The whole mountain is my hunting ground.

Chapter 1206 Discovering the enemy
A Li Dayong and a Jin Xiaomei were called Li Yong and Jin Mei by Li Ruhai, which made them look completely disrespectful.

"I don't really know this person." After hearing what Li Ruhai said, the woman said, "My brother's wife's maiden name is Mu..."

"Ah!" Before the woman could finish her words, she heard Li Ruhai say firmly: "Mu Zuomin's family!"

"Hmm?" The woman was startled, and then she heard Li Ruhai ask, "Your brother's wife is called Mu Caixiang, right?"

When these two names came out of Li Ruhai's mouth, the woman's doubts about him disappeared instantly.

At this time, Li Ruhai asked: "Aunt, where is my aunt Mu's house?"

As he spoke, Li Ruhai looked around.

The woman secretly thought that this was not good. Nowadays, it was okay to entertain relatives and friends for a few days, but who would want to entertain beggars? The woman was afraid that Li Ruhai would harm her brothers, so she immediately said vaguely: "The couple went back to their parents' home, didn't you know?"

After saying this, the woman tried to make amends for herself and said, "Oh, you left Yongli, it must have taken you several days to get here, right?"

"Of course." Li Ruhai felt that the woman believed his identity, so he said aggrievedly: "I came out on the winter solstice. They made dumplings that day and gave me cornmeal dry food. It was still cold when I finished eating."

"Oh my..." The woman expressed sympathy and said, "This is too outrageous."

Sympathy is sympathy, but that's all.

The woman has work to do at home, it's impossible for her to keep pestering this little beggar.

"Well... that..." The woman organized her words in her mind, and then said to Li Ruhai: "I have a few pieces of cornmeal steamed cakes left over from this morning. If you don't mind, I'll give them to you. If you can't do it, just go home. No matter how bad it is at home, it's better than outside."

"Aunt, thank you!" Li Ruhai thanked the woman by shaking the teacup in his hand, and praised her: "Aunt, you are so kind-hearted, you are such a kind person!"

"Oh!" The woman smiled when she heard that and said, "What's good or bad? Wait for your aunt to take it for you."

After saying that, the woman turned around and ran into the yard.

Seeing the hostess leave, the black dog who had licked the basin clean raised his head and looked at Li Ruhai with a fierce look.

"No bite, no bite!" Li Ruhai stuck the wooden stick on the tent, walked quickly to the black dog, and tentatively handed the teacup in his hand to the dog.

Li Ruhai had a dog at home, and the black dog smelled the scent of its own kind from him. Seeing that Li Ruhai seemed to be offering him food, the black dog lowered its guard and wagged its tail at Li Ruhai.

Li Ruhai smiled when he saw this and poured the dog food in the teacup into the bowl in front of the black dog.

How can a dignified director of the Women's Department of Yong'an Village eat dog food?
After pouring the dog food in the teacup to the black dog, Li Ruhai held the teacup, leaned on the stick and squatted down at the foot of the west tent.

As soon as Li Ruhai squatted down, he heard the sound of a door opening in the yard behind him.

Li Ruhai quickly tilted his neck back, brought the teacup to his lips, and pretended to pour food into his mouth.

This scene was seen by the woman who ran out of the yard. Although she had never invited Li Ruhai into the house, the woman was really kind-hearted. She called Li Ruhai and said, "My son, if you are not full, there is some dry food here."

"Thank you, auntie!" Li Ruhai stood up with the help of a wooden stick and expressed his gratitude. The woman came to Li Ruhai, held an aluminum basin around her waist with one hand, and took steamed cakes from the basin with the other hand, handing them to Li Ruhai one by one.

There were four steamed cakes in total. Li Ruhai put one in his left pocket, one in his right pocket, and two in the teacup.

"Child, listen to your aunt and go home quickly." The woman advised Li Ruhai earnestly, "It's freezing cold outside. You will freeze to death overnight."

"Thank you, Auntie." Li Ruhai said, "It took me a lot of effort to get to this village. I can't just go back like this."

"Ah?" The woman was startled when she heard that, and then asked, "Whose family are you visiting in this village?"

"I'm looking for a man called Yang Huagui." After Li Ruhai said this, the woman asked curiously, "Are you related to his family?"

"No." Li Ruhai said, "I want to become his disciple and learn from him."

"Learning to paint?" the woman asked. Seeing Li Ruhai nod, the woman twitched her lips and said, "Child, you are learning from a teacher. Do you have money?"

The woman did not doubt it, she just thought that this little beggar Li Ruhai wanted to use the name of becoming Yang's apprentice as a free meal ticket.

"No." Li Ruhai pretended to be surprised and asked, "Is there still tuition? Can't I work for his family?"

"Do you think you are a carpenter or a bricklayer? You can stay here just by working for the master?" The woman waved her hand into the distance and said, "Child, go home quickly. This thing will never work."

"Aunt, that was several years ago. I was only five or six years old." Li Ruhai usually doesn't tell lies, but he does that to protect his reputation. If he really makes up a lie, it's very convincing.

Li Ruhai said to the woman, "The cabinet painter Yang Shang came to our village to paint cabinets and other things. I followed him and watched him for several days."

"He draws well." The woman nodded in agreement and said, "But you have no money, so he can't teach you."

At this point, the woman paused for a moment, then added: "Even if you give him money, he may not teach you, let alone say you have no money."

"Aunt, I want to go to his house and take a look." Li Ruhai asked, "Where is his house?"

"Oh!" After hearing what Li Ruhai said, the woman sighed softly, raised her hand and pointed to the north, saying: "Do you see the top of that big tree?"

Li Ruhai looked into the distance and saw only bare treetops behind the layers of roofs.

"Go east from under the tree, and it's the second house." The woman said, "They are not like ours. Their yard is surrounded by a wall. What kind of door gods are painted on the gate of the yard? You will know when you get there."

"Okay!" Li Ruhai got the exact location of the painting cabinet from the woman. He thanked the woman with a broken teacup in his shaking hands, saying, "Thank you, auntie!"

"No thanks, it's all right." The woman told Li Ruhai, "If he doesn't want to take you in, you can stay overnight at the village office. Go home early tomorrow and don't run around outside."

Li Ruhai nodded, thanked the woman again, and left with the stick. He pretended to eat a bowl of dog food, and there was dry food in the teacup, so Li Ruhai's steps were not so frivolous at this time.

Li Ruhai headed north. Some villagers saw him like this on the way, but no one came to question him.

In this way, Li Ruhai successfully reached the door of Yang's house where the painting cabinet was.

As the woman said, the Yang family's courtyard was surrounded by a brick wall, and the pine wood doors were dark black after being waxed and covered with ash. There were door gods painted on both doors, which looked majestic.

Li Ruhai did not try to look around the yard, but walked around Huagui'er's yard normally. He wanted to go around and observe the terrain and environment.

But there are houses on both sides of the Yang family's house. If you want to see the backyard of the Yang family's house, you have to go around to the back pole.

When Li Ruhai was walking eastward, he suddenly saw a man walking out of the toilet next to him.

Li Ruhai was slightly startled, but continued to move forward without looking around.

The man coming out of the toilet was none other than Zheng Donghai.

Zheng Donghai glanced at Li Ruhai's back and murmured, "There was a beggar just now?"

In Northeast China, begging in winter is not only a hardship, but it can also lead to your death.

When Zheng Donghai walked into Yang's house in Huaguier, Li Ruhai, who had his back to him, had a gleam in his eyes, and then he quickened his pace and ran towards the south end of the village.

When he came out of the south end of the village, Zhao Jun and his three companions were chatting in the jeep. Seeing a beggar in ragged clothes running towards them, Zhao Jun pushed the door and got out of the jeep first.

"Brother!" Li Ruhai raised his stick and said to Zhao Jun, "The enemy is in the village!"

"What?" Zhao Jun was shocked. Zhao Weipeng and others in the car also got out one after another. The four of them surrounded Li Ruhai in an instant.

"Did you see it?" Zhao Weipeng asked Li Ruhai. Li Ruhai shook the teacup filled with steamed cakes and said, "I saw it with my own eyes. It's absolutely true!"

"Ruhai, this has to be done!" Wang Qiang confirmed with Li Ruhai, but saw Li Ruhai nodded and said, "I'm watching his son!"

"Zheng Donghai?" Zhao Jun asked. Li Ruhai said, "Yes, that's him!"

As he spoke, Li Ruhai raised the dog-beating stick in his hand and pointed to the north, saying, "I saw him enter the Yang family with my own eyes."

"How do you know that it's the Yang family's painting cabinet?" Xie Chen asked. Li Ruhai smiled proudly and said, "Brother Chen, don't ask so many questions. I'm a professional at this."

Xie Chen was speechless, while Zhao Weipeng said to Li Ruhai: "Ruhai, good boy, thank you for your hard work."

Zhao Weipeng waved back and said, "Let's get in the car and go straight to the police station!"

"Wait!" Li Ruhai suddenly stopped them and said, "You go ahead, I'll stay."

"Ah?" Zhao Jun was stunned, looked at Li Ruhai and asked, "What else are you doing?"

"I'll stay in the village and keep watch." Li Ruhai said, "We can't let the enemy escape!"

"What's the point of following someone like you, a kid?" Wang Qiang pulled Li Ruhai and said, "If someone wants to leave, can you stop him?"

"That's right!" Xie Chen echoed, "What if you stay here and get into danger again?"

"Haha..." Li Ruhai smiled faintly and said proudly: "With my eloquent tongue, I can stop millions of soldiers..."

"Come on!" Li Ruhai was interrupted by Wang Qiang before he could finish his words. Wang Qiang said, "Just keep your mouth shut. Have you forgotten how your father and mother beat you? Even with millions of soldiers, you can't even stop your mother!"

Li Ruhai: "..."

"Hahaha..." Boss Zhao, who was cheated of his money, should have been sad, but at this moment he was amused by several people. It must be said that the people in this village are so interesting. Not only are they nice to listen to, but they are also funny.

"Uncle Wang, what are you talking about?" Li Ruhai rolled his eyes at Wang Qiang and said, "I didn't stay here to fight with anyone. I just wanted to keep an eye on the father and son so that we can know where they are. Otherwise, if the police come, they will come back empty-handed."

When Li Ruhai said this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Yes, the on-site police station came yesterday and found nothing, so what Li Ruhai said was necessary.

"Ruhai." Although Wang Qiang's words were harsh, he was really concerned about Li Ruhai's safety. He said to Li Ruhai, "Why don't I stay and accompany you."

"Forget it, Uncle Wang." Li Ruhai shook his head and said, "In this forest area, as long as you don't bully me, I won't suffer any loss anywhere."

"What are you talking about?" Wang Qiang glared at Li Ruhai unhappily, but then he pulled Li Ruhai over and gave him some instructions.

……

When the Zhao family helped to capture Yangjia Village, Yongli Village attacked Xing Zhiyong's home.

Hu Erya was sawing wood in the yard with a curved-handled saw. Yesterday, she asked Xing Zhiyong to saw firewood, but the old man ran away. He didn't come home for a day and a night, but Hu Erya didn't worry much.

It is not only normal for hikers to return home late, but it is also normal not to return home. Sometimes, when they have walked too far in the mountains or it is too dark, it is common for them to find a nearby shack to stay overnight.

What's more, Xing Zhiyong's father and his third uncle are both living in a shack in the mountains. Maybe Xing Zhiyong went to visit his father and his third uncle.

So, Hu Erya should live her life the way she wants.

But at this moment, the dog in the yard suddenly started barking. Hu Erya looked up and frowned.

There were two people standing in front of the courtyard gate, one was Li Hu's wife, and the other was Xu Guangfu.

Yesterday, Xu Guangfu told Xing Zhiyong and Li Hu the location of a black bear warehouse, and agreed that the two would give meat to the old man after they killed the black bears.

When Xu Guangfu woke up this morning, he was wondering whether those two bastards could kill the black bear and forgot about him.

Therefore, Xu Guangfu went to Li Hu's house first, under the pretext of wanting to get the curved-handle saw back.

When they went to Li Hu's house to ask, Li Hu's wife said that Li Hu had not returned, and asked Xu Guangfu why he was looking for Li Hu.

When Li Hu's wife heard Xu Guangfu say that Li Hu and Xing Zhiyong went together to kill Heixiazi Cang, she became scared.

The black bear is not like other animals. Killing it may end up hurting yourself.

Then, the two of them rushed to Xing Zhiyong's house.

When Hu Erya heard that the two men went to kill Hei Xia Zi, her first reaction was disbelief.

"No!" Hu Erya waved her hands and said, "My son was in the poplar forest last night and ran into his uncle Li..."

Speaking of this, Hu Erya also felt something was wrong!

Xu Guangfu swore that the two men went to kill Heixiazi Cang, and only Li Hu came back last night. What happened?

At this point, Hu Erya was also anxious, and the three of them hurried to Yong'an Middle School to look for Xing Hongyang. When they were leaving the village and rushing to school, the three of them also passed by the forest, but the forest was too large and the three of them could not go in to look for him.

They went to Yong'an Middle School, found Xing Hongyang and then went back to find Li Hu, who had been frozen into an ice sculpture.

Li Hu's wife knelt on the side of the road and cried loudly. Hu Erya and Xing Hongyang also became anxious.

The mother and daughter hurried back to the village to look for people. When the village chief learned that Li Hu was dead and Xing Zhiyong was missing, he quickly gathered the men in the village.

Today was not a day off, most of the men had gone to work, and the only ones left in the village were the idlers and the elderly. The village chief arranged for some people to go to the Li family to help, while he took the other group up the mountain to find Xing Zhiyong.

When they found Xing Zhiyong, it was already afternoon. The afternoon sun shone on the hillside and on Xing Zhiyong's hideous face.

At the same time, three jeeps and a Liberation truck stopped at Yangjia Village.

After Zhao Jun and his four companions went to the on-site police station to report the incident, the station chief Chen Weiyi called the Yong'an Forest Farm to communicate with Zhou Chunming. The on-site police station and the forest farm sent people and vehicles at the same time, and the two sides met outside Yangjia Village.

Everyone got off the car, and Chen Weiyi directed the troops from both sides to set up checkpoints at various exits of Yangjia Village.

Then, he took three police officers and Zhao Jun and others and walked into the village.

When they reached the north of the village, the crowd split into two groups, one group blocked the backyard of Yang's house where the painting cabinet was, and the other group headed straight for the front gate.

When Zhao Jun and others followed Chen Weiyi to the scene, they saw a group of women gathered opposite the Yang family compound.

Chen Weiyi suddenly stopped and raised his hand to signal everyone to stop. At this time, Li Ruhai's voice came from the crowd: "My grandfather left that dress for me, but my father and stepmother took it off with a lot of noise."

Zhao Jun: "..."

Wang Qiang, Xie Chen, Zhao Weipeng: "..."

"Oh my! This kid is right." In the crowd, the woman who had given Li Ruhai dry food said, "If there is a stepmother, there must be a stepfather."

As she said that, the woman turned around and patted the woman next to her, saying, "Don't fight with your husband. If you two really get divorced, what will happen to the child?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Li Ruhai asked the woman, "Aunt Zhang, why are you divorcing my uncle?"

Well, in just two hours, he not only successfully broke into the women's circle in Yangjia Village, but Li Ruhai even found out the last names of these women.

"Oh my!" The woman surnamed Zhang sighed and said, "That bastard is playing with money!"

"You can't play around with money!" Li Ruhai said, "Playing around with money will ruin your family! There's a guy in our village called Wang... Wang Daqiang. That guy plays around with money all year round. His wife would take the child and leave."

Wang Qiang: "..."
