The whole mountain is my hunting ground.

Chapter 1267: A Thank-You Gift from Yongxing Brigade

Yu Xuewen was busy with work and he never went to the mountains, but Li Laowu and others who stayed in the woods with him were not there for free.

These people practiced shooting in the brigade and went into the mountains to hunt birds and beasts, so their marksmanship was beyond words. And in terms of experience in mountaineering and hunting, they were no worse than those old mountain dogs.

It can be said that any one of the six hunter team members, including Li Laowu, is no worse than Wang Qiang if they are taken individually.

At this time, everyone chased forward a few steps with guns in hand, but when they saw it was pitch black, they stopped in annoyance.

Yu Xuewen held a gun in his hand, his face was ashen. After a day of hard work by twenty or thirty people, this was the result. The brigade secretary really couldn't accept it.

"Chase it!" Yu Xuewen gritted his teeth and called out to everyone, "We have to kill it!"

"Secretary Yu!" Although Yu Xuewen was angry, Li Laowu had to persuade him, saying, "We have nowhere to go."

It's not that there is nowhere to chase it. The bear will definitely leave footprints when it runs, but the problem is that it is impossible to hunt in the dark.

"Is that it?" Yu Xuewen turned around and glared at Li Laowu, asking, "Ah? After all these thirteen moves, you have the nerve to go back, but I don't have the nerve to go back."

"Secretary Yu, this is not our fault." Li Laowu knew that Yu Xuewen was a very stubborn person, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to persuade Yu Xuewen: "No one thought that the bear devil would jump down out of nowhere."

"Yes, Brother Wen." Yu Xuewen's uncle Yu Xueliang knew his brother's temper and explained, "We have been hunting for many years and have never encountered anything like this."

This is true. It is common for people who hunt large animals to hide in trees and guard against bears for various reasons.

After hearing what Yu Xueliang said, Li Laowu turned around and pointed at the fire under the tree and said to Xuewen: "Secretary Yu, we haven't stopped adding firewood. The flames are so high, they shouldn't come down!"

"That's right!" As soon as Li Laowu finished speaking, others echoed, "Secretary Yu, this bear devil is so damn cunning, as soon as it moves on the tree, we should aim upwards with our guns.

This time it suddenly jumped down and we didn’t even have time to react.”

"Why else is it called a bear devil?" Huang Gui's friend Li Shufeng said, "My father-in-law said that this thing is a thief!"

After hearing what everyone said, Yu Xuewen gave up the idea of ​​chasing the bear in the dark, but his face still looked very bad.

"What should we do?" Yu Xuewen asked everyone, then kicked the tree trunk and said angrily: "It's all in vain!"

"Secretary Yu." Li Shufeng said to Xuewen cautiously, "Let's go back..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, seeing Yu Xuewen looking at him unkindly, Li Shufeng hurriedly added: "My father-in-law said that these bear devils run in big circles and leave footprints in circles, which are impossible to understand.

If you want to chase it, you must have a big-headed dog, otherwise you won’t be able to catch it at all.”

As soon as Li Shufeng finished speaking, someone next to him interrupted and said, "Old Li, your dog is a big-headed dog, right?"

Li Shufeng was startled. How could there be a big-headed dog in his house?

But at this moment, the man said, "Your dog chased the bear devils into the cave."

"Oh my god, I..." Li Shufeng cursed after he came to his senses. In order to explore the bottomless pit, he tied a rope around the hunting dog's waist, thinking that if the dog was in danger, he could pull it out of the hole.

Unexpectedly, both the dog and the leash were taken in.

Although Yu Xuewen promised to get him two good dogs, Li Shufeng was still very sad. How could Li Shufeng bear to hear people mocking him?
"Alright!" Yu Xuewen stopped Li Shufeng, then glared at the man who had just spoken nonsense, and then asked Li Shufeng: "Brother, who has a big-headed dog?"

Hearing Yu Xuewen's question, Li Shufeng replied: "Zhao Jun's family has them. His black dog and the big black fat man, I think they are both in good condition."

Hearing what Li Shufeng said, Yu Xuewen's mouth twitched, remembering that Zhao Jun wanted to leave the long-haired green dog to them before leaving, but Yu Xuewen and his men had little dry food on them, so if they kept the dog, they would have to feed it. If they fed the dog, they would not have enough food.

At that time, Yu Xuewen asked Li Laowu, and no one knew what Li Laowu was thinking at the time, but he said, "We don't need dogs. If this bear devil comes down, we can knock it down, and we can pinch it with our hands."

Yu Xuewen just thought about it and said nothing. He didn't like to blame people. Since the matter had already happened, complaining would be useless.

"Okay." Yu Xuewen closed the semi-automatic safety, then slung the gun over his shoulder and said, "Let's go back."

"Go back, Brother Wen?" Yu Xueliang asked casually. Yu Xuewen said unhappily, "If you don't go back, what else can you do? Don't we still have to find Zhao Jun?"

As he spoke, Yu Xuewen looked in the direction of Yongxing Brigade and said, "Let's go back now. We can be home before six o'clock. They won't bring us out at that time. Let's have a meal together after that."

When Zhao Jun and his men were going back, Yu Xuewen asked the people from Yongxing Brigade to pick them up at dawn.

As for Zhao Jun, Yu Xuewen had agreed with him to rest in the guesthouse and he didn't need to come over.

But Yu Xuewen also said that if they killed this bear devil, the entire bear would be given to the Zhao army, and they would not want even a single bear hair.

But now the situation has changed, and Yu Xuewen wants to go back and call the Zhao family to help.

The group walked towards Yongxing Brigade with torches. When they were still seven or eight miles away from home and could hear the crowing of chickens from the brigade, Zhao Jun, Wang Qiang and Jie Chen were just laying straw in the back trunk of the Jiefang truck.

They had to take the injured dog with them when they got home, so Li Wencai got a lot of straw and asked Zhao Jun and his men to spread it in the car. Then they let the injured dog lie on the straw and covered it with a sack.

Just when Zhao Jun and his men were busy, Tao Fei drove a Jiefang car into the compound. Tao Fulin was sitting in the passenger seat, and the two brothers Tao Dabao and Tao Xiaobao were standing in the trunk.

The first two times Zhao Jun came, the Tao family gave him chickens, ducks, and geese as gifts. Zhao Jun had previously bought more than seventy geese from them, so Tao Dabao did not give him any poultry this time.

The Tao family gave three large male goats to the three Zhao soldiers, just one for each person.

Just after putting the sheep on the car, Tao Dabao opened the northernmost shed. After he opened the shed, Heihu and Erhei jumped out of the shed.

Tao Dabao asked Zhao Jun before opening the door of the shed, and Zhao Jun said it was okay, so he opened it.

At this time, the two dogs in the shed ran out, and Tao Dabao directed Zhao Jun, Jie Chen, Tao Xiaobao, and Tao Fei to pull out cowhide rolls from the shed one by one.

The cowhide rolls are very heavy because each one is made of a whole piece of cowhide.

Yesterday when we were having dinner at Tao Dabao's house, Tao Dabao apologized for the injury of Zhao Jun's hunting dog.

Afterwards, Tao Dabao asked Zhao Jun why some dogs were wearing armor but some were not?

What Zhao Jun said at that time was that there wasn't so much bragging before.

Zhao Jun didn't lie, he really wasn't bragging enough at that time.

Although the two Zhaos later defeated Da Qingniu with spears, Zhu Dajiang did not have time to make the second batch of armor for the Zhao family's gang.

But when Tao Dabao heard Zhao Jun say that there were not enough cowhides, he wanted to give Zhao Jun all the cowhides that Yongxing Brigade had accumulated in the past two years.

In the past two years, five cows in Yongxing Brigade were killed because their broken legs could not be treated. The beef was distributed to every household, while the horns, hides, tendons and other parts were retained.

The Yongxing Brigade was wealthy and had no intention of buying these things. They also kept the cowhide for making drums in the future.

But Tao Dabao said that Zhao Jun solved the problem for their Yongxing Brigade, so he gave the cowhide to them.

The cowhide was a thank-you gift from the Yongxing Brigade, and the three male goats were gifts from the Tao family to Zhao Jun and his men.

"We have saved these five for the past two years." Tao Dabao said as Zhao Jun and his men were loading cow hides onto the carriage, "When we have more in the future, we will keep them for you. We will decide whether you want to buy them or give them to you as gifts."

These five cowhides are given as gifts today. Although Tao Dabao did not discuss it with Yu Xuewen, Tao Dabao believes that even if Yu Xuewen were here, he would agree.

"Uncle Tao, we are all grateful to you for this." Zhao Jun thanked Tao Dabao. Cowhide is a rare thing, and it is not easy to get it even if the Zhao family is rich.

Although the skin of the big blue bull is enough for each dog in the Zhao family's dog gang to wear a set of armor, the Zhao army is willing to stock up more of the cowhide.

As for what Tao Dabao said just now, "They have only collected these five cowhides in two years", there is a reason for that. When talking about cowhides yesterday, Wang Qiang, who was drunk, suddenly said, "Brother Tao, you have only collected these few cowhides in two years?"
Young Master Wang said this not because he thought it was too little, but because he was thinking of Zhao Youcai. He thought that his brother-in-law had killed two cow hides in two months by himself. Your production team with a population of over a thousand people only managed to collect five in two years.

After Zhao Jun and his men loaded all the cowhide rolls onto the truck, Tao Dabao opened the third shed from the north. After releasing the yellow dragon and the flower dragon, Tao Dabao pulled out a sack from the shed.

Pulling the sack in front of Zhao Jun, Tao Dabao said to him: "These are two sets of beef tendons."

Zhao Jun took the initiative to ask Tao Dabao for these two sets of beef tendons. Together with the two sets at home, these two sets will be of great use to Zhao Jun.

At this time, Li Wencai brought over the almost cold dog food. The old man had fed all the injured dogs in the house.

Zhao Jun released all the dogs in the shed and asked Li Wencai to help feed the dogs. He, Wang Qiang and Jie Chen brought all the injured dogs out of the house and put them into the trunk of the car one by one.

He first settled the injured dog, then drove the other well-fed dogs into the car. After everything was packed up, Zhao Jun said goodbye to everyone and climbed into the trunk.

Along the way, Zhao Jun had to stay in the trunk of the car to accompany the hunting dog.

The car started and slowly drove out of the guesthouse. Tao Fulin waved to Zhao Jun reluctantly and shouted, "Boy, what brought you here?"

"Hey, Master Tao." Zhao Jun shouted in response, "Go back quickly, it's very cold!"

As soon as Zhao Jun finished speaking, Xie Chen stepped on the gas and the car drove into the dark night.

After seeing Zhao Jun off, the Tao family, consisting of three generations of four, were about to return to their homes when they were stopped by Li Wencai.

Li Wencai led everyone into the east room of the guesthouse, pointed at the things on the kang, and said to the Tao family: "This was bought by Zhao kid for you. I don't care how you divide it."

On the edge of the kang, there were twelve bottles of Xifeng wine and twelve packs of Yingchun cigarettes.

This should be divided among Tao Fulin, Tao Dabao and Tao Xiaobao.

This time Zhao Jun did not buy Tao Dabao a stone forest, because Tao Dabao was not Zhao Youcai. Even if Zhao Jun gave him the entire stone forest, Tao Dabao would not even open the seal.

As for Yingchun, although Tao Dabao usually can't afford to buy this, he will still smoke it if someone gives it to him.

"This kid!" Tao Fulin sighed, picked up a pack of Yingchun cigarettes, and asked, "When did you buy it?"

Yingchun is not as expensive as Shilin, but the cigarettes and alcohol that Zhao Jun bought together cost about a hundred yuan.

After saying that, Tao Fulin took the Yingchun cigarette, looked at Li Wencai and said, "I'll give you one?"

"I have it." Li Wencai smiled, pointed to the kang cabinet, and said, "Zhao Xiaozi also gave it to me."

After saying this, Li Wencai added: "He also prepared a copy of these things for Xuewen and asked me to put it in the dish rack."

Yu Xuewen and Tao Dabao both grew up under his care, so Li Wencai doesn't need to call them Secretary Yu or Director Tao.

"What a nice kid!" Tao Fulin couldn't help but praise Zhao Jun, and Tao Dabao and Tao Xiaobao echoed him.

After the family of four took their things and left, Li Wencai closed the door, returned to the east room, sat down on the kang, and took out a box of Shilin from his pocket with a smile.

This old man couldn't even smoke the golden gourd normally, but Zhao Jun gave Li Wencai the same thing as the Tao family. Not only that, Zhao Jun also gave the old man an extra box of Shilin cigarettes.

In the past, Li Wencai would definitely exchange these good cigarettes and good wine for money, but recently he thought it through. He is just an old man, so what’s the point of keeping the money?
After opening the package, Li Wencai took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, struck a match, lit it and took a puff.

As he exhaled the smoke, Li Wencai pinched the cigarette in his hand, held it in front of him and looked at it, muttering, "This cigarette is so damn good!"

After saying that, Li Wencai quickly put the cigarette back into his mouth, fearing that it would be wasted.

The old man smoked a cigarette until his hand burned and then he threw the butt on the ground.

Then, Li Wencai leaned against the kang cabinet, took out a whole carton of Yingchun cigarettes, looked at them with great satisfaction, and said to himself, "I only smoke one cigarette a day, and these few cartons will be enough for me to smoke for several years."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Wencai opened the entire cigarette box, took out a pack, opened it, lit a cigarette and just took a puff when the door of the outer room was suddenly opened.

"Ouch!" This suddenness startled the old man. Li Wencai sat up and looked at Yu Xuewen who had barged into the room and asked, "Xuewen, are you here to get some cigarettes?"

"What?" Yu Xuewen rushed back without even going home, and went straight to the guesthouse to find Zhao Jun. He was out of breath when he just entered the room, and was about to ask where Zhao Jun had gone, but Li Wencai beat him to it.

After hearing what Li Wencai said, Yu Xuewen was confused.

Seeing him in a daze, Li Wencai went down to the ground and said to Xuewen, "Not only are there cigarettes, Zhao also bought you some wine."

"No, Uncle Li." Yu Xuewen hurriedly stopped Li Wencai and asked him, "Where is Zhao Jun?"

"He went home." When Li Wencai said this, Yu Xuewen asked anxiously, "Why did he go home?"

"Their forestry secretary called last night and told Zhao to go back and knock on his big claws." After saying this, Li Wencai immediately added: "We've finished our work here, so let him go. Otherwise, we can't let him go. We have to make good arrangements for him."

After hearing what Li Wencai said, Yu Xuewen turned around and walked out. Li Wencai chased him to the outer room and shouted, "Xuewen, are you leaving? Do you have the cigarettes and the wine?"

"No!" Yu Xuewen didn't care about the cigarettes and alcohol. Before closing the door, he responded to Li Wencai: "Here you go, Uncle Li. You can keep them for smoking and drinking."

After saying that, Yu Xuewen closed the door.

The old man in the house didn't know what had happened in the mountains. After hearing Yu Xuewen's words, he happily ran to the bowl rack, took out four packs of Yingchun cigarettes and held them in his arms.

Then, Li Wencai walked towards the east room, muttering with a smile: "This is enough for me to smoke for ten years!"
