The whole mountain is my hunting ground

Zhao Jun drove a jeep carrying Zhou Jianjun, while Li Baoyu drove a Jiefang carrying gasoline, and they went down the mountain one after another and returned to Yong'antun.

Zhao Jun did not send Zhou Jianjun back because Zhou Jianjun's bicycle was still at Zhao's house.

So let's go back to Yong'an first, and when the Zhao family helps out, we'll send Zhou Jianjun and his car back along the way.

After entering the village, he did not rush home, but went to the Zhao family's new house, unloaded the large barrels of gasoline and placed them in the warehouse.

So much gasoline, if it catches fire, it's very dangerous. In the new house, the warehouses are all tiled, and as long as the windows and doors are closed, there is no need to worry about firecrackers and double-kick firecrackers.

After getting the gasoline, the three of them drove to Zhao's house. When they arrived home, the water in the pot outside the Zhao's house was still boiling.

Seeing Zhao Jun, Zhou Jianjun and Li Baoyu enter the room, Wang Meilan hurriedly put dumplings into the pot.

Dumplings stuffed with cabbage and pork, served with homemade sausages, boiled pork skin jelly, fried small river fish, and mixed cold dishes.

Even for breakfast, Wang Meilan had chosen four dishes. One reason was that her son-in-law was coming, and the other was that her son was going out today.

During the Chinese New Year, Zhao Jun had to travel far to Shuguang Forest Area to hunt tigers, which made Wang Meilan feel very unhappy.

Zhao Youcai also felt bad, but his mood was completely different from Wang Meilan's.

"Hey? Baoyu!" Seeing that Li Baoyu was about to push the door and leave, Wang Meilan, who was cooking dumplings in front of the stove, called out to him, "Where are you going?"

"Auntie, I'm going home to eat." Li Baoyu said so. Wang Meilan hurriedly grabbed Li Baoyu and said, "You can eat here. I've already brought your share. What are you going back for?"

He ate at Zhao's house every day, so this meal was not a big deal, so Li Baoyu's behavior was a little strange. But at this time, Zhao Jun came out of the house, and he called him, and Li Baoyu followed Zhao Jun back to the house.

Zhao Youcai was not very happy during the meal. After dinner, he sat on the kang and smoked. Zhou Jianjun held the teacup in one hand and a Shilin cigarette in the other, chatting with his father-in-law with a smile.

Li Baoyu went home to pack his things, while Zhao Jun went to Wang Qiang's house.

Normally, if he set off a firecracker, Wang Qiang would definitely come. But this time it was Chinese New Year, and there were firecrackers going off all the time in the village, so it was impossible for Wang Qiang to come just by hearing the noise.

When Li Baoyu entered the house, Jin Xiaomei, who was washing dishes in the outer room, asked, "Have you finished your meal at your aunt's house?"

"We're done, Mom." Li Baoyu said as he walked towards the west room. As he walked, he said, "I'll pack up and leave."

When Li Baoyu entered the room, Li Ruhai was sitting on the kang, with his back against the kang cabinet, reading a picture book.

Seeing Li Baoyu coming in, Li Ruhai was about to talk to him, but Li Baoyu glared at him and shouted, "Get up!"

"Hmm?" Li Ruhai subconsciously raised his body forward. Li Baoyu reached out and pushed him, then opened the cabinet door and took out the shoulder bag he carried when he went up the mountain.

With Li Ruhai rolling his eyes, Li Baoyu took out a pair of leggings from his bag, then sat on the edge of the kang and started to tie them.

As I said, today is only the sixth day of the New Year, and my own son is going up the mountain to hunt tigers. Every mother would feel bad.

"Baoyu." Jin Xiaomei came to the west room and reminded Li Baoyu again, "You must be careful over there."

After saying this, Jin Xiaomei asked again: "Who is going today? Is your uncle going?"

"He must go." Li Baoyu said, "Brother Shunzi should go too."

"Shunzi is going too?" Li Baoyu's words were heard by Li Dayong who was pulling Li Xiaoqiao over.

"Yeah." Li Baoyu responded, and Jin Xiaomei said, "If he wants to go, let him go. You have more people to look after him."

The moment Li Baoyu finished putting on his leg wraps and stood up, the other four people's eyes were instantly focused on him.

At this time, Li Baoyu took down the semi-automatic gun from the wall, slung the gun over his shoulder, and then opened the drawer.

In the drawer, there was a magazine loaded with bullets, which was loaded by Li Dayong before.

"Dad!" Li Baoyu turned around, holding the magazine and said to Li Dayong, "You can't load the bullets so early. If you wait too long, the spring will be damaged."

When Li Baoyu called him "Dad", Li Dayong raised his eyes and waited for Li Baoyu to continue. But when Li Baoyu finished speaking, Li Dayong's face had turned gloomy. If Li Baoyu was not about to go out, Li Dayong would have beaten him up.

"Cough." Seeing that Li Dayong looked unhappy, Li Baoyu coughed lightly and said, "Dad, well, I'm going to the other courtyard."

Li Dayong didn't say anything, but just glared at Li Baoyu, and Jin Xiaomei said, "You go, we'll go too after you're done."

When Li Baoyu arrived at Zhao's house, Wang Qiang, Lin Xiangshun and Zhang Yuanmin were all there.

Moreover, the three of them were sitting on the edge of the kang in the west room and putting on their leg braces.

"Hey, Brother Zhang." Li Baoyu saw Zhang Yuanmin also wearing leg wraps, and immediately asked, "Why, are you going with us?"

"Ah!" Zhang Yuanmin looked up at Li Baoyu and said, "It's such a big deal, how can I be left out?"

When Zhao Jun went to look for Wang Qiang, he ran into Zhang Yuanmin who was chatting with someone on the side of the road. Zhang Yuanmin asked Zhao Jun what he was doing so early in the morning, and when Zhao Jun told him what was going on, Zhang Yuanmin insisted on going with him.

"No?" Li Baoyu asked Zhang Yuanmin again, "You haven't recovered yet. You can't run or fight. What are you going to do?"

"It doesn't matter whether I can fight or not." Zhang Yuanmin glanced at Li Baoyu, then smiled and said, "I have this brain, which is enough for me to go anywhere."

At this point, Zhang Yuanmin stretched out his right hand and said, "Last time I went to Little Redwood, didn't I have to follow you?"

After hearing what Zhang Yuanmin said, Li Baoyu kept silent. But Li Baoyu didn't say anything, and Zhang Yuanmin didn't finish yet. He just smiled and said, "What we lack is a brain like mine, right?"

"What are you talking about?" Wang Qiang looked up at Zhang Yuanmin and said, "I think you have a head that deserves a beating."

"Hahaha..." Wang Qiang's words made everyone laugh, including Zhang Yuanmin. Only Zhao Youcai, who was sitting on the kang by the window, didn't laugh. Not only did he not laugh, he also rolled his eyes at the people wearing leggings.

After everyone had packed up, they each put on a bag and carried a semi-automatic rifle.

Zhao Jun, Wang Qiang, Lin Xiangshun, Zhang Yuanmin and Li Baoyu, each with a semi-automatic rifle and twenty rounds of bullets, walked out of the Zhao family in a very imposing manner.

The Zhao family's dog gang had not been up the mountain for more than ten days. When they saw their master dressed up for going up the mountain with a gun on his back and leggings on, the hunting dogs became more excited than each other. They jumped back and forth, pulling at the chains and howling.

The most excited one among them was the little bear, followed by the green tiger.

The little bear hadn't been to the mountain for a long time, and now he was trembling with excitement.

But because it had not been in battle for a long time, the Zhao army did not dare to lead it.

As for Green Tiger, Zhao Jun didn't want to lead him either. Not only had this old dog been away from battle for a long time, but his physical fitness was also not as good as those young hunting dogs.

It would be fine if they wanted to fight other animals, but knowing that they would fight the Black Tiger today, how could the Zhao army bring them with them?

Seeing Zhao Jun and others untying the chains of Black Tiger, Yellow Dragon, Flower Dragon and other dogs, and watching their companions running out of the yard one by one, Little Bear and Green Tiger became so anxious that their eyes turned red.

Zhao Jun did not try to comfort them. Although hunting dogs understood human nature, their thinking was simple and they did not understand that going out today would be dangerous.

At this time, the little bear and the green tiger just wanted to get out. Even if Zhao Jun went over to comfort them, they would not understand.

The hunting dogs, freed from their chains, ran out of the yard. They sniffed everywhere, raised their legs, or squatted down to urinate to mark their territory.

Wang Qiang and Lin Xiangshun each dragged two large sacks out of the warehouse and left the yard.

The sacks were filled with armor. When they were dumped outside the yard, some hunting dogs came over consciously.

The hunting dogs are smart. When they see their masters carrying guns and wearing leggings, they know they are going to go up the mountain today. When they see the armor, they also know that it must be worn.

Of course, dogs don't know that this armor can protect themselves, they just know that they can't beat their masters. Instead of getting slapped by their masters and then putting it on, they might as well cooperate with their masters and put it on.

Several people put armor on the dogs outside the yard, not inside the yard, for fear that the little bear and the green tiger would see them.

But the two dogs, holding their chains, stretched their necks, and looked out of the yard, wagging their tails.

Bald Tail didn't understand what was going on, so he went up to the green tiger and looked out like the green tiger.

But it happened to be in front of Qing Hu's eyes, blocking Qing Hu's sight.

"Woof!" The green tiger rushed over and opened its mouth to bite. Although it couldn't bite the bald tail because of the chain, it scared the bald tail back into its den.

At this time, Zhao Youcai, who was leaning against the window in the west room of the Zhao family, finally came downstairs.

After he got off the kang, he put on his shoes, put on his cotton jacket and walked out.

When he came out, the Zhao family's gang had already boarded the car.

Three black, three flowers, five dragons, eleven hunting dogs got on the car very skillfully. A bundle of bean stalks had been thrown into the back trunk of the Jiefang car in advance. After the hunting dogs got on the car, they each found a place to lie down.

"Brother-in-law!" Zhao Jun called Zhou Jianjun and said, "I'll throw your bicycle in the back. When we're done, let's get on and get ready to go."

After hearing Zhao Jun say that they were about to set off, Wang Meilan and others began another round of instructions.

After the people seeing him off gave him some instructions, Zhou Jianjun's bicycle was also put away.

Then, Zhao Jun got on the jeep and took Wang Qiang, Zhang Yuanmin and Zhou Jianjun with him.

Li Baoyu drove the Liberation truck, with Lin Xiangshun sitting on the passenger seat to escort him.

As everyone watched, the two cars headed west.

In the yard, the cries of the little bear and the green tiger have changed.

The little bear was circling in front of the doghouse, making grunting sounds, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

The green tiger barked "woof woof", and the old dog who had just recovered from his injury still barked loudly, but this time his barking was full of impatience, which scared the bald-tailed dog in the nearby kennel so much that he didn't dare to come out.

When everyone turned around and walked into the yard, Qing Lao Hu fell down and lay on the ground motionless.

"Oh my God." Zhao Youcai screamed and jumped in front of the green tiger in a few steps.

"Tiger! You..." Zhao Youcai had just squatted down when the green tiger raised its head and stood up. After standing up, it dived into the doghouse.

The old dog wanted to show off his temper to Wang Meilan, hoping that Wang Meilan would be soft-hearted and call Zhao Jun back so that it could follow him. But when he saw that the person coming was Zhao Youcai, Qing Lao Hu gave up.

"What's the matter?" Others also came over, but they didn't run as fast as Zhao Youcai.

"Tiger! Tiger!" Wang Meilan called out twice, and the green tiger really came out. It came in front of Wang Meilan and licked Wang Meilan's hand with its tongue.

Wang Meilan, who has a mysophobia, didn't like this kind of intimacy. She held Qing Lao Hu's chin with one hand and touched the old dog's neck with the other hand, and asked, "Tiger, what's wrong with you?"

Qing Lao Hu turned his head to avoid the hand extended by Zhao Youcai and looked at Wang Meilan eagerly.

"Tiger, you can't go." Wang Meilan said to Qing Lao Hu, "You've only been here for two days, you should take some time to recover."

Green Tiger understood Wang Meilan's words. After hearing it, its four legs went limp and it lay directly in front of Wang Meilan's feet. Then it opened its mouth and held Wang Meilan's trouser leg, as if to say, "I won't get up unless you let me go."

Everyone laughed when they saw the old dog cheating.

Wang Meilan was also happy. She pulled her trouser legs and said to Qing Lao Hu, "It's useless for you to bite me. They've all left."

After hearing what Wang Meilan said, Qing Lao Hu opened her trouser legs, but still lay on the ground without getting up.

At this moment, Li Dayong gently nudged Zhao Youcai who was in front of him.

These two brothers have such a tacit understanding. Without saying a word or even exchanging glances, Zhao Youcai understood instantly.

"What should I do with this dog?" Zhao Youcai said, "How about I take it out for a walk?"

"You better be quiet!" Wang Meilan turned around, glared at Zhao Youcai and said, "Where are you going to hang out during the New Year?"

"Nandadi, Dongdagou and so on." Zhao Youcai said casually: "We won't go far, just take the tiger for a stroll."

Wang Meilan didn't say a word after hearing what Zhao Youcai said. Seeing that Wang Meilan finally acquiesced, Zhao Youcai was overjoyed and reached out to untie the leather band around Qing Lao Hu's neck, saying, "Come on, Lao Hu, I'll take you for a walk."

As soon as he said this, the green tiger stood up instantly, turned around and went back into its den.

Zhao Youcai stopped in mid-air and heard Wang Meilan's voice: "Go into the house quickly, it won't go with you."

Zhao Youcai: “…”

…

The jeep and the Jiefang truck arrived at Yongshengtun and dropped Zhou Jianjun and his bicycle off. After giving some instructions, the Zhao Jiabang set out on the mountain road to the Shuguang Forest Farm.

At this moment, Shuguang Forest Farm, more than 150 miles away from Yong'antun.

Shuguang Forest Farm is not big and can produce three to four thousand cubic meters of timber a year.

The forest farm has more than 80 employees, which is not even half the size of Yong'an Forest Farm.

Because the forest farm is small, just like the Little Redwood Forest Farm, the forest farm and the family area are connected.

But no matter how few people there are, there are more than a hundred households and seven or eight hundred people in the family quarters.

During this New Year's Day, the forest farm family quarters were completely silent, without even a single sound of firecrackers.

Not only was there no sound of firecrackers, there was not a single person on the roads in the family quarters, and the doors of every household were still closed.

This is indeed not normal for a gathering place with hundreds of households.

Suddenly, all the dogs in the family area became agitated and barked at the top of their lungs.

Next came the old cow, then the horse, then poultry such as chickens, ducks, geese, and finally the goat.

There is no office building in Xiaolin Farm, just a row of bungalows.

The door of a room close to the forest farm gate was suddenly pushed open from the inside, and then a big man came out with a gun in both hands, followed by more than 30 people, all of whom were holding guns.

But before they could even leave the forest farm gate, the sounds of barking dogs and mooing cows in the family area disappeared without a trace in an instant!
