The whole mountain is my hunting ground.

Chapter 1276: The Zhao Army and Yizier's Close Combat
"Squeak... Wow..."

The egg liquid spread in the hot oil solidifies instantly, with a slight bulge in the middle.

Wang Meilan quickly stir-fried the eggs with a spatula, breaking them into pieces, and then took the bowl of sauce next to her.

Zhao Jun is not at home today, so the Zhao family has a simple breakfast of blanched radish dipped in egg sauce with corn porridge and steamed buns.

At this time, the staple food and blanched dried radish have been served on the table, and Wang Meilan can start eating after frying the sauce.

Just then, the dog outside the house barked twice. Wang Meilan recognized the person from the barking sound. She looked out the window and saw that it was Jie Chen.

The egg sauce was just coming out of the pot. Wang Meilan held the sauce bowl and waited for Jie Chen to come in. She asked Jie Chen, "Xiaochen, have you eaten yet? Come upstairs and eat here."

"Aunt, I'm done." Xie Chen reached out to take the sauce bowl and said with a smile, "My grandmother Jiang stretched the noodles."

After saying this, Xie Chen praised his mother again, "My mother got up at around four in the morning and woke us all up."

"Why does she get up so early?" Wang Meilan asked in surprise while picking up the dishes and chopsticks.

"Heat up the kang." Xie Chen said with a smile, "My mother said the dog was injured and she was afraid it would be cold."

"Oh!" Wang Meilan was delighted when she heard it. Xie Chen continued, "After the kang is heated, put the dog food in, and then feed the dog."

"My sister is so great!" Wang Meilan followed up with a compliment. While she was talking, two people came into the house carrying things.

Xie Chen put the bowl of sauce on the table, called "Uncle" to Zhao Youcai, and then sat down beside him naturally.

"Have you finished eating, young minister?" Zhao Youcai asked, which was equivalent to a greeting.

After getting Xie Chen's response, Zhao Youcai asked him again: "What happened to those dogs?"

In the past, injured dogs were kept inside the house, but this time there were five injured dogs and the houses of the Zhao and Li families could not accommodate them, so they were sent to the newly purchased house of the Xie family.

The responsibility of taking care of these dogs fell on the shoulders of the Sun family.

People, they change so quickly.

Xie Sunshi, who was lazy and ate more than two months ago, has now become hardworking and persevering!
"Much better." Xie Chen smiled and said, "The injection heals quickly... um... Auntie."

While Xie Chen was speaking, Wang Meilan turned around and took three envelopes from the cabinet.

When handing it over to Xie Chen, Wang Meilan specially separated out an envelope and said to Xie Chen: "This is the money for your family to buy a TV. Auntie has written it down for you."

When Xie Chen took a look, he saw the word "Jie" written on the envelope.

Xie Chen took the three envelopes in his hand, then smiled at Wang Meilan and said, "Aunt, please give me some more money."

Xie Chen knew that the other two envelopes contained money for the Zhao family to buy four major items.

According to the agreement among the families, Wang Meilan will give the money.

If Wang Meilan gave him the money, Xie Chen would take it first. But he would not touch the money, and would secretly put it in a corner of Zhao Jun's house at night, and then tell Wang Meilan.

In this case, Xie Chenguang had to collect the money for buying the TV, he also had to give the Zhao family money to buy a tape recorder.

Wang Meilan, who was scooping porridge with a spoon, was stunned. Zhao Youcai smiled and said to her, "What are you looking at? The child has no money to spend, hurry up and get him two."

Wang Meilan didn't think much about it. She quickly put down her bowl and reached into her pocket to take out a wad of money.

As the richest person in Yong'an, Wang Meilan always has one or two hundred yuan on her.

"Chen, I'll give you a hundred first." Wang Meilan said, and she quickly found ten big unity notes and handed them to Jie Chen, saying, "Spend them first."

Wang Meilan just thought that Jie Chen wanted some pocket money. In those days, especially in the mountains, there were no places with high consumption. A hundred yuan was enough for Jie Chen to spend for several months.

"Aunt." Seeing that Wang Meilan had misunderstood, Xie Chen hurriedly said, "I...I want to buy a radio."

"Why did you buy that thing?" Wang Meilan and Zhao Youcai asked in unison.

"I..." Xie Chen would not lie, but he had to bite the bullet and say, "I was thinking... I'm going to get married in two years, so won't I need something big at home?"

"You're getting married in two years, why are you buying it so early?" Wang Meilan said with a smile: "Your brother-in-law said there will be another wave next year. You don't even have a partner now, so you don't need to rush to buy it."

"Not so good!" Zhao Youcai glanced at Wang Meilan as he agreed, and said, "That thing is useless. It will just gather dust when you buy it home."

"Chen, the money is yours, but what does aunt mean? Wait until you are settled, then ask the girl what she means." Wang Meilan said to Jie Chen: "When your brother Jun got married, we didn't have these things.

But if you wait until next year or the year after to get married, then you can see. If you get engaged, maybe the girl’s family will have some requirements, some big things, right?”

The couple's words made Xie Chen speechless. What they said made sense, and Xie Chen agreed. But he wanted money, not to buy things for his own family!
"Listen to your aunt." At this time, Zhao Youcai added, "Your aunt knows a lot."

As soon as Zhao Youcai said this, Wang Meilan rolled her eyes at him.

Wang Meilan said, "Every generation is different. Back then, we were lucky to make two pairs of quilts. Is that possible now? Maybe in a few years, we will have to buy a car."

"Yeah!" Zhao Youcai said, "Maybe we have to buy a plane."

Wang Meilan couldn't help but curl her lips when she heard this, and then said unhappily: "So what? When my eldest grandson's time comes, if everyone wants to use a plane to pick up their daughter-in-law, I will buy it!"

"Go buy it, you have money." Zhao Youcai muttered and drank his porridge in silence.

Seeing the couple start to quarrel, Xie Chen quickly stood up and said, "Aunt, I'll listen to you. I won't buy it for now."

"Yes!" Wang Meilan raised her hand and said to Jie Chen, "Chen, let's talk about a wife next year. I'm thinking, after the New Year, Liu Tiezui will have recovered, and I'll go find her and ask her to go to Old Zheng's house to ask for you."

When Xie Chen heard Wang Meilan talking about this, he immediately smiled and said, "Okay, auntie, I'll be leaving now. Doctor Han will be there to give the dog an injection later, and I still have to look after the dog for him."

"Well, then go ahead. I won't see you off!" Since they were not strangers, Wang Meilan did not stand up to see them off.

As soon as Xie Chen left, Zhao Youcai said nothing and just focused on eating.

Xie Chen, who came from the Zhao family, was a little confused at this time.

He looked at the money in his hand and felt troubled. What should he do if he didn't have money to buy the tape recorder?
Xie Chen returned to his new house in a daze. As soon as he entered the yard, the little bear strolling in the yard rushed towards him.

These days, under the careful care of Mrs. Xie Sun, the little bear has almost recovered.

Xie Chen touched the little bear's head and took it into the house.

Of the five injured dogs, four were in the east room, and the only female dog, Heilong, was in the west room where Xiaoxiong was recuperating after giving birth.

When Xie Chen entered the room, Xie Sun was playing with the puppy.

There were four puppies at the time. Huang Gui took three away and left one for Zhao Jun.

This puppy is the biggest one among the four. Little Bear has been eating well recently, and the puppy has gotten enough nutrition, so it has grown into a plump and chubby boy.

After a heated debate between Zhao's father and son and voting by relatives and friends, Zhao Jun's Heipang defeated Zhao Youcai's Sanhei and became the name of the puppy.

"Mom, this is trouble!" Xie Chen came into the room and told her what happened after he came to the Zhao family. Xie Sun glared at him and said, "You kid, you can't even handle such a small matter."

Xie Chen's mouth twitched, and he also complained, "Mom, I told you to go, but you didn't go. I went, but I couldn't do it, and you blamed me again."

"Fuck..." Xie Sun shook her shoulders and hit Xie Chen in the chest with a stick, forcing Xie Chen to take two steps back, covering his chest with his hands.

Xie Sun glared at Li Chen, went out of the house and went to the old lady next door to borrow money.

Xie Sun has many faults, but she treats people sincerely. During the days she has lived in the Jiang family, she and the old lady have gotten along very well.

But after learning about Jie Sun's purpose, the old lady smiled and said, "I have left all my money with Zhao Jun. I can give it to you, but what will I say when I go there?"

"What should I do?" Xie Sun heard this and said in embarrassment, "Why don't I just not buy a TV?"

Hearing her say this, the old lady smiled without saying anything, then turned around and took out a small handkerchief from the kang cabinet.

The old lady opened her handkerchief and found more than 200 yuan inside. She threw the money and handkerchief onto the table and said to Xie Sun: "How much is this? Take a look. If you don't have money, can you make up for it?"

Xie Sun looked at Xie Chen, who took out the pocket money Wang Meilan had given him from his pocket, put it on the table and said, "Mom, I have a hundred here."

"How much did the tape recorder cost?" the old lady asked herself, and answered herself, "Less than 1100. If you have another 700, it will be enough."

"Where can we get these 700 yuan?" Xie Sun said in embarrassment, "We are not from this village, so we have nowhere to carry the money."

Xie Sun's words made the old lady laugh.

At this time, Xie Chen said to Xie Sunshi: "Mom, why don't you ask my uncle Li and my uncle Wang to buy it for you? I will return it to them in a few days."

"Don't ask them!" Xie Sun's neck stiffened and she said, "Don't ask them to borrow money!"

Xie Sun is still brooding over what happened yesterday.

Seeing that Sun was so insistent, Xie Chen smacked his lips and said, "Then I can only go find my elder brother Zhang."

Hearing Xie Chen's words, Xie Sun's eyes lit up, but she heard the old lady say, "Little one, your elder brother Zhang doesn't even know about buying things for the Zhao family, what will you say when you go there?"

At the same time at Zhang Yuanmin's home.

Zhang Yuanmin, who was recuperating on the kang, shouted to the outer room, "Don't pack up, hurry up and give the money to me, or they will leave soon!"

Yang Yufeng, who was washing dishes in the outer room, finished rinsing the last bowl, simply wiped her hands, went into the house, took the money, and rushed to Xie's house.

Their two homes were not far from each other, and Yang Yufeng arrived there in less than two minutes.

Seeing no one at Xie's house, Yang Yufeng went to Jiang's house next door.

When she came in, Xie Chen and the other two were discussing how to raise money. Seeing Yang Yufeng coming, the three were all stunned.

"Feng, why are you here?" the old lady asked. Yang Yufeng looked at Li Chen and said, "I want to ask you to do something for me."

"What's the matter, sister-in-law?" Xie Chen hurriedly stood up after hearing this.

"Please bring me a TV." Yang Yufeng said, and took out money from her pocket.

"Ah, that's it." Xie Chen took the money and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, I already knew about this. My Aunt Zhao has already told my Uncle Li and the others that he will give you one of his family's quotas."

"No, brother, what does sister-in-law mean?" Yang Yufeng pointed at the money in Jie Chen's hand and said, "Buy this TV. You don't have to give it to our family. Just give it directly to your brother Jun. After that, my aunt will give you the money to buy the TV. You can give it back to her."

When Yang Yufeng said this, Xie Chen looked at Xie Sunshi, and Xie Sunshi looked at the old lady. The old lady coughed lightly and said nothing.

Seeing that the three of them were silent, Yang Yufeng sighed and said, "Mother Jie, Xiaochen, my grandmother Jiang is here. She knows that my family was in financial difficulty before, and we really can't make ends meet.

It is all thanks to Brother Zhao Jun that my family is where they are today. Lingdang’s father and I thought that since we have caught up this time, we should buy him a big color TV.”

"Sister-in-law, um..." Xie Chen organized his words and said, "My uncle Li and his men bought the color TV for my brother Jun's house."

"Uncle Li..." Hearing Jie Chen say this, Yang Yufeng blinked twice.

At this moment, Xie Sun pointed at the money Yang Yufeng had just given to Xie Chen and said to Yang Yufeng, "Feng, um... someone has bought his TV, how about you lend us the money?"

"Huh?" Yang Yufeng was stunned. Their two families had been together for less than a year, but they had a deep friendship. Borrowing money was not a problem, but the Xie family was no worse than theirs, so how could they ask her to borrow money?
"Mother Jie." Yang Yufeng asked casually, "What do you need the money for?"

Xie Sun smiled and said, "I'm thinking of buying a tape recorder for Zhao Jun."

Yang Yufeng: “…”

At this time, the Zhao army was moving through the mountains and forests.

He planned to fight a battle, and he and Liu Jinyong split their troops into two groups. Zhao Jun led his men first and took a detour to the mountain.

Half an hour after he set out, Liu Jinyong led his men to sweep upwards. If they could scare the Siberian tiger into running upwards, it would fall into the ambush of Zhao's army.

As the Zhao army walked, they observed the terrain of the mountain and gathered their men together under Gangqiao'er.

He arranged two people to guard the southwest corner, and he led one person to ambush in the south direction.

If you want to set an ambush, you must find a hidden place.

Zhao Jun took Luo Guangbin and went to the place close to Gangqiaoerluotou.

"喯erloutou" is a Northeastern dialect, which means forehead.

Just like a person's forehead, there is a depression under the head of the Gangqiaoer, and the Zhao army was going to ambush there.

"Oh!"

Suddenly, a gunshot was heard from the foot of the mountain.

Luo Guangbin looked nervously towards the direction where the gunshot came from, but Zhao Jun continued on his way with a calm face.

"Brother Luo, let's go." Zhao Jun called Luo Guangbin and said, "Team Leader Liu and the others are watching Big Claw, so it's better to hit it with this shot. If we can't hit it, it will take several minutes for Big Claw to run to us."

Zhao Jun and Liu Jinyong, the two groups set out half an hour apart. Although Zhao Jun took a detour, it was still more than three miles from the place where Liu Jinyong met the tiger to the bottom of Gangqiaoerluotou.

Even if a tiger is very fast, it is impossible to reach this distance in an instant.

Therefore, the Zhao army had enough time to respond.

In the valley, Zhao Jun and Luo Guangbin both lay in ambush. Zhao Jun hid behind a big poplar tree, holding his gun in both hands, ready for battle.

After about three or four minutes, Zhao Jun and Luo Guangbin still didn't see the Siberian tiger.

Just then, a cold wind blew.

The branches above his head rustled and Zhao Jun felt something was wrong. When he opened his eyes again, he saw a tiger falling in front of a poplar tree, only three meters away from Zhao Jun.

"Oh my god!" Zhao Jun's heart trembled and he subconsciously raised his gun and fired.

"Snapped!"

I took a day off yesterday, and since there was a shortfall of 2,000 words in one day, I promised to make up for it with a chapter of 4,000 words.

In this case, there are two chapters of 4000 words left. I will make up one chapter tomorrow and one the day after tomorrow.
