Chapter 1342: Beasts in the Forest
Since entering the shack, the three of them had been busy talking. It was only then that Kong Fanrong invited Xing San and Zhao Jun to sit down.
Xing San and Zhao Jun sat down on the edge of the kang. Kong Fanrong took the small basket and the pipe pot for the pipe and said to Xing San, "Want a pot?"
Nowadays, not every family has cigarette paper, so some people still smoke pipes.
"Come, take mine." Xing San took out half a box of golden gourds from his pocket. Under Kong Fanrong's astonished gaze, Xing San took out two cigarettes and gave one to Kong Fanrong.
After taking a puff of cigarette, Kong Fanrong said to Zhao Jun: "Man, can you really take me back?"
"Uncle, this... hehe." Zhao Jun laughed and said, "When we men talk, our spit is our bond. We won't even talk about the relationship between you and my uncle.
We are all mountain hikers. If we see someone in trouble in the mountains, how can we just stand by and do nothing to help them? "
Hearing what Zhao Jun said, Kong Fanrong nodded repeatedly.
"What are you doing?" Xing San looked at Kong Fanrong unhappily and said, "Look at your little tricks. Who are you trying to test here?"
"No, no." Kong Fanrong waved his hands repeatedly and said, "I don't want to cause trouble to Mr. Zhao."
There are many kinds of people in the world. Some are simple-minded, while others are suspicious by nature.
"Okay, uncle." Zhao Jun said to Kong Fanrong, "I've already told you, I will definitely take you home."
An old man in his sixties was injured in the mountains. If Zhao Jun did nothing about it, he would not be able to get over it.
"That's fine." Kong Fanrong smiled and said, "Then man, I have something good to tell you."
"You can say it if you want to, but you can't just say shit." Xing San was a little angry. If he had known that Lao Deng would be like this, he shouldn't have given him a cigarette.
"I'm not telling you." Kong Fanrong rolled his eyes at Xing San, then said to Zhao Jun, "Man, I know a blind bear, go kill him."
"Blind Bear Warehouse?" After hearing what Kong Fanrong said, Zhao Jun asked, "Ground Warehouse?"
"Yeah." Kong Fanrong said, "The dicangzi is where Big Bear Ba lives."
"How many kilograms does Xiong Ba weigh?" Zhao Jun asked. Kong Fanrong held the cigarette between his fingers and said, "Not that big, about 400 to 500 kilograms."
"Female?" Zhao Jun frowned. If it was a black bear weighing 400-500 kilograms, it would be a big one. But among brown bears, 400-500 kilograms would be considered small.
A brown bear weighing four or five hundred kilograms is either a female or an immature one.
"Yeah." Kong Fanrong nodded, confirming Zhao Jun's speculation, and said, "Mother."
"Don't beat a female." Zhao Jun shook his head and said, "Uncle, a bear cub will be born before the twelfth lunar month. If you kill it now and cut it open, the blood from the cub will spurt out... It's unbearable to watch."
At this point, Zhao Jun shook his head and said, "If you don't know, then it's fine. But if you know, you can't kill me."
"No, man." Kong Fanrong said, "It's been more than a month since it gave birth."
"Ah?" Zhao Jun was stunned when he heard that.
Bears, whether brown bears or black bears, give birth during hibernation and use tree barns as delivery rooms.
Generally, bears give birth during the twelfth month of each year.
But there are exceptions. For example, the little black bear in Zhao Jun's family was born prematurely.
At this time, Kong Fanrong said: "It was just after the first snowfall. I went up the mountain and saw the bear coming up from the hill.
I didn't dare to follow him at that time, and it was not until the next day that I tiptoed over. I saw the footprints going into the warehouse, and I was far away and didn't dare to go forward.
Bears only go into the barn after the first snow falls. Bears that first enter the barn don't sleep well, so Kong Fanrong was right not to move forward.
"It took about half a month." Kong Fanrong continued, "I went there again and saw that the door of the warehouse was covered with frost all around. Then I heard some noises coming from inside."
"Ah..." After hearing what Kong Fanrong said, Zhao Jun nodded slightly and said, "So, the bear cub may not open his eyes."
It takes about five to six weeks for a bear to open its eyes from birth.
At this time, the bears grow very fast. For example, the little black bear in Zhao Jun's family weighs fifteen or sixteen kilograms.
If it were a brown bear that big, it would have to weigh more than 20 kilograms.
"My man, you have a gun and a dog, go and dig out the warehouse." Kong Fanrong said to Zhao Jun, "Kill the big blind bear and sell the little blind bear."
The old man was very calculating. He had to dig out the barn too early because he had to find a way to feed the little brown bear. Now that the little brown bear has grown up, has teeth, and can eat omnivorous food, he wants to dig out the barn.
Zhao Jun didn't say anything after hearing what Kong Fanrong said. Kong Fanrong continued, "If you say yes, then I'll ask your elder brother to go with you, and you two can dig out the warehouse."
Zhao Jun smiled and refused, "Uncle, I changed jobs recently. I have a lot of work to do in class, so I won't go."
Zhao Jun's words were just to deceive Kong Fanrong, but he said this as a polite refusal.
The reason why Zhao Jun declined was that the old man was too calculating and had too many schemes in his mind.
If Kong Fanrong only provided the location of the bear warehouse to Zhao Jun, then according to the rules, he would not get much. Zhao Jun could just give him 100 for the bear gall worth 1,000. If he gave him 200, Zhao Jun would be very kind.
But Kong Fanrong wanted his son to take Zhao Jun with him, and the old man clearly said that Zhao Jun and his son should dig out the warehouse. In this way, the Kong family would get at least half.
Kong Fanrong wanted to make money and had some calculations in mind, which was fine. But Zhao Jun thought that he was not the same kind of person as this old man. If he went up the mountain with Kong Fanrong's son, he would not be able to achieve what the old generation said, "people are of the same mind, horses are of the same harness", so it would be better for this Xiong Cangzi not to be stingy.
Furthermore, Kong Fanrong's description of killing his mother and selling his son made the Zhao army feel uncomfortable.
Since his rebirth, Zhao Jun has fought bears with cubs, and more than once.
But those were all encounter battles, and the fighting had already started, so we had to fight.
But if Zhao Jun knew that the mother and cub brown bear were in the warehouse, he would not want to go and dig them out.
Kong Fanrong didn't expect Zhao Jun to refuse. He looked at Zhao Jun in surprise and said, "My man, one big and one small, kill the big one and sell the small one directly. That's a lot of money."
"Uncle, it's not about money." Zhao Jun smiled and said, "I've been transferred to the security department now, and I really can't get away from work."
"Guard?" Kong Fanrong frowned, but still tried to persuade Zhao Jun, "Aren't guards supposed to work in shifts? You two can go sometime soon if you're free."
Although Kong Fanrong was good at calculation, he also knew what money he could make and what money he couldn't make. His son could also run in the mountains, but he had never weighed a bear, let alone a big brown bear weighing four or five hundred kilograms.
"Uncle, I'm just a small boss now." Zhao Jun declined again and said, "I really can't leave."
After being rejected by Zhao Jun repeatedly, Kong Fanrong knew that Zhao Jun really did not want to go.
As the saying goes: It's not a good deal to climb a pole.
Kong Fanrong sighed and said, "Okay, if you don't want to go, forget it. I'm thinking of letting you earn some money."
"Haha, thank you, uncle." Zhao Jun stood up with a smile and said, "Uncle, take your time to pack up. I'll come down to pick you up in the afternoon."
No matter what, Zhao Jun would do what he promised Kong Fanrong to do.
Seeing that Zhao Jun didn't even want to take the skins, Xing San didn't say anything. He stood up, said a few polite words to Kong Fanrong, and followed Zhao Jun out of the shack.
"TMD!" After going outside, Xing San spat on the ground and said, "What the hell is this? Such a petty person."
"Uncle." Zhao Jun held Xing San's arm and walked with him to the motorcycle, saying, "Don't let him hear it."
"What do you think? Am I afraid of him?" Xing San was angry because he was the one who introduced Kong Fanrong to Zhao Jun. Kong Fanrong was too humiliating and Xing San felt embarrassed.
"Why should we be afraid of him?" Zhao Jun smiled and comforted Xing San, saying, "It's useless if we don't offend that person."
"Hey?" Xing San suddenly stopped, grabbed Zhao Jun, turned around and looked at the tightly closed door of the shack, and said, "Shall we tell him that the warehouse was taken away?"
"Huh?" Zhao Jun was startled and blurted out, "Uncle, do you know where the warehouse is?"
"It's right up there." Xing San raised his hand and pointed to the hill behind the shack, saying, "He put up a shack here, and his big hide house is right here. I guess the warehouse is there too."
Zhao Jun knew that what Xing San said was right, especially since there was a rocky pond above, which was exactly where the brown bears hid.
"We don't need anything else." Xing San smiled and said to Zhao Jun: "Do you believe it? He sprained his ankle, it is very likely that he sprained it in the stone embankment.
If you ask me, we can just follow him. It just snowed the day before yesterday, so it’s too easy to follow him.”
"Forget it, Third Uncle." Zhao Jun said with a smile, "We don't have the time to deal with him."
Zhao Jun motioned Xing San to get in the car, and then said, "We're so busy all day, how can we care about him? We'll track him today, and set traps tomorrow. We'll catch a sheep and bleed it for you to make wine."
After hearing what Zhao Jun said, Xing San's expression lightened up a little, and he nodded and said, "Okay then."
Zhao Jun started the motorcycle and took Xing San over the mountain to the third work section.
……
At this time, Zhao Youcai was standing with his hands behind his back in the courtyard of the Yongxing Brigade Guesthouse, watching a group of people helping Li Wencai slaughter a pig.
"Young Master!" Seeing Jie Chen and Jie Sun watching the fun on the other side, Zhao Youcai called Jie Chen over.
Xie Chen didn't want to come, as he was afraid that Zhao Youcai would teach him again. But when the elders called him, how could the younger generation not move?
"Uncle." Xie Chen walked up to Zhao Youcai and heard Zhao Youcai say, "After we finish the pig-killing meal at noon, let's go."
"We?" Xie Chen was stunned and asked hurriedly: "Uncle, you are leaving? Where are you going?"
Then, Xie Chen added: "My mother and I are going back to Lingnan."
"I know." Zhao Youcai nodded and said, "I'm going to Lingnan too."
"Ah..." Xie Chen subconsciously thought that Zhao Youcai wanted to visit his home, so he said, "Okay, uncle, let's go to my house, and then I'll take you for a walk."
"Hmm?" Zhao Youcai turned to look at Jie Chen and said, "Who said I was going to your house?"
"Uncle, where are you going?" Xie Chen was confused, and then he heard Zhao Youcai say, "Will the old man not let the big claws attack him? I think I'll go see him."
That’s right, this was Zhao Youcai’s plan to escape.
Xie Chen was unable to react for a moment, and then he heard Zhao Youcai continue, "I remember that his village is just across the bridge. When you get to the bottom of the bridge, you stop the car and I can go over there by myself. I can find it."
"No, uncle." Xie Chen, who had come to his senses, said to Zhao Youcai, "Before I came out, my brother Jun told me to go see Brother Huang."
"Let you go?" Zhao Youcai stared at Jie Chen with his small eyes. Jie Chen nodded and said, "Yes, my brother Jun told me to do that."
"Then you don't have to go either." Zhao Youcai said, "I'll go, don't you want to go home? If you want to go home, don't go to his house. Otherwise, his family will arrange dinner for you, and you won't be able to leave again this evening."
"That's true." Xie Chen felt that what Zhao Youcai said made sense, but he felt that there was no need for Zhao Youcai to make a special trip.
But during these days at the Zhao family, Xie Chen had already figured out Zhao Youcai's temper.
So, Xie Chen took out some money from his pocket and said, "Uncle, I won't go then."
"What are you going to do with the money?" Zhao Youcai said, "You don't have to buy him anything."
"Isn't this..." Xie Chen took out two big unity cards and stuffed them into Zhao Youcai's hands. He said, "This is what my brother Jun asked me to give to Brother Huang."
"Then..." Zhao Youcai took the twenty yuan and put it in his pocket, then said to Jie Chen: "Okay, you don't have to worry about this."
"Ah..." Xie Chen suddenly remembered the four cans of food that Zhao Jun had prepared for Huang Gui, so he pointed at the Jiefang car and said to Zhao Youcai, "Uncle, my brother Jun also prepared four cans for him."
"You can keep the cans." Zhao Youcai waved his hand nonchalantly. It would be very difficult for him to get so many cans of food to Hansong Fort.
"Okay, uncle." Xie Chen had no choice but to go to find Xie Sunshi since he couldn't persuade Zhao Youcai.
After Xie Chen left, Zhao Youcai turned slightly to the side and looked to the south, thinking to himself: "My chance to turn things around has come!"
……
Just as Zhao Youcai was daydreaming, every household in Xishan Village was fighting against the Xishan fox.
Despite the setbacks they had experienced last night, the people of Xishan Village, in order to make money, went to Xishan at dawn today, men, women, young and old, holding sledgehammers, axes, shovels and pickaxes.
When they arrived at the destination, the men started working right away, chiseling and digging, destroying the fox holes one by one and killing the foxes one by one.
Get rich!
This is the consensus of the people in Xishantun: what they are hunting is not a fox, but money!
At the same time, Zhao Jun, Wang Qiang, Li Baoyu and Xing San had crossed the river on the bluestone and entered the territory of Yongxing Brigade.
It snowed the day before yesterday and stopped yesterday. Today all the animals went out to look for food, and all you could see were various small footprints on the snow.
The group of four was led by Zhao Jun, who relied on his memory to find the tree where the sheep was hanging.
"Brother!" Li Baoyu suddenly exclaimed.
Zhao Jun raised his hand and saw Li Baoyu pointing to the east with his long arm, saying, "What's the use of that? It will pass by in a flash."
"Let's be careful!" Zhao Jun hurriedly asked his three companions to prepare for battle.
What was that yellow thing Li Baoyu was talking about? It could be one of the three great cats in Northeast China, or it could be a roe deer.
It could also be their target today - the hanging sheep, but due to lighting problems, Li Baoyu saw it as yellow.
Suddenly, there was a noise not far away, and Wang Qiang raised his gun suddenly.
Even when the gun was pointed at his face, Wang Qiang did not fire the gun because there was no target in his sight.
