The whole mountain is my hunting ground.

Chapter 1280 Zhao Jun: I’ll block its door!

"No! No!" Seeing Liu Ermaizi carrying the big pine box down from the sled, Wang Meilan hurriedly stopped him, then looked at Zhou Chengguo and Xu Haifen and asked, "What are you two doing?"

Jin Xiaomei ran to the gate of the courtyard and stared at the four people with wide eyes.

Zhou Chengguo glanced at Jin Xiaomei. He didn't know this woman and didn't know whether he should say it in front of Jin Xiaomei.

"Old Zhou!" Xu Haifen pulled Zhou Chengguo and said, "That's Baoyu's mother!"

"Ah!" Zhou Chengguo hurriedly greeted Jin Xiaomei upon hearing that.

Then, Zhou Chengguo leaned on a crutch with one hand and pointed at the big pine box on the sled with the other, and said to Wang Meilan: "I have been getting along well with my brother Zhao Jun this year. He will get married after the Chinese New Year, and I will give him a gift of that much money. After that, I will think about buying something for my brother."

These days in Yong'an Forest District, no matter how close the relationship is, even if you are brothers, the maximum amount of gift money you can give is 20 yuan.

Otherwise, the villagers would be picky and say that they are raising the gift money for the people who do the work and squeezing others out.

"No!" Wang Meilan understood what Zhou Chengguo meant, but she refused without thinking, saying, "How can you spend so much money on this?"

"Auntie!" At this time, Xu Haifen said, "No matter how much money you spend, it's our token of appreciation."

Xu Haifen pointed at Zhou Chengguo and continued to say to Wang Meilan: "Look at my old Zhou. He specially came to the forest farm on crutches to buy this big color TV!"

"Yes, Aunt Zhao!" Liu Ermaizi also spoke up for Zhou Chengguo, saying, "Brother Zhou has been arranging this matter for several days. In order to deliver the large color TV to your house today, he didn't take the commuter bus this morning, but took my sled to get here."

After hearing what Xu Haifen and Liu Ermaizi said, Wang Meilan couldn't say no. She waved her hand at them and said, "Come in quickly. It's cold outside. Come in and warm up."

Wang Meilan also thought about it. Her family was going to buy a color TV anyway, and since Zhou Chengguo had given it to her with sincerity, she might as well accept it.

As for how much the TV cost, Wang Meilan thought she would find a chance to return the gift. As long as the two families kept interacting, there would always be a chance.

So, Wang Meilan accepted the gift.

Seeing that Wang Meilan no longer refused, Zhou Chengguo and Xu Haifen were also happy. Both the gift giver and the gift receiver were very happy.

But if this happens, Jin Xiaomei will not be happy.

What she was thinking was, Zhou Chengguo bought a big color TV for the Zhao family, so what should we do with our family?

Liu Ermaizi was walking quickly in front, carrying a pine box, and Wang Meilan trotted over to open the door for him.

Behind them were Zhou Chengguo and his wife. Zhou Chengguo, who was using crutches, could not walk fast and needed Xu Haifen to support him.

Finally, it was the bewildered Jin Xiaomei. She was a little confused and didn’t know what to do next.

After thinking about it, Jin Xiaomei turned around and ran to the village headquarters. She wanted to call the forest farm and discuss the matter with Li Dayong.

Liu Ermaizi carried a large pine wood box into the west room. At this time, Jie Chen and Xu Chunyan were both at Zhao's house.

After buying the donkey, Yang Yufeng went back to take care of Zhang Yuanmin, saying that she would come to Zhao's house for dinner in the evening.

Seeing people moving things into the house, Xie Chen went forward to help.

While carrying the box back to the west room door, Xie Chen asked Liu Ermaizi across from him, "What is this? It's so heavy?"

"A big color TV." Liu Ermaizi's answer stunned Jie Chen, and Xu Chunyan, who came out from the east room, was also a little confused.

After Wang Meilan invited Zhou Chengguo and Xu Haifen in, they sat down in the east room and Wang Meilan asked Xu Chunyan to prepare tea.

When Xu Chunyan entered the room carrying tea, she heard Wang Meilan thanking Zhou Chengguo and his wife.

After Xu Chunyan heard it, she finally understood what was going on.

She hurried out of the east room and went to the west room, calling Jie Chen to come out.

The two of them went out to the yard, and Xu Chunyan said to Xie Chen: "Xiao Chen, hurry up and drive the car, let's go!"

"What are you going to do?" Xie Chen asked. Xu Chunyan said, "Come to my house first, I'll get you some money. After that, go find your uncle Wang, and you two can go to the forest farm and buy everything back!"

"Hmm? Sister Lin, why are you in such a hurry?" Xie Chen said, "Why don't we go after we finish our meal?"

"Why are you still eating?" Xu Chunyan looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she whispered to Jie Chen, "Zhou Chengguo bought a large color TV for your brother Jun. The Li family can't afford it, so they must think of buying something else."

"Ah..." Xie Chen suddenly realized and said, "That's not the case!"

"That's why I asked you to go quickly!" Xu Chunyan said, "Just buy the things and it will be over. Otherwise, it will be so annoying if we quarrel again."

"Okay, Sister Lin, I'll listen to you!" Xie Chen gave Xu Chunyan a thumbs up. As soon as a smile appeared on Xu Chunyan's face, she heard a "woof" behind her.

Xu Chunyan was startled and jumped to the side. When she turned around, she saw Qing Lao Hu rushing out of the doghouse, pulling the chain and roaring at her: "Woof! Woof! Woof!"

"Tiger! Tiger!" Xie Chen hurriedly scolded Qing Lao Hu. Qing Lao Hu calmed down a little, but stared at Xu Chunyan.

"What are you doing?" Xu Chunyan stared at Qinghu and shouted, "Don't you recognize me? You bit my own family! You scared me so much, what are you doing?"

The green tiger flicked its tail, turned around and went back to the doghouse.

After driving Qing Lao Hu away, Xu Chunyan urged Jie Chen, "Go, Xiao Chen, let's go!"

The two got in the car and went to the Lin family.

When they arrived at Lin's house, Xie Chen was waiting outside the house while Xu Chunyan went in to get the money. She took out 2,950 yuan and gave it to Xie Chen.

Of the money, eighteen thousand was used to buy a refrigerator for the Zhao family, and the rest was used to buy a color TV for her family.

Xie Chen took the money and drove home to buy a TV for himself and a tape recorder for Zhao Jun. Then, Xie Chen drove to Wang's house.

When I arrived at the door of Wang's house, I saw Wang Qiang carrying little Wang Xue out of the house, and Zhao Ling carrying a basket behind them.

"Uncle Wang, Uncle Wang." Xie Chen asked the two men, "What are you doing?"

"Didn't you see it?" Wang Qiang raised his hand and pointed in the direction of Zhao Jun's house. Xie Chen turned around and saw wisps of black smoke floating in the air.

Xie Chen suddenly realized what had happened, and then told Wang Qiang and Zhao Ling what had just happened. The two also agreed that they should leave now.

So, when Jin Xiaomei came out of the military camp, Jie Chen and Wang Qiang had already left by car.

Jin Xiaomei's call just now went through, but the dispatcher said that Team Leader Li was in a meeting.

Because of the two tigers, except for the production workshop, all other teams in Yong'an Forest Farm are very busy.

Even busier were the two tiger-hunting teams. Zhao Jun, with Liu Jinyong and eight others, chased after Yizi'er all the way.

One ear was heading straight to the northwest, almost without stopping. In this case, it would be a bit of a pipe dream for people to catch up with it.

The other team, led by Zhao Youcai and Li Chunming, consisted of sixteen people and started tracking from the 35th forest squad.

Li Chunming did not come alone today. The people who came last time also came this time.

These people were experienced, so they divided into several groups and swept and searched along the way, and they found the black tiger's trail clearly.

But so far, the footprints they saw were left the day before yesterday.

So, Zhao Youcai led the team along the traces left by the black tiger and advanced all the way to the southeast.

One team went northwest, the other went southeast, the two directions were completely opposite.

……

Just after eleven o'clock, the Liberation Army truck drove into the forest farm. Li Ruhai, the gate guard, stepped forward to "interrogate" them and then let the two enter the forest farm.

The car drove directly to the logistics group. Wang Qiang and Jie Chen got off the car and walked into the logistics group.

All the forestry workers were basically from Yong'an Four Villages. There were not many people in the surrounding villages who didn't know Young Master Wang.

In particular, this Second Young Master Wang is the elder of their team leader.

Hearing that Wang Qiang had arrived, Zhou Jianjun hurried out of the office.

It was almost noon, and Wang Qiang didn't waste any time and just took out stacks of money from his pocket.

There are five color TV sets and one each of the other three household appliances. Of the five color TV sets, two belong to Li's family, and one each to Wang, Lin, and Jie's families.

The Li family originally wanted to buy three, but now they don't need to. They will buy two, keep one for themselves, and give the other to Li Baoyu, who is leaving the family.

Xie Chen came out in a hurry and did not dare to ask Jin Xiaomei for money. The money for the two TVs was paid by Wang Qiang.

Pay the money, get the invoice, pick up the goods, and load the big wooden boxes into the car one by one.

After finishing the work, Wang Qiang and Jie Chen drove to the office building.

They waited for a while, and as the lunch break bell rang, employees came out of the office building one after another.

When Wang Qiang saw Li Dayong, he got out of the car.

Seeing Wang Qiang coming, Li Dayong was stunned, then ran over and asked, "Have you bought everything?"

After saying that, Li Dayong walked to the trunk without waiting for Wang Qiang to answer. Looking at the big boxes inside, Li Dayong smiled.

But at this moment, Wang Qiang came up to Li Dayong and whispered, "Brother Li, something went wrong."

"Huh?" Li Dayong was startled and asked, "What's going on?"

"Well..." Wang Qiang organized his words in his mind and said, "Don't you want three color TVs at home? That's it, I bought two for you."

"Ah? What's going on?" Li Dayong asked, "Aren't there so many in the logistics warehouse? How can there not be enough to sell?"

"What happened?" Wang Qiang said, "Early this morning, Zhou Chengguo and his wife went to my sister's house."

"Zhou Chengguo?" Li Dayong frowned slightly and asked, "Is his leg healed?"

"He said he went there on crutches." Wang Qiang said.

"On crutches?" Li Dayong was more and more surprised and asked, "What did he do when he went home?"

Wang Qiang stole a glance at Li Dayong, then whispered, "He bought a TV for my eldest nephew."

"What?" Li Dayong's eyes widened and his head was buzzing.

At this time, Wang Qiang pointed at the trunk and added: "So... I will buy you two first, and then Brother Li, you see..."

Upon hearing this, Li Dayong did not respond to Wang Qiang's words, but walked to the trunk of the car, leaned over the guardrail and looked inside.

After just one look, Li Dayong turned back and asked Wang Qiang, "Did you buy the radio and other things?"

"Ah!" Wang Qiang nodded, and then he heard Li Dayong ask him: "What about my family?"

Wang Qiang smacked his lips and said, "Brother Li, isn't it time for me to ask you this? Are you buying another TV?"

"Qiangzi!" Li Dayong said with a twitch of his lips, "I can buy two for my elder brother and Xiaojun, but the key is who are you buying so many for!"

In the past, Wang Meilan always said that if there were two TVs at home, one would be placed in their room and one in the room of Zhao Jun and Ma Ling.

If we buy one more, can’t we just give it to Zhao Hong and Zhao Na?

Seeing Wang Qiang didn't say anything, Li Dayong sighed softly, then waved at the two of them and said, "Let's go to the cafeteria to eat!"

As he spoke, Li Dayong sighed again and said, "This is so annoying!"

Wang Qiang and Jie Chen looked at each other, then followed Li Dayong to the cafeteria for a meal.

While they were eating cabbage stewed with frozen tofu in the cafeteria, Zhao Youcai, Yan Shugang and others also gathered together to eat.

Zhao Baotou came out in a hurry today. He didn't drink the sugar water and didn't bring any pancakes.

What they had were bald biscuits bought from the forest farm store.

After eating and drinking, the group continued on their journey. Zhao Youcai and the four security guards from the bureau each led a group. After discovering the whereabouts of Black Tiger again, everyone gathered together.

"Master Zhao." Li Chunming said to Zhao Youcai, "Looking at the footprints, I think the tiger has been gone for a day."

Zhao Youcai looked up in the direction where the black tiger left, and he didn't say anything.

At this time, Yan Shugang asked Li Chunming: "Chief Li, what should we do now?"

Li Chunming looked at Zhao Youcai and said, "Master Zhao, do you think this will work? Let Director Yan and the others go back first, and then the five of us will continue to track them down and chase them!"

"Okay!" Zhao Youcai nodded and said, "That's 104. I know an old mountain dog who has a shack on top of it. Let's chase him until dark, stay overnight at his place, and then continue chasing him tomorrow morning."

After hearing what Zhao Youcai said, Lin Xiangshun, who came with him, wanted to speak. He was a little worried about Zhao Youcai.

Lin Xiangshun thought that it was not right for Zhao Youcai to do this. You are a cook and this is not your job. Why are you working so hard?

Even if I kill a tiger, how much money can I give you? You are lying on the ice and snow, and it has only been a few days since the last incident.

But before Lin Xiangshun could say anything, Li Chunming said, "Master Zhao, if you say so, we can find out the new trace at noon tomorrow."

"Yes!" Zhao Youcai nodded heavily and said, "I estimate that there is an 80% chance that it will head for the big hill at the border between the two provinces. Just follow me. We can at least block it three times before it crosses the border!"

Li Chunming and the other four security officers from the Forestry Bureau had worked in the mountains before and had a lot of hunting experience.

During the previous tiger hunting trip, the four men cooperated well with Zhao Youcai, had witnessed Zhao Baotou's abilities, and believed what Zhao Youcai said.

When Zhao Youcai said this, they really believed it!
So everyone split into two groups. Zhao Youcai and his group of five continued to track the black tiger, while Yan Shugang took the others down the mountain and left.

At the same time, Zhao Jun, who led the team to chase the 54th Forest Squad, also stopped.

"Let's not chase him away, team leader. Let's go back!" As soon as Zhao Jun said this, Liu Jinyong said anxiously, "Zhao Jun, what should we do if we don't chase him away? Will this big claw harm people again?"

"We can't catch up with it now." Zhao Jun said, "Let's go back and have a good rest for the night. We will block it again tomorrow."

"Forget it." Liu Jinyong said, "We can't catch up with it even if we try so hard, so where can we stop it?"

"Laoguitouziling!" Zhao Jun gave a firm answer and said to everyone, "It was chased out by the tiger. Now it is heading northwest. It wants to go home!"

After hearing what Zhao Jun said, everyone was skeptical. Then they heard Zhao Jun continue, "Let it go on its own. I will block it at its doorstep tomorrow!"
