Return to 1983 Hunting Xing'an Mountains

Chapter 366: Xu Laonian, the Donkey and Horse Egg, Complains
Xu Ning loaded the gun with lead bullets and aimed the old I-shaped air rifle at a palm-sized target thirty meters away. Although the first shot did not miss the target, it was off target and he was only given 3 points. This was because he was not familiar with the new gun. The remaining nine shots were much smoother and he was given 65 points.

There are three circles drawn on the palm-sized target. The central circle is 8 points, and the ones extending outward are 6 points and 3 points. This scoring method was previously developed by Xu Laonian and Wang Erli. At that time, they used a 56-point shooting gun to hit a target meters away.

When it was Guan Lei's turn, there was a small problem with his gun holding posture. After Xu Ning helped him correct it, he missed the target four times and was awarded 21 points. There was no doubt that Xu Ning and Guan Lei won.

Anyone who has played donkey riding knows that this game is more fun with more people. Xu Ning, Li Fuqiang, Wang Hu and Guan Lei, four people, simply couldn't play it, so Xu Ning jumped off after jumping onto Li Fuqiang's back and switched to jumping over the goat, which is also called jumping over the horse or jumping over the donkey.

After playing in the backyard for a little over half an hour, Xu Feng, Wang Biao, Liu Tianen and Jin Yumantang came back. Seeing that the four of them were having a great time, they wanted to join in.

Xu Ning didn't tolerate any bad behavior at all. He pressed Xu Feng's shoulder and praised her. Xu Feng stood up and said resentfully, "Second brother, why are you bullying a child? Can't you let me go?"

"Why should I let you? You didn't poop or pee on my back the other day."

"Hey! Why are you talking about what happened a while ago again? It's been so many years."

While Xu Ning and Xu Feng were arguing, Li Fuqiang pushed Li Mantang over and laughed, "Great! Haha, brother, look at your nephew's physique, he's quite strong!"

Li Jinyu laughed beside him: "Dad, he eats three bowls of rice a day, how can he not be strong?"

"It's the time for growth. Okay, I won't bully you anymore. Come inside and have a rest."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Laonian and Wang Erli followed the alley to the backyard, looked at them and said with a smile: "Are you playing? Take one of us with you."

"Uncle, you are so old, don't do anything rash." Li Fuqiang advised.

Xu Laonian waved his hands: "What are you afraid of? I'm in great shape! Do you want to play?"

"Let's play. We'll use steel hammers and the loser will be treated like a donkey or a horse!" Xu Ning said.

The nail steel hammer is rock-paper-scissors, also known as the chopping sword.

"Okay! Let's find a poor fellow to be our donkey's horse." Xu Laonian nodded in agreement. What he was thinking was to let Xu Ning be the donkey's horse, and everyone would ride him together, which would be more fun.

A group of people formed a circle and started hammering steel. Xu Feng was quite excited. She had never had so many people play with her before.

"Hahaha, I won!" Xu Feng raised his fist and withdrew with Wang Biao and Li Fuqiang.

After four more hammer strikes, only Xu Ning, Li Mantang, Xu Laonian and Wang Erli were left.

At this time, Xu Ning winked at Li Mantang, stretched out his hand, and the two of them put out cloth, while Xu Laonian and Wang Erli put out stones.

"Hahaha, uncle, what's going on between you and my second uncle?"

Xu Laonian said stubbornly, "I haven't played for several years, so my hands are a little rusty! Erli, you're catching an innocent person, so be careful."

"Don't worry, brother, I will never give in to you!" Wang Erli was also under a lot of pressure.

"Nailed Steel Hammer!!"

Xu Laonian looked at his two fingers and wished he could break them off, because Wang Erli was clenching his fist tightly at the moment!

"Oh, fuck me!"

Wang Erli laughed: "Brother, you caught the innocent one you were talking about, and I guess you caught him yourself."

"Hahaha..." everyone laughed.

"not me……"

Xu Laonian was about to explain, but Xu Ning raised his hand and pressed his shoulder, saying, "It's nothing. Hurry up and squat down. Line up, line up, one by one."

After Xu Laonian squatted down, he looked at Xu Ning sadly and held his head helplessly. Then Wang Erli stepped over first, followed by Xu Feng and others.

Xu Ning stood at the end. With his hands like eagle claws, he ran towards Xu Laonian, grabbed his shoulders with both hands, and leaped over.

"Oh my god! You little bastard, how dare you pinch me?"

Xu Ning turned around and said, "Dad, please don't play around. I didn't pinch you. This is a normal touch."

"Upgrade, upgrade!"

Xu Feng jumped and shouted twice.

Xu Laonian stood up and moved up to level two, and then everyone easily crossed over again.

"Level 4! Dad, hold your arms up." Xu Feng walked over to help Xu Laonian pose.

Xu Feng was a little troubled by the height because she was not tall and it was difficult for her to step over it.

"Put it behind me."

Xu Feng pulled Xu Ning and whispered, "Second brother, what should I do if I can't get over it?"

"Then you can just be a donkey or a horse."

"Hey, second brother..."

"I have a trick, just go for it."

Hearing that his second brother had a plan, Xu Feng felt relieved and nodded: "Yeah!"

After Wang Erli, Li Fuqiang and others had stepped over, it was Li Jinyu's turn. She was slightly taller than Xu Feng, and although it was a bit difficult for her to step over, she still landed steadily.

"Haha, my daughter is amazing."

Li Jinyu looked quite quiet, but unexpectedly she could be so relaxed when playing this kind of game, which made Li Fuqiang very happy. Li Mantang, who had been grunting and sulking, also grinned beside him. It has to be said that the atmosphere and ambience of a family can definitely affect the growth of a child.

Xu Ning pushed down Xu Laonian's shoulder and stepped over him easily. Xu Laonian turned around and looked at Xu Feng and said with a smile, "Feng'er, hurry up."

Xu Feng had a serious look on his face. He ran over with all his strength, put his whole body on Xu Laonian and knocked him to the ground.

"Hey... you were almost killed by dad, hahaha, it's your turn, Feng'er, squat down quickly."

Xu Ning helped Xu Feng up and said, "Hey, brother, is it my mother calling you to eat? Hey! Go into the house and wash your hands and set the table. If you waste any more time, my mother will have to come out with the stove hook."

"That's not bad! Brother, let's go inside."

Wang Hu and Wang Biao grabbed Wang Erli's arms with a smile, "Dad, come into the house and wash your hands."

After everyone around walked towards the alley, Xu Laonian stood there in a daze. He shouted anxiously, "Hey! No, can you afford to play tricks? Are you playing tricks? Are you a bad person?! You little bastard, just stand there! Oh, I'll slap you to death..."

"Hahaha……"

Everyone laughed and rushed to the front yard and into the outer room.

Xu Laonian came late and chased into the house. Seeing Liu Lizhen staring at him, he complained, "Zhen! This little bastard is bullying me!"

Liu Lizhen didn't hesitate and said through gritted teeth: "It's your fault. Who told you to play with him?"

"Hey, they bullied me, and you didn't care... I'm so angry."

"That saves a meal."

Xu Laonian didn't say anything else, but went into the east room with a wronged look on his face. Seeing Wang Erli and others smiling at him, he sat on the edge of the kang with a cold face. At this time, Xu Feng ran over and ran into his arms, "Dad, you can't bear to let me be a donkey, right?" "Yes, that's for sure."

"So we just finished the game, and you didn't suffer any loss."

Xu Laonian lowered his head and rolled a cigarette, and it was obvious that his mood did not improve because of Xu Feng's words.

After washing his hands, Xu Ning lifted the door curtain and entered the house. He felt funny watching him sulking. This old Xu was just like a child a few days ago. When he got angry, even an animal couldn't stop him.

After pulling the light cord, the light in the room came on. Wang Hu and others put the table away and picked up the dishes. Xu Ning hung the cleaned air gun on the wall of the east room, and then put the lead bullets in the floor cabinet.

"Dad, when did you get the lead bullet mold back?"

Xu Laonian looked up and replied listlessly, "In two days."

"Erning, I told the people in the mechanical repair department at noon that your uncle Qiu said it would take two or three days. If there is no corresponding drill bit, we have to sharpen the small drill bit by bit."

"Ah, Uncle Qiu is the cousin of my father's apprentice, right?"

"Well, you haven't seen him for three or four years. He's now working as a master in the repair department. His skills are quite solid."

Li Fuqiang said: "Last time, when Lao Lin's car was abandoned on the road, Master Qiu asked his apprentice to repair it."

"..."

Until the end of dinner, Xu Laonian still had a gloomy face. Liu Lizhen looked at him with hatred. When Xu Laonian came back from the toilet, Liu Lizhen pointed at his nose and scolded him. The most classic line was: Who are you showing your gloomy face to?
Xu Laonian pouted, "They teamed up to bully me, why don't you do anything about it?"

"How old are you? Why don't you feel bad about being ugly? Oh, hide away now. I get a headache when I see you."

"Then let me massage it for you." After saying that, Xu Laonian was about to start.

Liu Lizhen pushed his arm away and said, "Don't touch me, it's annoying."

Xu Ning just went out to feed the dog. Seeing the old couple flirting, he grinned and said, "What are you doing here secretly? Go inside and show off."

Liu Lizhen rolled her eyes, "You're everywhere."

"It's what he deserves! He deserves it! Jane, you can scold him, scold him to death! Look at how that little bastard pinched my shoulder, it hurts so much..."

Xu Laonian opened his collar to reveal his shoulders. Liu Lizhen glanced at him and said, "Stop being so weird. Nothing happened."

"Really? It hurts me anyway." Xu Laonian wanted to crawl into Liu Lizhen's arms and act coquettishly.

Seeing this, Xu Ning immediately turned around and went to the east wing, while Liu Lizhen raised her hand and patted Xu Laonian's chest, gnashing her teeth and saying, "Get lost! Why are you so annoying?"

"Oh, I feel so depressed."

"Annoying..." Liu Lizhen threw down a word and went into the outer room, no longer paying attention to Xu Laonian.

He turned his head to look at Xu Ning who came out with the dog food bowl, and gritted his teeth, "You little jerk."

"Dad, why are you acting like a child? My mom has been coaxing you for a long time, but you never smile."

Xu Laonian stood there and said, "If you squat down and act like a donkey or a horse, and let me straddle you a few times, then I will laugh."

"Haha, that's impossible! I don't want to play anymore."

After saying that, Xu Ning turned around, bent down, and stuck out his butt to give food to the dog helper Kuai. Seeing this, Xu Laonian hurriedly trotted over and kicked Xu Ning in the butt.

"Should!"

Xu Ning staggered forward and almost buried his face in the dog food bowl. After he stood firm, the dogs looked at him blankly, and then saw Xu Laonian's sly grin, and they pounced on him one by one, opening their mouths wide and howling, but they had ropes around their necks and could not get close to Xu Laonian at all.

"Oh my god, you scared me!"

"What are you doing?!" Liu Lizhen pinched her waist and leaned forward.

Xu Laonian was the first to complain, "Zhen, he ran over and bit me like a dog!"

"Hahaha." This made Xu Ning laugh. He turned around and looked at the footprints on his buttocks and said, "Mom, look at the footprints my dad kicked me with. My new pants are now dirty again."

Liu Lizhen knew what was going on at a glance. She patted Xu Laonian's neck and said, "Go inside! Why are you so annoying? Feng'er just does what you say. You're always annoying me."

Xu Laonian was not angry after being slapped on the head. Instead, he became full of energy and spirit and said with a smile: "My eldest daughter, how can you not follow me?"

Wang Erli lifted the door curtain and welcomed him into the house, saying, "Brother, why are you always arguing with Erning? You are already grown up."

Xu Laonian's smile did not diminish: "Whoever messed with him, I would cut him!"

Just now, most people in the room saw Xu Laonian kicking Xu Ning. It could be said to be quite childish, but they also found it quite interesting, so they laughed secretly a few times.

After Xu Ning finished feeding the dogs, he threw the dog food bowl into the east wing. He passed by the doghouse and saw Hualang and Duyan eating happily. He couldn't help but smile. The more he raised these five puppies, the more he liked them. If he took them through a few fierce battles, they would definitely be as fierce as Qinglang and Heilang. However, they were still a little small now.

Lao Fei and San Sha were sent to Lao Wang's house. The four dogs lived in the kennel and were always bullied by Qing Lang, Hei Lang and other dogs. The kennel was too crowded. It was the right choice to keep them at Lao Wang's house. Why didn't he send them away? Because it hadn't been delayed yet, and Da Laba was busy at the street clinic at the moment, so Xu Ning should take care of them.

As soon as he entered the door, he heard Xu Laonian and Wang Erli chatting about Lao Jiang and Jiang Qiu'er. They meant to invite them father and daughter to come over for a meal on the day of Lao Batou Festival. After all, Lao Jiang and Liu Daming and Da Laba had teamed up to hike in the mountains, and Lao Batou Festival was the day when the hunting gang, the wood gang, and the ginseng gang got together to celebrate.

Xu Ning finished washing his hands in front of the washbasin and was about to go into the house when Liu Daming came in carrying half a roe deer.

"Uncle, where can I get a roe deer?"

Liu Daming said excitedly: "I went to Shizuishan with Lao Jiang today and played it there. Hey, today's idea is really good!"

He threw half a roe deer onto the stove and went into the house with Xu Ning.

"How many did you encounter? Ming Dynasty." Wang Erli asked.

"Three roe deer! We were hitting a roe deer, but we didn't just lie down. The three of them turned around and ran away. We chased them for about 200 meters and saw a roe deer hanging on a tree branch. Oh my god! Lao Jiang and I were stunned at the time. When we got closer, we found that the roe deer was hanging on the tree branch below because we didn't pay attention when we jumped off the hill.

Lao Jiang raised his hand and shot it, and then he went to chase the injured roe deer. I climbed up the tree and took down the roe deer..."

Xu Laonian was a little surprised. "How could you two run into this? Oh my god, it's a really good idea!"

"Well, we both didn't expect to encounter roe deer. We were originally looking for pigs, but we didn't expect... After we got home, Lao Jiang kept one to sell, gave half of the remaining one to our family, cut some meat from the remaining half and kept it for himself, and sent the rest to Guoxing."

Xu Laonian nodded: "That's great. Lao Jiang is not a stingy person. Tell him tomorrow that Lao Batou will let him and Xiao Qiuer come here for dinner in a few days."

Liu Daming responded: "Well, tell him tomorrow, what happened to Hu Zhiyong?"

Xu Ning said: "He is lying in the hospital. He lost two fingers."

"At least I saved my life..."

Upon hearing this, Xu Laonian asked, "Is Guoxing stranded on the street? Will he be back in a couple of days?"

"I don't know, but he should be able to come back. Today, Lao Hu, Lao Deng and Li Ye all came back. Only my brother, Hu Zhibin and Hu Zhiyong's wife are left in the health center."

"No matter whether they can come back or not, you can invite them over for dinner and have a good time together in the evening."

"Okay, if you don't say it, I have to mention it."
