Return to 1983 Hunting Xing'an Mountains

Chapter 310 Should I go empty-handed? messing around
It was past two o'clock in the night, the barking of dogs in the village disappeared, and only Lao Fang's house had the lights on in Taiping Village, which had returned to quiet.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sat in the east room and cried bitterly, one for the three sheep and the other for Fang Min. They held their heads in their hands and cried like mourners, which made the two families next door upset and unable to sleep all night. At the same time, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law scolded each other. The old leopard who fucked like a fool will die a good death...

At the door of the lower house, Lao Deng had just walked out of the courtyard. Seven people including Da Xiaoxiao, Li Mazi, Lan Guodong and Lao Han looked at each other, and then stood outside the door and looked into the house.

In this situation, someone has to speak first. How can we waste time doing this?
When Lan Guodong started talking nonsense, the old man calmed down and said to Fang Daquan, "Keep a close eye on him."

Immediately, Lao Fang got up and came to the courtyard. He looked at the seven people and said, "Come in and chat."

Lao Han put his hands into his sleeves without giving any face, and said bluntly: "We are called here in the middle of the night. If you have anything to say, just say it. In the past few days, we were standing at the door when we came here. We were still a little uncomfortable entering the house. "

Lao Fang turned his head and looked at Lao Han, rubbed his face and said, "Okay, let's put it aside! You all have noticed that my family Fang was injured by the leopard, and there are three dead sheep in the sheepfold..."

Lan Guodong said with a smile: "Uncle Fang, let me be honest. Your sheep died and Xiao Fang was injured by a leopard. It has nothing to do with the seven of them. You can't blame anyone but us."

"That's what happened. I was sleeping soundly at home, but Daquan started whining and making noise in front of the station, which made my children cry. My granddaughter is only two years old, so it's hard to coax her."

"Who doesn't sleep at home? First I heard the dog barking, then I woke up and went to the latrine. When I got back and got into bed, Daquan came over to call me, eh!"

Lao Fang took out the pipe pot from his pocket, pressed it twice in the pipe, struck a match and lit it. He took two puffs and said: "I know that what happened tonight has nothing to do with you, so I will call you here. I am I want to discuss the matter of beating Old Leopard with you again."

Lao Fang raised his hand and slapped Lao Han's chest, "What the hell are you going to say again?"

Lao Fang stared at his eyes and was speechless, because he really couldn't find anything to refute. Finally, he shouted: "You didn't eat my sheep?"

"Yes! I ate a total of two pieces of meat as big as a finger and drank a bowl of mutton soup. Then why don't I also wander around the old forest for five or six days just to look for leopards? Your family has two days. He didn’t bring any food at noon, why don’t you ask us how much we can give him?”

Old Han lowered his head and glared: "Don't yell at me! You're older, why are you trying to slap your face if you're not the same as you?

Old Han frowned and said, "Even if we kill the leopard, we can't give you the leopard's skin and flesh if you want it! There's no such rule!"

Old Han said angrily: "Why are you asking me to hunt a leopard? We didn't go to the old forest in the south for five or six days in a row? But we didn't even look at the leopard's shadow. What can we do? You have to be able to summon the leopard. Why don't you let the leopard roll over the calf when the cows are competing? Why do you kill three more of your sheep?"

Lao Fang stared and said, "What are you talking about? Is this a matter of whether to eat sheep or not? I asked you to come over for dinner to study how to hunt leopards. Did you hunt leopards?"

Old Han clapped his hands and said: "Uncle Fang! I call you Uncle Fang for the last time! You can think about it for yourself. Is it right for you to do this?"

It was a good time to sleep this night, so we all called out. Your eldest grandson was attacked by a leopard, and three sheep died. What do your wife and eldest daughter-in-law do?
Don't you know how to give us some water and some cigarettes?
The first few days when we came over in the morning, you just sat under the eaves and showed no intention of coming out to talk to us.

Seeing that Lao Fang didn't say anything, he continued: "Since you've said it before, why did you call us together again?"

When these words came out, not only Lao Han laughed, but also Lan Guodong, Li Mazi and others next to him laughed out loud.

Lao Fang narrowed his eyes and said, "I don't want you to hunt in vain. There are three sheep in the sheepfold. If you can kill them, just take one and eat it. I don't want leopard skin and meat..."

Lan Guodong said: "I'm not very good at pinching people, and I don't have any tricks."

Lao Fang tilted his head and looked at him and said, "I'm not saying no! Why are you so anxious and embarrassed? Who are you with!"

"That's what I'm talking about! Your sheep is not that delicious. It's easy to chew. I'm afraid I'll be sprayed to death by spittle before I swallow it! Tell me about your wife, how many of you have eaten it since I've eaten it? Your family only had half a bowl of sheep bone sticks and soup for lunch. How many times has your wife gone to the small shop and complained that I don’t dare to ask for your sheep again..."

"Lao Fang, your eldest grandson Fang Min was injured by a leopard, but it has nothing to do with us. We have done everything we should do..."

Listening to the words of several people, Lao Fang felt itchy at the base of his ears, as if there were needle pricks in his cochlea, and his breathing was a little short. At this moment, the loudspeaker smoothed things over and said with a smile: "Let's listen to Uncle Fang first." No matter what, he can’t blame us for this.”

Hey, who is your son? But you can serve me alone? We don’t have wives or children, so we all have to hang around your house? "

On the side, the man wearing a dog-skin hat said: "Uncle Fang, what do you want us to do? We have also been looking for leopards these days, and we haven't found them! Besides, we have bad tempers, so we can work together. It's easy to cause trouble, so we broke up yesterday. Fang Min didn't tell you about this at home? "

Da Xiao and others looked at each other, Li Mazi took a breath and said: "It's not that I don't want to kill the leopard, it's mainly because I can't kill it at once! I wandered around in the forest for five or six days in the first few days, and I couldn't even trace the leopard. I'm sure I can't help you even if I don't even look at your lair..."

Lan Guodong patted Lao Han on the arm and said, "It's almost enough. If something big happens in Uncle Fang's family, we can't help, so don't say sad words."

Lao Han glanced at Lan Guodong and said, "You can keep this and be a good person! I have to leave."

After saying that, Lao Han shook off Lan Guodong's arm and walked towards the entrance of the courtyard.

Li Mazi looked up at the silent Lao Fang and said, "Uncle Fang, let alone give me a sheep, even if you give me all three, I can't help you.

You also know that I am a timid person by nature. When hunting, I only dare to use a trap and a trap. When hunting wild boar, I have to climb a tree forty or fifty meters to fire the gun.

I have a wife and children at home, and I can’t fix that old leopard. You can go to anyone, but don’t go to me again. If you feel sorry for those pieces of mutton, wait until I buy them from the street, and then I’ll make up for you. superior! "

After Li Mazi finished speaking, he turned and left. Lan Guodong looked at the four people who had already walked towards the courtyard gate, turned to stare at Lao Fang, and said, "Well, I am brave, but my handle is not strong enough... …”

Immediately, Lan Bingdao and the other person left. Only Da Xiaoxiao and Lao Fang were left in the courtyard, while Lao Fang's wife and eldest daughter-in-law stood at the door of the house, staring at the backs of the six people who left, mouthing He kept mumbling Mi Tai words.

Standing aside, Big Speaker took out a pack of economy cigarettes from his pocket and handed one to Lao Fang. He glanced at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were scolding her at the door, and took two puffs of cigarette in silence.

He has hardly said a few words since he entered Lao Fang's house. Even though Lao Han and Lao Fang were already having a conversation with guns and sticks, he still didn't mean to stop him. He always had the mentality of watching the fun, which is very uncomfortable. It fits the character of Big Trumpet, as well as his iconic mouth.

After smoking out a cigarette, Da Xiaokong threw the cigarette butt on the ground, looked up at Lao Fang and said, "Uncle Fang, you guys should pack up and go to bed. I'll go back first."

"Eh..." Old Fang nodded sadly, but when the loudspeaker was about to turn around and leave, he said, "Huang'er! Last time you said that Xu Erning from Qing'an could fight? Are you sure?"

Da Xiaoxiao stopped when he heard the words, turned around and said: "I don't know whether he is sure, but if you want to torture the old leopard to death, you have to find him. Xu Pao is not at home, and there are more than ten villages in Qing'an. Who do you want to say is the most confident?" , that must be Xu Erning."

Lao Fang looked into Big Horn's eyes. In fact, he knew in his heart that none of the so-called mountain runners in Taipingtun dared to fuck Lao Baozi, but teaming up was another matter, so he insisted on finding seven people.

Now that Lao Han, Li Mazi, Lan Guodong and others are gone, only the loudspeaker is left. Does he dare to compete with Lao Baozi alone? He didn't dare, so he remembered Xu Erning who had mentioned the loudspeaker at the beginning.

In addition, this leopard must be killed. Why? From Lao Fang's point of view, firstly, the leopard injured his eldest grandson, and secondly, the leopard identified his family and used his sheep as rations. If the old leopard was not killed, then the remaining three of his family would Even the sheep will die!
Lao Fang wrapped his cigarette butt around his mouth and said, "Huang'er, can you help me go to Qing'an to invite Xu Erning?"

The big speaker smiled: "It's okay to go, so I'll go empty-handed?" Lao Fang threw away the cigarette butt and said: "How can you be empty-handed? In such a place, didn't three sheep die just now? You drag one over to Xu Erning."

Big Speaker smiled: "Uncle Fang, it's not that I'm not happy. You probably don't know that there are many people in his family. I gave him more than ten fish a year ago, but they were all gone after two or three meals. Later I gave him another Order the loach and the old man fish..."

Lao Fang looked at him for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Pull both ends for him! I'll get it for you now, and you can go tomorrow, okay?"

The loudspeaker didn't even bother to grind, so he nodded and said, "hit!"

When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were standing at the door heard this, the old lady walked over slowly and cried: "Why do you have to give away both ends? They are both good sheep, eh... I am a sheep..."

As soon as Lao Fang walked to the door of the lower room, he turned around and yelled: "Take your mother to the room, and put them on both sides to sleep. Howl!"

The eldest daughter-in-law supported the old lady's arm and was about to walk into the house. However, the old lady didn't walk at all. Her legs seemed to be weak. She sat down on the ground, raised her finger and pointed at the loudspeaker and scolded: "You're holding back." You bastards, you even take food and don’t work, how can you be like you? After eating the sheep, you just stroll around and don’t contribute at all..."

After hearing this, Da Xiaokang frowned and said, "Auntie, are you being very troublesome? If you are like this, then I will let the whole village judge you tomorrow."

Old Fang retracted his hand that was on the door, turned around and rushed to his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in two vigorous steps. He raised his hand and slapped the old lady in the face, "Don't be so stupid, just go to the house and die!"

Lao Fang stared at his eldest daughter-in-law and shouted, "What are you looking for? Give your mother the whole house!"

The old lady received a slap, her head buzzed, she covered her face and pointed at Lao Fang, gritted her teeth and cursed: "You old bastard! How dare you hit me? I'll serve you day and night. You gave birth to three children, the second one was beaten to death by you when he was a child, and the third one was beaten away by you... My poor eldest grandson, you have to let him live in the house, you old turtle..."

"Mom, stop talking..." The eldest daughter-in-law helped her mother-in-law into the house and closed the door to persuade her.

When the old lady heard this, she turned around and scolded her eldest daughter-in-law, saying that she was an old rooster and could only lay one egg.

At the hospital, Lao Fang turned around and said, "Your aunt is just like that, don't be like her."

Big Speaker smiled and said: "I know, but my mouth is just like that, so don't yell like me. Uncle Fang, I'll put it outside the sheepfold and continue..."

After saying that, the loudspeaker walked towards the sheepfold. Lao Fang paused, and finally opened the door of the lower room without saying a word. Fang Daquan in the room heard the noise outside and did not go out. He only listened to Lao Fang. If so, focus on taking care of Fang Min.

Lao Fang walked to the sheepfold and looked at the three dead sheep lying in the sheep dung. His heart dropped to the bottom of the valley. He sighed heavily, picked out two slightly smaller sheep, and handed them to the big sheep along the gap. trumpet.

Big Horn grabbed the hind legs of the two sheep and said, "Then I'm leaving, Uncle Fang."

"Let's go. If Xu Erning agrees, ask him to come over."

"It should."

Big Horn dragged the two sheep out and headed home. When he arrived home, the lights in the outhouse were on.

After the loudspeaker left, Zhang Guifang did not continue to sleep. Instead, she lay on the bed and tossed and turned. When she heard some movement in the courtyard, she hurriedly got up and went to the outhouse to unbolt the door.

Zhang Guifang saw the two sheep he was carrying and said excitedly: "Oh my God, how did you get two sheep back?"

Da Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "Don't rush to be happy, this is the capital that Lao Fang wants to ask Brother Xu to help."

"Ah, nothing happened then?"

Daxiao placed the dead sheep on the ground outside the outhouse, rubbed his hands in the washbasin, and said, "Nothing happened. Lao Fang's eldest grandson was bitten by a leopard. I looked at the left side of his face and his face was disfigured. Lao Deng went over and stitched five Needle, there are six big sheep left in Lao Fang’s family, and three of them were killed by the leopard.”

"Hey, hey, tell me, if you had known this, you should have asked Brother Xu to come here. Just for the two dead sheep left, look, now you have three more, and you have given them to your grandson."

The loudspeaker said: "It's not good. This old Fang is really cunning in doing things. Just now, Lao Han and Lao Fang had a quarrel. Li Mazi said on the spot that he couldn't help. Lan Guodong pretended to be a good person and ran away in the end."

Zhang Guifang asked: "Why did Lao Han and Lao Fang start to quarrel?"

"Just because Lao Fang said that we ate his sheep, we could still chat without mentioning it. When we mentioned it, we all got a little angry. Anyway, it ended up being quite tense. Okay, let's talk about it tomorrow. Let's go to bed."

Zhang Guifang pointed to the dead sheep, "Why don't we keep some of these sheep?"

"Leave nothing here. This is a sheep for Lao Fang. If you leave a piece of meat, it will be buried for the rest of your life. Do you understand?"

Zhang Guifang nodded, "You are right, Aunt Fang is really..."

Big Speaker entered the room, kicked off his shoes, socks, and cotton-padded jacket, and said, "This old lady even scolded me."

"Why are you scolding me?"

"They said I couldn't even work without food, eh, it didn't make me angry. Fortunately, I've been used to being dismissed by others over the years, and I've practiced it. Later, I said something to Lao Fang. Then. I can’t swallow this breath. When I have time, I have to go publicize it..."

Zhang Guifang did not stop him and said: "You are right to confront him, why didn't we do anything? Just wandering around outside for five or six days in a row, isn't this work? You are so capable, and I still want you to beat yourself up." Leopard? My mother didn’t like them before she was alive. Don’t talk to them anymore!”

Da Xiaoxiao got into the bed and said: "Are you thinking about what I am happy with? I don't think about waiting for Mr. Xu to get married and have children. Then I can give his children some goat's milk! If you don't think about it now, will you be able to have it in the future?" Is it your share?"

Zhang Guifang frowned: "You are so carefree, old Xu family, are they waiting to take you with them?"

Big Speaker stretched out his hand to turn off the light, "Whether you can take me hiking in the mountains is another matter. We have to put aside our feelings first and ask my son to come with me tomorrow."

"Okay, what will you eat tomorrow morning?"

Big Speaker said: "Just a little bit of trouble will do. How can our conditions be like those of the old Xu family?"

Zhang Guifang patted his belly and said, "Be more ambitious! Sooner or later, there will come a time."

"That must be the case!"
