The whole mountain is my hunting ground

The car drove straight into the mountainous area along the road. In the back of the car, Zhao Jun sat on a sack roll with his back to the car.

Hua Niuniu lay next to Zhao Jun, wagging her little tail, and tentatively put her mouth towards Zhao Jun's face.

This little bitch is already good-looking, with a small round face and angular ears. She looks very cute. At this time, she wants Zhao Jun to be close to her, but her desire is also a bit uneasy, as if she is afraid of being rejected. .

"Look at you who caused trouble." Zhao Jun reached out and put a hair on Hua Niuniu's head, trying to smooth down her ridged hair.

But as Zhao Jun touched Hua Niuniu's head, the little bitch fell down, and the whole dog fell on Zhao Jun's body.

Zhao Jun was stunned when he saw Hua Niuniu unfolding her belly and folding her two front paws on her chest.

When a dog acts coquettishly, dog lovers can't resist. Zhao Jun couldn't help but smile on his face and said "It's a shame", and then he lovingly picked the grass stalks and branches for Hua Niuniu. .

In this way, after nearly an hour and a half's drive, Zhao Jun and Hua Niuniu got along well.

When the car stopped at the foot of a mountain, Zhao Jun looked up and found that this place was the sow forest where the Zhao family's dog gang used to fight at night to shoot eggs.

Just hearing the sound of the car door closing, Zhao Youcai, Wang Qiang, and Jie Chen walked towards the rear compartment. At the same time, Zhao Youcai called Zhao Jun, "Leash that dog, let's go."

"Hey!" Zhao Jun agreed, pulled the rope, and skillfully tied a chain horse around Hua Niuniu's neck.

After being trapped, Hua Niuniu kept tilting her head to bite the rope while making a chirping sound in her mouth.

"Niuniu, be obedient." Zhao Jun tied the other end of the rope to the railing of the car, then carried Hua Niuniu onto the sack roll and said, "Wait for us here for a while."

With that said, Zhao Jun got up and got out of the car.

Zhao Jun turned over and got out of the car. When his feet landed on the ground, he heard a rattling sound in the car.

When the four of them came closer, they saw Hua Niuniu struggling violently in the car. During the struggle, Hua Niuniu actually wrapped the rope around her body and neck.

If this continues, the dog will be easily strangled.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Jun quickly got into the car to rescue the dog. After untying the rope around Hua Niuniu, Zhao Jun comforted the dog again. But after Zhao Jun got off the bus, Hua Niuniu still acted like that.

When this happened for the third time, Zhao Jun hugged Hua Niuniu on the carriage and asked Zhao Youcai, "Dad, what should we do?"

"Then what's the point of fixing it?" Zhao Youcai said angrily: "Take it, you can take it to fight for me later."

Zhao Jun did not dare to talk back and got out of the car with Hua Niuniu in his arms. As soon as the little bitch landed on the ground, she looked around curiously.

"Ouch!" Suddenly, Hua Niuniu's butt hurt. It turned out to be a slap from Zhao Youcai.

"This day." Zhao Youcai glared at Hua Niuniu and said, "Go back and put it in a cage!"

"You should be beaten." Zhao Jun squatted down and tied a rope around Hua Niuniu's neck, and tried to communicate with her: "Go up the mountain and obey me, or he will beat you."

I don’t know if Hua Niuniu understood what Zhao Jun said, but anyway, she stuck out her tongue and licked Zhao Jun’s hand, and her little tail kept wagging.

"Let's go! Go up the mountain!" At this time, Commander Zhao gave the order and took the lead, and the other three people quickly followed.

The snowfall the day before yesterday was really heavy. At this time, the snow in the mountains and forests was up to the knees. If the petite Hua Niuniu sank into the snow, her mouth could be exposed when she raised her head.

There was no other way, Zhao Jun could only hold it. Fortunately, Hua Niuniu was light and did not put too much burden on Zhao Jun.

This kind of snow is indeed not suitable for hunting dogs, but it is suitable for walking. If an experienced hunter finds wild boar footprints on such snow, he can touch them slowly and even into the pigs.

"Jun!" Wang Qiang, who was walking in front of Zhao Jun, suddenly said, "Tomorrow is your mother's birthday."

"Huh?" Zhao Jun was startled when he heard this, and then Wang Qiang said: "Tomorrow is October 21st."

Tomorrow is December 11, 1987, October 21 of the lunar calendar, which is Wang Meilan’s birthday.

In Zhao Jun's previous life, Wang Meilan left early. At that time, he was not very sensible and could not remember Wang Meilan's birthday.

Later, when chatting with the eldest sister, they talked about the deceased Wang Meilan. Zhao Jun asked Zhao Chun several times about Wang Meilan's birthday, but no one was there and he forgot after asking.

These days, people don't pay much attention to this. Birthdays consist of making a wad of noodles and boiling two eggs.

But at this time, Zhao Jun was interested. He kept this day in his heart and warned himself never to forget his mother's birthday again. Moreover, Zhao Jun plans to have a good birthday for Wang Meilan tomorrow.

"Uncle." Zhao Jun said to Wang Qiang, "It's all your fault, otherwise I wouldn't know."

Wang Qiang smiled when he heard this. Just as he was about to speak, Zhao Youcai, who was walking in front, said, "You don't know that, but I do."

Zhao Jun and Wang Qiang glanced at the back of Zhao Youcai's head in surprise. At this time, Zhao Youcai secretly thought: "Tomorrow is Lan's birthday. I have to perform well. I will get a raise this month."

"Oh!" At this time, Wang Qiang sighed and turned sideways to Zhao Jun, who was hugging the dog: "When your grandma leaves, your mother and I will stay in front of you. The old lady will recite the birthdays to my two sisters, and then say that no one else will remember her. Come on, you two sisters have to remember each other."

…

Yong'an Village Zhaojia.

Wang Meilan was not at home, and Hu Sanmei was not making quilts. She was wandering all over the floor with Xiao Zhou in her arms. When she wandered to the outhouse, she saw Wang Meilan coming back with a bundle of yellow paper, and asked curiously: "My mother-in-law, what kind of day is this?" ?You visit the grave?"

"It's my birthday tomorrow." Wang Meilan responded with a smile.

"Huh?" Hu Sanmei was stunned for a moment. She knew that she would visit the grave on memorial days, and then there would be special festivals, or when she had a surgical illness and needed to pay tribute to her elders. I have never heard of anyone visiting a grave on their own birthday.

Seeing that Hu Sanmei didn't understand, Wang Meilan smiled lightly and said, "My mother's birthday is so painful. I think of my birthday tomorrow, and I miss my mother."

"Mom." At this time, Zhao Chun, who was cleaning the cabinets in the room, came out and said to Wang Meilan, "I'll go with you two tomorrow."

"Okay." Wang Meilan smiled at Zhao Chun, and then said to Hu Sanmei: "In our family, apart from my younger brother, my eldest daughter knows my birthday."

"My dad doesn't know yet?" Zhao Chun asked with a smile, and saw Wang Meilan curl her lips and enter the east room with the yellow paper.

The moment she entered the east room, Wang Meilan remembered that children lived in this room, so she carried the yellow paper to the west room.

Wang Meilan placed the yellow paper roll on the kang, moved the kang table, and unfolded the yellow paper on the table.

Wang Meilan folded the large piece of yellow paper into a long strip as wide as a palm, and then called to Zhao Chun: "My eldest daughter, bring mom that pen."

Zhao Chun agreed, pulled out the drawer of the standing cabinet, and then took out half a bottle of fountain pen and a writing brush.

Looking at these two things, especially the writing brush, Hu Sanmei's eyes widened. She followed Zhao Chun into the west room with her child in her arms.

Wang Meilan was just about to pick up the pen and ink when she saw Hu Sanmei coming in with Zhou Zhou in her arms. She immediately slapped her thigh, looked at Hu Sanmei and said with a wry smile: "I wonder which room my eldest grandson always puts it. I won't take this paper to that room. You can return it when you're done." Come closer."

"It's okay." Hu Sanmei laughed and said, "Our family is not afraid of this."

After saying this, Hu Sanmei proudly raised her head to the side and said: "When Mr. Jianjun was alive, who in these ten miles and eight villages dared to complain about scum? That Han woman in your village, who lives in the mountains?" How about five years?"

Zhou Jianjun's father is a veteran soldier. He followed the army from the Northeast to conquer most of China. 50 years later, the old man returned to his hometown to manage Bao.

Bandits were suppressed in the Northeast before liberation, so at that time there were only a few petty thieves left here and it was not a big deal. Mr. Zhou is an upright person, and he hates evil as much as he hates it. He doesn't care about those things that God and God talk about. If anyone dares to look at someone's affairs in such a scumbag manner, he will knock on the door when he gets the news.

In those days, if the old man wanted to beat anyone to death because of this, there was nothing wrong with him.

The old Han woman who looked after people in Yong'an Tun was so frightened by Mr. Zhou that she ran away to live in the mountains for four or five years.

It wasn't until Mr. Zhou passed away in 1965 that Mrs. Han came down the mountain. Unexpectedly, a few days after he came down from the mountain, he was still captured. Fortunately, she lived in the mountains for several years and told people that she had become a good person, thus saving her life.

After hearing what Hu Sanmei said, Wang Meilan didn't say anything else. She dipped the brush in pen water and wrote a line of small words from top to bottom on the yellow paper.

Hu Sanmei tilted her neck and glanced at it, and couldn't help but admire: "My mother-in-law, your handwriting is very good."

…

"Your mother's calligraphy is good." Wang Qiang praised his sister to Zhao Jun while walking on the mountain road.

Zhao Jun smiled when he heard this. Just when he was about to complain about Wang Meilan's poor literacy, he heard Zhao Youcai in front of him yell softly and said: "Stop making such a fuss!"

"What's going on, brother-in-law?" Wang Qiang held up his gun and quickly rushed to Zhao Youcai's side.

"Yo!" Wang Qiang came closer and took a look. His eyes lit up and he said, "There are quite a few pigs here!"

Hearing his words, Zhao Jun, who was holding the dog, and Jie Chen, who was empty-handed, also stepped forward.

Zhao Jun and others went up the mountain from west to east, and at this time, in front of them, there were snow ditches across the mountain.

The snow is heavy, and when wild boars walk on the snow, their hooves will make ditches. If you don't have experience at this time, you won't know which way the pig is going just by looking at the ditches.

But these four people and even Jie Chen came out with Zhao Jun. When he saw the depth of the wild boar's hoofs on both sides of the ditch, he immediately concluded that the wild boar was going from north to south.

Moreover, by opening and closing the wild boar's hooves, Jie Chen could tell at a glance that there was a cannon egg in it.

He could see things, let alone Zhao Jun, Zhao Youcai, and Wang Qiang.

But at this moment, Hua Niuniu in Zhao Jun's arms began to twist.

Zhao Jun held the puppy and held it up, holding Hua Niuniu's hind legs and butt with his hands and forearms, then let Hua Niuniu lie on top of him, and placed a pair of front paws on Zhao Jun's shoulders.

Hua Niuniu, who had been very honest before, started to twist her head back, and the whole dog had left Zhao Jun and fell into the snow.

"call!"

Hua Niuniu landed on the ground and fell directly into the heavy snow, but she struggled up and flopped in front of the wild boar trace.

"Huh?" When Zhao Youcai saw this scene, his attention fell on Hua Niuniu.

"Niuniu?" Zhao Jun called tentatively. Hua Niuniu turned her head to look at Zhao Jun with difficulty, and then stuck her nose into the snow.

As if she smelled the scent of wild boar, Hua Niuniu struggled to thrash in the snow and walked south.

This little bitch plows very slowly, just enough for a person to keep up.

Seeing Hua Niuniu like this, Zhao Jun ignored her and let her flutter in the snow.

Walking diagonally south for more than a mile, four people and one dog arrived at a small forest.

This forest is mostly made up of acorn trees, which produce acorns. During the winter, fallen acorns are the wild boar's main food source.

It snowed heavily two days ago, and wild boars came here to look for food. They dug their beaks into the snow to pick out acorns and eat them. A large group of wild boars plowed back and forth, as if they had plowed the land.

After being plowed by wild boars, the surrounding snow was leveled, and Hua Niuniu passed through the forest and disappeared in front of the four of them.

"Chase!" Zhao Youcai shouted violently, holding a gun in one hand and chasing Hua Niuniu.

Hua Niuniu passed through the forest and quickly went down the slope.

There is a depression in the middle of this hillside, which is called a hollow by mountain people.

Hua Niuniu went downhill to the low-lying area, and then went up the slope.

Three or four hundred meters up, there is a slow hill, which is a place with gentle terrain.

There are a few sparse pine trees here, and wild boars are lying here and there under the pine trees.

This gang of pigs is really quite big, with as many as thirty or forty pigs. The leader is a cannon egg, which weighs about three hundred, five hundred and sixty kilograms.

At this time, the wild boars have not yet left their nests. In order to avoid unnecessary consumption of calories, the wild boars will lie down in their nests even if they wake up.

"Shashasha..."

Suddenly, there was a slight rustling sound, and the cannon egg guarding the pigs in the outermost circle suddenly raised his head.

Cannonball was slightly startled as he looked at the little spotted dog scurrying over the snow.

Among so many wild boars, some of them must have seen dogs, but looking at Hua Niuniu running towards her, the wild boars all looked up at her, but made no other movements.

A normal hunting dog would start howling long ago when seeing a bunch of pigs lying here.

But Hua Niuniu ran all the way without barking or making any noise. The key was that her steps were light and there was no trace of murderous intent.

Hua Niuniu just ran up to the cannon egg. If any other hunting dog had rushed to three or four meters in front of the wild boar, it would have stopped. But Hua Niuniu came to the wild boar at a trot.

The heavy snowfall has just passed and the wild boar circle has not yet ended. It is the time to shoot eggs to protect the pig herd. This pig herd is so big that in addition to this cannon egg, there are two more cannon eggs.

The Second Artillery Egg and the Third Artillery Egg both weighed less than three hundred. They were lying on the left and right sides of the Big Artillery Egg. When Hua Niuniu arrived in front of Cannon Egg, the other two Cannon Eggs and other wild boars, whether they were adult sows, Chen Shen or Huang Maozi, all looked at Hua Niuniu curiously.

Hua Niuniu stood in front of Cannon Egg, and waggled her erect tail. Cannon Egg was startled slightly, and the pig's mouth made a "command" sound. Hua Niuniu suddenly turned around and pointed her butt towards Cannon Egg.

Cannon Egg poked his head forward and stuck his pig's nose towards Hua Niuniu's butt.

"Ouch!" Hua Niuniu yelled, turned around suddenly, and put her dog's mouth towards Cannon Egg's pig nose.

Hua Niuniu's sudden initiative startled the cannon egg, and it smacked the pig's head back.

"Aw! Aw!" Hua Niuniu screamed twice more, moving her little steps and pushing herself towards the cannon egg.

Cannonball was stunned, and the other wild boars looked at them blankly.

At the same time, the four Zhao Jun soldiers who were walking through the woods heard Hua Niuniu's cry and quickly walked towards this side with their guns in hand.
