The whole mountain is my hunting ground

Zhao Jingui's words made several people, including Zhao Jun, a little unbelievable.

In the Northeast, if you say you have seen a fox spirit or a yellow-skinned demon, many people will believe it, but if you say you have seen a tiger spirit, most people will think it is a bit far-fetched.

"Tiger... spirit?" Wei Xiaoguang stared at Zhao Jingui and asked, "Journey to the West?"

After the Gregorian New Year, many families in the forest areas under the Shanhe Forestry Bureau bought televisions, including Wei Xiaoguang's family.

Although he sees all kinds of monsters in "Journey to the West" every day, Wei Xiaoguang doesn't believe in them.

"It should be something blocking the road, right?" Zhao Jun expressed his opinion. He felt that the tiger spirit in the Hailang Forest Area should be similar to the black bear monsters, bear devils, and black tigers he had encountered before. They were all outliers in the tribe.

"It doesn't seem so." Zhao Jingui shook his head and said, "It is said that the big claw usually stays in the rotten stone pond at the top of Erniutou Mountain. Every day, it stands on the high rock. At night, its head is facing the moon. It is said that in the past two years, the tiger's head has become as big as a millstone!"

Zhao Jingui's words made Zhao Jun and the others look at each other in bewilderment. Wei Xiaoguang didn't like these monsters, so he said, "Okay, whether it's a tiger spirit or something else, we don't care. If it doesn't come, it has nothing to do with us. We'll just deal with this big black claw."

"Secretary Wei." At this time, Zhao Jun said to Wei Xiaoguang, "That big claw over there... let's call it a tiger spirit for now. It must be related to the big claw that jumps back and forth in your yard."

"Huh?" Wei Xiaoguang was startled, and then he heard Zhao Jun continue: "I feel like they may have fought each other."

Zhao Jun's words were based on facts. Last year, Yong'an was attacked by tigers for the first time. The Siberian tiger came from Laoye Ridge and tried to cross Yong'an to escape to Luosha. When the tiger came near Laoguitouzi Ridge, Yizier left his lair to chase it away.

This is the territorial awareness of the Siberian tiger!

Now the black tiger is idle and runs around in Shuguang Forest Farm every day. Zhao Jun feels that its unusual behavior is most likely related to the tiger spirit.

"Team Leader Zhao is right!" Zhao Jun finished speaking, and then he heard Zhao Jingui say, "We went to the area of ​​Da Niutou, and there were big claw footprints all over the mountains. Those big black claws must have been blocked every time."

"That's right!" Lin Xiangshun said after hearing this, "It wanted to go to Suifenhe, but was stopped by the tiger spirit."

The key point is that the two shameless men around Zhao Jun both called themselves captains. Moreover, when the Wei family father and son called them Captain Li and Captain Zhang, Li Baoyu and Zhang Yuanmin were quite happy.

"Just bullying the newbies?" After listening to Zhao Jun's words, Wei Xiaoguang summarized the behavior of those Siberian tigers.

People bully strangers, let alone animals?

"The same thing with the big black claw." At this time, Zhao Jingui also complained, "If people don't let it go, it won't go. It keeps going back and forth!"

"There must be something over there that attracted it." This was said by Lin Xiangshun. Lin Xiangshun said: "It is the time for big claws to mate right now. I think there is probably a tigress over there."

"That's unpredictable." Wei Xiaoguang echoed, then looked at Zhao Jun and asked, "Team Leader Zhao, you are an expert. Since you are here, please help us."

"Secretary Wei, you don't have to be polite." Zhao Jun answered without hesitation, "Since we are here, we will definitely do our best."

Zhao Jun got up from the kang and said, "Let's go out for a walk and take a look at the claw marks and stuff."

"Hey?" Wei Xiaoguang's face turned pale, and he quickly stood up to stop Zhao Jun, saying, "Team Leader Zhao, that's not what I meant. You just arrived, you should take a rest first."

"That's right!" Wei Chunlai also said, "We drove over a hundred miles here, so we have to take a break, right?"

"Secretary Wei, Team Leader Wei." Zhao Jun said, "You can't rest. Isn't it said that the big claw jumps twice a day? If it's gone in the morning, won't it have to come back in the evening?"

"This..." Wei Xiaoguang felt a little embarrassed at this moment. He wanted to get rid of the black tiger as soon as possible, but he also wanted to show his hospitality to his guests.

"Secretary Wei, we are all from the forest area, so we don't have to be polite." Zhao Jun saw Wei Xiaoguang's dilemma and said immediately: "Let's go out and see now. If we can do it, then we will do it. If not, then we will think of other ways. Right? Big claws are not like other things. If they hurt or harm people again, wouldn't that be bad?"

"Then, Team Leader Zhao, I won't say anything." Wei Xiaoguang held Zhao Jun's hand and said, "I'll go with you!"

"No need, Dad." Wei Chunlai hurriedly stopped him, "I have Director Zhao, and we can find a few security guards. Isn't that enough?"

"Yes." Zhao Jingui also advised Wei Xiaoguang, saying, "Secretary Wei, you should stay home."

"No!" Wei Xiaoguang said firmly: "I must go!"

Having said that, Wei Xiaoguang got off the kang.

It can be seen that Wei Xiaoguang is a very stubborn person, and neither Wei Chunlai nor Zhao Jingui can stop him.

Coming out of the inner room, Wei Xiaoguang told his wife and daughter-in-law to make sure the meal was ready, and then he accompanied Zhao Jun and others out.

As soon as the Zhao army left the house, the hunting dogs scattered in the yard ran towards them.

Zhao Jun looked around and said to Li Baoyu, "Baoyu, take the rope and tie up Huzi."

"Hey!" Li Baoyu agreed and took out a hemp rope from his bulging bag. Then Li Baoyu shouted "Hu Zi", and Hei Hu came over happily.

The dog was very smart. As soon as it saw Li Baoyu taking out the rope, it knew that its owner was going to assign it a job.

Sure enough, after Li Baoyu tied up the black tiger with a hemp rope, he handed the rope to Zhao Jun.

The Zhao army drove away the other hunting dogs and led Heihu out of the Wei family compound.

"Team Leader Zhao." After coming out of the yard, Zhao Jingui asked Zhao Jun, "Which way are we going?"

"We can go anywhere." Zhao Jun said, "But we have to go all the way. How did this big claw get into the family quarters these days? Whose house did it go to? We have to go all the way. After that, take me to the Niutou Mountain you mentioned to have a look."

After saying this, Zhao Jun added: "No need to go up the mountain, I can just feel around to see where it came from. Then, I'll go to our forest farm to take a look."

After hearing what Zhao Jun said, Zhao Jingui led the way for him. Accompanied by the Wei father and son, the group headed south first.

After leaving the family area, Zhao Jun looked at the mountain area over there, determined the location of Dadiutou Mountain, and listened to Wei Xiaoguang's brief introduction to the altitude, terrain, forest types and distribution of the mountain area over there.

Although that area does not belong to the Shuguang Forest Farm, the mountain was assigned to the Hailang Forest District in 1973. Otherwise, the Shuguang Forest Farm and the family quarters would only be located at the border of the two forest districts.

After a quick look at the mountain field over there, the group of people returned. The area around the family quarters had been cleared by the employees into private plots, and Zhao Jun could clearly see the footprints of the black tiger coming through the land.

The black tiger lowered its head and sniffed the footprints, and then did no other movement.

This big fat dog has a good nose for scent and it can smell that the big paw is far away from here.

Back home in the family quarters, Zhao Jingui patiently took Zhao Jun and followed the route that Black Tiger had taken to sneak into the family quarters in the past few days.

This was quite time-consuming. By the time we walked from the family quarters to the forest farm and returned to Wei Xiaoguang's home, it was already 2:30 in the afternoon.

After being away for nearly three hours, the meal at Wei Xiaoguang's home was almost ready.

There were chicken, fish, meat, and frogs on the table. Some were stewed, some were stir-fried, some were pan-fried, and some were deep-fried. Just as Wei Xiaoguang said, there were ten dishes in total.

When guests come, they definitely can't eat leftovers. But Wei Xiaoguang's family only has one big pot, and it's hard to prepare ten dishes in three hours.

Many of these ten dishes were made by Wei Xiaoguang's wife, Sun Meiyu, with the help of neighbors.

Wei Xiaoguang invited Zhao Jun and others to sit around the table, and then instructed Wei Chunlai to get some good wine.

"Secretary Wei." Zhao Jun said to Wei Xiaoguang: "I don't drink, and then..."

Zhao Jun said, and then he looked at Wang Qiang and the others, saying, "Uncle, don't drink too much, one jar per person, two or two and a half taels is enough."

"Hey!" Wang Qiang responded, and then asked Zhao Jun, "Nephew, shall we knock it today?"

"Let's give it a try!" Zhao Jun said, "Twenty years ago, my dad and my elder brother Zhou squatted on the big claws, let's do the same today."

It's dark at night and we can't surround the dogs, so we have to rely on people.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Hearing what Zhao Jun said, Zhao Jingui immediately said: "Team Leader Zhao, I will also organize people to go with you. We can't do it, let's take turns."

The way they squatted now was different from when Zhao Youcai did it. It was autumn when Zhao Youcai did it, but it was winter now. It was more than 30 degrees below zero at night, so who could squat for a while?

"Captain Zhao," Zhao Jun asked Zhao Jingui, "How many owl eyes are there in your security team?"

The so-called owl eyes mean that one can see things even at a distance at night.

These days, when the moon is bright at night and it is not cloudy, and you are not in the woods, you don't need a flashlight if you are walking at night in a village.

But if you want to look further ahead, it becomes difficult.

Some owl eyes are congenital, while others are related to daily dietary nutritional intake.

According to Zhao Jingui's previous plan, they would set an ambush this morning. If they failed to kill the black tiger, they would ambush again at night.

Therefore, Zhao Jingui counted the owl eyes under his command. When Zhao Jun asked this, he quickly gave an answer: "Add fifteen to me."

"Jun, this is not easy to deal with." After hearing what Zhao Jingui said, Lin Xiangshun said immediately: "The situation we are in today is different from that of my second uncle and his men. They were just guarding the cowshed, but we are guarding such a large forest farm. We can't defend it with just a few people."

There are fifteen people from Shuguang Forest Farm, plus five people from Zhao Jun. Although there are twenty people in total, there are three avenues in the forest farm, so these people have to be divided into three groups.

And we have to work in shifts. After all, it's so cold outside and no one can endure it all the time.

"If we don't fight like this, there's no other way." Zhao Jun frowned and said, "At night, it comes from the south, first to the forest farm, then to the family quarters. During the day, it comes from the north, and first arrives at the family quarters.

If we want to prevent it from harming the family quarters, we can only block it on the northern end of the land during the day. We saw that land today, and it was very clean. "

"Yes." Wang Qiang echoed Zhao Jun's words, saying, "It's too dangerous to be exposed."

"Then can we stay there at night?" Lin Xiangshun said, "We are too few in number. The big claws may come at any time at night. We will be frozen by then and may not be able to hand over the guns."

Watching the three people's discussion, Wei Xiaoguang, Wei Chunlai and Zhao Jingui couldn't get a word in. Wei Xiaoguang just silently poured wine for Wang Qiang and others.

Li Baoyu and Zhang Yuanmin didn't speak at all. Li Baoyu was slow to speak at first, but gradually, he found that something was wrong with Zhang Yuanmin next to him.

"Okay, let's try it tonight." When Zhao Jun said this, Wang Qiang and Lin Xiangshun had no other choice but to agree.

But when Zhao Jun finished speaking, Li Baoyu hurriedly asked Zhang Yuanmin: "Captain Zhang, I see you seem to be hesitant to speak? Have you thought of a good idea?"

"Haha." Zhang Yuanmin smiled and said, "The one who knows me best is Captain Li."

Zhao Jun, Wang Qiang, Lin Xiangshun: "..."

The Wei family father and son and Zhao Jingui were all confused. How did this get into a TV series?

"I wonder what Captain Zhang's brilliant idea is?" Li Baoyu asked. Zhang Yuanmin smiled and said, "I don't dare to accept your brilliant idea, but I have a plan that will surely make that big claw come back without a chance to return."

"Oh?" Li Baoyu raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise, "What's the plan?"

"Hehe..." Zhang Yuanmin looked at Li Baoyu with admiration, and then looked at Zhao Jun with helplessness. This conversation should have been between him and Zhao Jun, but his brother was uneducated.

"Brother." Zhao Jun spoke up at this time, and he asked Zhang Yuanmin, "If you have a plan, tell me now."

"That's right." Wang Qiang frowned and said, "It's so hard to say anything every time."

Zhang Yuanmin's mouth twitched, and he felt a tightness in his chest, but he had to finish the play, so he turned to Wei Xiaoguang and said, "Secretary Wei, today is the sixth day of the first lunar month. What are the customs here on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month?"

"Ah?" Wei Xiaoguang was stunned, not knowing why Zhang Yuanmin asked this. But he quickly came to his senses and said, "On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, we send lanterns and scatter lanterns."

Here on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, in addition to sending lanterns to deceased relatives at the graves, there is also a custom of scattering lanterns.

The so-called "scattering lanterns" is to crush the corn pith, mix it with sawdust and rice husks, and then add gasoline and kerosene and mix well.

After mixing it, they would light a pile of it about one meter apart on the road outside their homes. The burning fire would illuminate the way home for their deceased family members.

This is the case on every rural road on the fifteenth night of the first lunar month!

"Brother." At this time, Zhang Yuanmin said to Zhao Jun, "Wear warm clothes at night, find a room in the forest farm, and stay there steadily."

"What's the end?" Zhao Jun asked. Zhang Yuanmin said, "The big claw is coming. Don't worry about it. Just let it come."

After saying this to Zhao Jun, Zhang Yuanmin looked at Wei Xiaoguang and said, "Secretary Wei, organize some people to mix more materials for scattering lanterns and pile them around the family quarters. After that, for safety reasons, scatter them in the family quarters as you do every year during festivals."

"What's this for?" Wei Xiaoguang was confused, and then he heard Zhang Yuanmin continue to say: "Give our Zhao family those head dogs and arrange them to your northern home. Before the big claws enter the forest farm, our head dog will definitely speak.

Once the head dog starts barking, the helper dogs will follow suit, and the entire family quarters will know about it. After that, we will all go out and give those people some food. There will be fires inside and outside the family quarters. I don’t believe that big paw can get in!”

No one thought much of Zhang Yuanmin's previous words, but when he said the last sentence, everyone's eyes lit up.

Yes, the family quarters there was on fire, and Big Claws definitely wouldn’t dare to go in.

“Haha…” Seeing that no one was praising him, Zhang Yuanmin smiled to himself, and then said to Zhao Jun: “Brother, if you come out of the room in the forest farm at this time, won’t you be blocked by the big claws?”

"Ah..." After hearing what Zhang Yuanmin said, Zhao Jun felt that it was feasible. At this time, he wanted to praise Yuanmin, but he had no words in his mind.

"Captain Zhang, this is a brilliant plan!" Li Baoyu praised the Zhao army for Yuanmin, and Zhang Yuanmin smiled proudly and said, "This is like inviting someone into a jar and catching a turtle in the jar!"
