest of the Chang family is so awesome."

"You really don't mind Ma Tai. I thought about Lao Fang's family. It's interesting enough. I didn't expect to wipe it on daddy's body..." Chang Beifeng was humiliated and his face suddenly turned red. He didn't hide it anymore. Standing up boldly, he raised his hand and was about to wipe it on Big Speaker, but Big Speaker jumped to the side and said angrily: "What are you doing?"

"Who told you to laugh at me?" Chang Beifeng roared angrily: "You are the most shameful! It is your mouth that is the most hateful! I will stuff it in your mouth."

Chang Xifeng grabbed Chang Beifeng by the back of his neck and said, "Calm down and don't cause trouble."

"They are laughing at me. Why don't you stand up for me?" Chang Beifeng shouted.

Chang Xifeng said: "Stop howling. If we attract a leopard again, can you still soak it in the face?"

"Fuck, you're so damn tough on me."

The big speaker kept two meters away from the Chang brothers. Lan Guodong, Li Mazi, Xiao Fang and others also moved to the side, not blocking the Chang brothers' way.

Lan Guodong heard the conversation between the two and asked: "Is that shot you fired the leopard?"

"Then what are you thinking about? Who can run around in the woods and make noise in the air when they have nothing to do?" Chang Beifeng said angrily.

"What's going on specifically? Xifeng, just talk about it."

Chang Xifeng pointed to the narrow path and said, "Go back. The leopard was frightened. Now it either follows behind or runs away. It's impossible to catch the leopard in vain."

Xiao Fang frowned, but said nothing. He only listened to the loudspeaker saying: "Then I will stop on the side. The smell is so strong that it will choke my nose."

Li Mazi walked to the right and asked, "Xifeng, what's going on?"

Chang Xifeng then told what happened from beginning to end. During this period, Chang Beifeng's glorious deeds of using land thunder to smear a leopard's face must of course be narrated by himself.

After the story was finished, everyone walked to the fork in the road, stood there, and looked at each other.

"Does Bei Feng have a trick? He was so close at that time. Others would have been dumbfounded. He was able to react in a few seconds."

Lan Guodong nodded: "I can't think of the trick of using a stick to smear your face, but it works well. At that time, you two suffered the loss of one gun. If there were two guns, at such a close distance, your little brother If you pass it over, you can hit the old leopard on the forehead..."

Chang Beifeng clapped his hands, "It's not good. If I had a gun, the old leopard would die eight hundred times."

Big Speaker smiled: "Okay, let's go home quickly, my stomach is almost cramping with hunger."

Chang Xifeng waved his hand and dragged Chang Beifeng towards Qing'an Tun.

Da Xiao and the others looked at the Chang brothers' backs and talked as they walked towards Taiping Village.

"The two brothers are trying to save their lives. The old leopard has never eaten meat before. If he eats meat once, he will have to be beaten in the future." Li Mazi said.

Lan Guodong looked at Xiao Fang and said, "Listen? This job is not that easy. If Huang Er didn't pull you just now, you would have to run into the leopard's mouth."

Xiao Fang raised his head and said, "Then we won't fight?"

"Why don't you fight? You have to fight, but you have to be fully prepared before you fight!" Lan Guodong is bold, but that doesn't mean he is a fool, let alone a fool like Xiao Fang, who will send it to the leopard's mouth.

Lao Han, who spoke uprightly, said: "Fang, don't follow the example of your father and your father. They are generous in dealing with others. If you want to risk my life because of the two bowls of mutton soup at noon, I definitely can't go." , who doesn’t have a wife and children? You are almost 20 years old, why doesn’t anyone help you find a match? Don’t you think about it yourself..."

Li Mazi said: "Brother Han, why are you telling your child this?"

Old Han frowned and said, "I'm happy to say whatever I want, and it makes me happy to say it! Mad, I was so angry at noon. It was the first time I went to eat at someone else's house and I only prepared one dish, and even half a basin." , What’s going on? More than ten people ate half a bowl of bones, and who among you looked at the meat?”

Xiao Fang pursed his lips and blushed at Old Han's nonsense. A loudspeaker patted Xiao Fang on the back and urged: "Go home quickly. When you get home, tell your father that we have to go to Old Lin Ziwu continuously." It’s only six days. If you are willing to follow then, you can follow..."

Li Mazi added: "Fang, don't worry, the mutton is not in vain. This matter must be dealt with."

Xiaofang had already run out four or five meters. When he heard Li Mazi's words, he responded and ran towards the village.

Li Mazi turned around and said, "Brother Han, there is no need to talk about this with the child. What does he know?"

"I love it so much! I have been thinking about it for so many years. This is the first time that Lao Fang asked me to go to dinner. When I got there, I smelled the smell of mutton, and I was quite happy. When it was served to the table, I was like, oh my god, it’s just half The pot! It’s all bones and sticks, just a few pieces of meat... Whose house can I go to without wine? I’m not giving him a meal, as if he can’t afford it..."

Lan Guodong said: "Lao Fang is such a person. I was mentally prepared before coming. Brother Han, what do you mean? Can you still fight this leopard?"

"How can we not fight? If you eat someone else's meal, you have to do something! If you don't want to do something, I'll leave before eating."

Li Mazi said with a smile: "Brother Han is very particular!"

Big Speaker looked at a few people and said, "I told Uncle Fang the first afternoon to go find Xu Erning in Qing'an. He couldn't bear to part with the two sheep..."

"Looking for Xu Erning? He has been doing a lot of good things before and after. Will he be willing to fight?" Lan Guodong said.

Big Speaker laughed and said: "Why do we want to hit a leopard? Isn't it because of the skin on its body? Why is Xu Erning not willing to hit it? I think he has already heard the news."

Li Mazi asked: "Then why didn't he come to Laolinzi to track him down?"

Big Speaker looked at the road ahead and said, "He doesn't want to eat alone, he seems too greedy."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and thought about it carefully, this was indeed what happened, otherwise Xu Erning would have gone to the old forest to track him down when he heard the letter.

Lan Guodong rolled a cigarette and said: "I met Old Wei today. He said that Xu Erning arrived home at 12 o'clock last night. His brother drove to pick him up. He seemed to be hunting a brown bear and a group of jackals. "

"Jackal? Oh my god! This kid is quite good-natured. How dare he do this?"

The loudspeaker was not surprised and said: "I've beaten the green ones, but what about these little jackals?"

"That's true... why are the differences between people so big? Li Fuqiang used to be a famous drunkard in our two villages. Since he went to the mountains with Xu Erning, he not only gave up drinking, but also specially You are making money, now let Lao Xu join the forestry transport team!"

Lan Guodong nodded: "It's really incomparable. Xu Erning is only two years older than Xiao Fang. If you look at what he does, it's called openness!"

The big speaker smiled and said: "It's really bright..."

Li Mazi looked at him and asked, "Hey, Huang'er, don't you and Xu Erning have a strong relationship? Why don't you ask him to help Lao Fang fight leopards?"

Da Xiaoxiao lowered his eyelids and said: "I have a very strong relationship with him, but I am not stupid enough to use my favors to help Lao Fang. Lao Fang is not even willing to take two dead sheep, so I am empty-handed." Why don't you go to him to do something?"

Old Han laughed: "Hahaha... You are indeed not stupid, you just don't know how to talk."

Big Speaker didn't care about what he heard. When everyone entered the village, Big Speaker turned a corner and was home, so he turned around and asked, "Where can we meet tomorrow?"

"In front of Lao Fang's house, let's not go in. We'll leave when everyone is here."

Several people smiled and responded.
