The whole mountain is my hunting ground

After setting a trap, Zhao Jun and others walked up the stream. When they encountered fallen trees, they put the trap on and off the fallen trees just like before.

The reason for working on fallen wood is that yellow leaves like to come to the waterside no matter in winter or summer.

In winter, fish and shrimp under the broken ice are its main source of food. In other seasons, it comes to the water, and in addition to drinking water, if it is lucky, it will pick up some dead fish and toads to eat. When he was unlucky, he could catch fish and toads himself.

In winter, the yellow leaves pass directly over the ice. In other seasons, even if it can swim, it does not enter deep water, but passes over fallen logs.

It was precisely based on this habit that Zhao Jun chose to set a trap on the fallen wood.

This area of ​​water is called the Eighteen Branches by the locals. As the name suggests, there are many river branches.

Zhao Jun had fought sieges here in his previous life and knew that the mountainous landform here was perfect for catching yellow leaves.

And this trick was learned by Zhao Jun from others in the Far East in his previous life. It is said that it is accurate every time, and if you use the trick today, if you don't see the yellow leaves tomorrow, it will be the day after tomorrow.

If someone else said this, Zhao Jun might not believe it, but the person who taught him how to use the yellow leaf trap had been in the Far East for more than ten years in his previous life. Within ten meters, I encountered a black bear twice. Although I was bare-handed, I escaped without any damage.

As for the three yellow leaves that Yu Xuewen wanted, Zhao Jun played five sets and believed that he would definitely be able to deal with the brigade secretary.

After pulling down the five yellow leaves, Zhao Jun and others returned to the car, took off the sacks containing the traps, and carried them on Jie Chen's back, and then entered the mountain field on the left side of the road.

Not long after entering the mountain, Zhao Jun led his men and dogs up the hillock at the southwest corner.

When passing by a secondary forest, Xiao Hua howled and ran out. Seeing this, Zhang Yuanmin hurriedly took off the gun from his shoulder. Jie Chen, however, was carrying a sack on his back and it was inconvenient to pick up his gun, so he only turned his attention to Zhao Jun.

Zhao Jun did not move. He just looked at Little Bear, Black Tiger, Big Fat, and Qinglong, and found that they all had no reaction. They still went their own way, so Zhao Jun did not take off the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle on his shoulder.

Looking at the little flowers again, I smelled them on the ground, then raised my head and looked around blankly.

Zhao Jun came over with a gun and saw roe deer droppings on the ground. It must be that in the morning, there were roe deer chewing the cud here.

Roe deer all feed in the morning, and "feeding" means eating while walking. This is the siege terminology of Zhao Jun's family, which is also the Heilongjiang Province. In Lingnan, that is, in Ji Province, this is called herding grass.

After the roe deer feed, around nine o'clock, they will find a place to lie down and chew the cud.

After chewing the cud, body waste will be excreted nearby. Therefore, this area of ​​secondary forest is the activity range of roe deer.

"Come!" Zhao Jun turned around and waved to Jie Chen, who hurriedly put down the sack holding the trap.

This sack of cans is not heavy, but it needs to be handled with care, otherwise it will be in trouble if it gets flattened.

And this claw cannot be recycled. It is discarded every time the roe deer steps on it. But compared to the price of a roe deer, what are two cans?

Therefore, after building the shed in the backyard, Zhao Hong and Zhao Na drank from cans every day and drank all the Jianlibao in the cellar.

Jie Chen put down the sack and took out the traps inside one by one. Here Zhang Yuanmin also put down his gun, took out a small shovel and a small pickaxe from his shoulder bag, followed Zhao Jun's instructions, used the small shovel to shovel the turf, and then used the small pickaxe to dig the hole.

Zhang Yuanmin and Jiechen took turns digging holes and placing traps, while Zhao Jun called Xiaohua over.

This puppy is just over a year old, less than two years old. In the spring of this year, when she followed Zhao Jun to the Yongxing brigade to fight siege, Xiaohua was dragged by the little bear to open her mouth. It has not been a year yet.

But it can be seen that this little flower is going to stand out, but just by looking at its appearance just now, Zhao Jun can conclude that its fragrance is not good, and it has nothing to do with the fragrance of raising its head, that is, it is a fragrance of lowering its head.

As for the roe deer dung soaked in just now, the little bears also smelled it, but these hunting dogs with their heads high and fragrant could tell from the air that there were no roe deer nearby. It was just a dung soak, so they didn't bark.

The little flower, on the other hand, only went for the dung. After smelling the dung, she found that there was no more roe deer smell around, and she fell into a brief daze.

The quality of incense is innate and cannot be changed. However, as long as you are the leader, you are more promising than the helper.

Zhao Jun touched Xiaohua's neck to comfort her, telling her not to be discouraged. Waiting until Zhang Yuanmin and Jiechen arranged the traps, the three of them took the dogs down the mountain, boarded the car and went straight to the Yongxing brigade.

As soon as the car entered the Yongxing Brigade, it was stopped by the militiamen, but when they saw Zhao Jun, the two militiamen let it go on the spot without saying a word.

This is the tiger-fighting hero of the Yongxing Brigade. Anyone who participated in that battle will remember Zhao Jun and his majestic hunting dog.

The car came all the way in front of the brigade headquarters. Zhao Jun asked Zhang Yuanmin and Hechen to stay outside and watch the dogs. He went in alone to meet Yu Xuewen and Tao Dabao.

When Zhao Jun entered the brigade, he discovered that not only Yu Xuewen and Tao Dabao were there, but also Li Laowu, the team leader of the hunter team.

"Uncle Tao, Secretary Yu, Fifth Uncle." Zhao Jun greeted the three of them as soon as he came in.

Tao Dabao and others were very enthusiastic towards Zhao Jun. Tao Dabao even said to Zhao Jun: "The old man, Tao Fei, and your uncle and aunt all let you stay at home."

The uncle and aunt Tao Dabao referred to were Tao Xiaobao and Li Yunxiang. Zhao Jun smiled when he heard this and said, "Uncle Tao, let's not stay at home. I brought two friends here this time, so I won't cause any trouble to the family."

When Tao Dabao heard this, he immediately asked, "Baoyu didn't come."

"No." Zhao Jun said with a smile: "Baoyu went to work and left us to drive in the forest farm. He couldn't get away, so he asked me to bring you a good one. If he didn't come, I would bring someone else to come and wander around here. , I will even catch roe deer for you, and we will hunt for two more days."

"Zhao Jun." At this time, Li Laowu couldn't help but ask Zhao Jun: "Uncle Wu wants to ask you, how did you catch the live roe deer?"

As soon as Li Laowu said this, Yu Xuewen and Tao Dabao cast their eyes on Zhao Jun. Not only Li Laowu was curious, they were also curious.

Zhao Jun had a good impression of Li Laowu, a simple man, and immediately smiled and said: "This is easy, just to catch someone."

"Capture the feet!" Li Laowu was startled when he heard this. The art of capturing the feet has been circulated in the siege industry for many years.

But the older generation used wooden boards to catch the feet, and dug a hole in the middle. Like those who catch deer, the hole must be big enough to accommodate the deer's feet; those who want to catch roe deer, just leave enough holes to catch the roe deer's feet.

There were no nails at that time, so the older generation used mortise and tenon to drive a few wooden wedges into the hole.

The wooden wedge does not need to be too long. When a deer or roe deer steps in, the foot of the deer or roe deer will not be hindered when stepping in because of the strong stepping force. But it is difficult to pull the feet out of the wooden holes. The wooden wedges in the holes will tightly bind the feet of the deer or roe deer.

At this time, the catch foot is put on the ankle of the deer or roe deer, and the prey can still walk. Therefore, for this kind of foot-catching, a rope must be tied, and the other end of the rope must be tied tightly to a nearby tree to prevent the deer or roe deer from escaping.

And besiegers like Li Laowu, when trying to catch someone's feet, don't drive a circle of wooden wedges into the hole in the board, but drive nails diagonally into it. In this way, deer legs or roe deer legs can also be hooped.

But the wooden board used to catch the feet is not small, and it is buried where the deer or roe deer pass by, and a large piece of land needs to be shoveled.

Wild animals are sensitive, especially deer. The old people say: A deer has a thousand years of life, and every step of it is filled with worry.

Deer and roe deer are not stupid either. When they find something strange on their usual path, they will turn away.

Therefore, it is difficult to catch deer or roe deer using the old-fashioned method of catching feet. In the past, production teams used to dig large deer cellars to catch deer and cut their antlers. This kind of large deer cellar must be tilted. Sometimes if it is not done properly, the deer will fall in and fall, or it may become blinded by fire, and the deer will be in danger of life.

Zhao Jun used a can to catch its feet. The can was small in size. After the roe deer stepped on it, he used the can to wrap the entire hoof of the roe deer, making it unable to walk. In this way, no rope is needed to catch the feet, which greatly weakens the roe deer's vigilance.

This method was also learned by Zhao Jun from the Far East. By the time he learned it, hunting had been banned in his hometown, so in Zhao Jun's last life, all the methods of catching feet spread in the land of China were old-fashioned methods.

Li Laowu blinked in surprise and wanted to ask something else, but Zhao Jun said to Xuewen: "Secretary Yu, you called me today and asked for three yellow leaves. Wait until I give you a letter at noon tomorrow." .”

"Hey, okay." At this time, Yu Xuewen didn't know that Zhao Jun had already put Huang Yezi on. He only remembered that when he called Zhao Jun in the morning, Zhao Jun said he would come over after lunch and calculated that the time was now right.

But Li Laowu on the side was even more surprised when he heard that Zhao Jun was going to help Yu Xuewen get yellow leaves.

Li Laowu is a hunter, so he naturally knows how difficult it is to hunt yellow leaves in autumn. But again, if someone else takes this task, it might be a fool's errand. But who is Zhao Jun? He was a tiger-fighting hero, someone who could even capture someone alive with his big claws.

You know, the day the tiger was sent to the provincial capital Bingcheng Zoo coincided with the second anniversary of the establishment of Bingcheng's best-selling newspaper "Xinwan".

That day, the headline of "New Evening News" read: On the second anniversary of the founding of the Evening News, tigers settled in the zoo.

Listen, more rhymes!

Although Yu Xuewen is the real leader, he doesn't understand these things in the siege, and he believes in Zhao Jun. Since Zhao Jun is willing to try, Yu Xuewen is subconsciously ready to wait for good news from Zhao Jun.

At this time, Yu Xuewen turned to Tao Dabao and said, "If Zhao Jun doesn't go to live at Xiaobao's house, he can live in a guest house. Yesterday, I asked someone to change the quilt and mattress, and tidy up the house." It’s clean and the kang is lit at night, so it’s convenient to live in.”

Upon hearing this, Tao Dabao looked up at Zhao Jun and asked what Zhao Jun meant.

Zhao Jun nodded with a smile and said, "Uncle Tao, let's stay in the guest house. It's easy to get in and out."

"Yeah." Yu Xuewen continued: "Our guesthouse has a canteen. Seeing that Old Li Tou in the guesthouse can cook, I have already agreed with him to let him take care of your three meals."

"That's good." Zhao Jun smiled and said, "Thank you, Secretary Yu."

Yu Xuewen smiled and waved his hand, and Tao Dabao stood up beside him and said to Zhao Jun: "No matter how good it is, we can't leave the guest house to eat today. We have to go home to eat today! I knew you were coming in the morning, so I told your aunt and asked her to prepare the food. Uncle will entertain you at my house tonight."

Zhao Jun agreed with a smile, while Yu Xuewen said from the side: "Dabao, then you first lead Zhao Jun to the guest house and settle down."

"Okay!" Tao Dabao agreed and said to Zhao Jun: "Let's go, Zhao Jun, I will take you to the guest house."

At this time, Li Laowu also stood up, as if he wanted to leave with Zhao Jun and Tao Dabao. Zhao Jun only said goodbye to Yu Xuewen and followed Tao Dabao out of the mailroom.

As soon as he left the brigade headquarters, Tao Dabao saw the car parked at the door. He frowned and asked Li Laowu next to him: "Where did the car come from? Why is it parked here?"

"Uncle Tao." Zhao Jun said hurriedly: "This is what we drove."

"Ah?" Tao Dabao was stunned. Their Yongxing brigade had a big business, and they had several Jiefang cars like this. But I have never heard of anyone being able to drive around in a car.

Hearing Zhao Jun's voice, the dogs on the trunk poked their heads out one by one and looked at the three people at the brigade door.

Li Laowu was shocked when he saw this. He was a besieger, but he knew that raising so many dogs would cost him a lot of money.

In the spring of this year, when Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu returned to Yong'an Village, it was Li Laowu and Ji Lin who drove the sledge to see them off.

Li Laowu remembered that at that time, Zhao Jun's family only had five dogs, including the black tiger they had just picked up.

In less than a year, the number of dogs has more than doubled. Eleven dogs, what a huge expense.

At this time, Zhang Yuanmin and Jie Chen also got out of the car. The moment they saw Zhang Yuanmin, Tao Dabao and Li Laowu were startled.

They both had a deep impression of Zhang Yuanmin. When Tao Dabao went to Zhao Jun's house, he met Zhang Yuanmin who was driving a sledge and pulling a bear's paw back to the village. Tao Dabao remembered that Zhang Yuanmin said that he stabbed the black bear to death with a knife.

At that time, Tao Dabao thought, this is either a brave man or a reckless man.

And Li Laowu remembered that on the day he sent Zhao Jun home, he met Zhang Yuanmin on the way, whose face had been swollen by someone.

At that time, Li Laowu thought, this is a coward!

Zhao Jun introduced the four of them to each other, and Tao Dabao asked Jie Chen to drive the car behind the brigade headquarters. There was a courtyard there, which was the guest house of the Yong'an brigade.

Jie Chen drove ahead, while Zhao Jun and others followed Tao Dabao on foot. Anyway, there were only a few steps in total. When everyone arrived at the guest house, they were no more than a little behind the car.

When they arrived at the gate of the guest house, an old man was already waiting there.

"Dabao." The old man greeted Tao Dabao and asked, "Are these young people from our brigade?"

"Yes, Uncle Li." Tao Dabao said, "This is a distinguished guest invited by Secretary Yu and I. We must entertain him well."

"That's for sure." The old man said with a smile: "I'm here to mourn, can I neglect it?"

Tao Dabao smiled, and then Zhao Jun and others introduced him. This old man's surname is Li, Li Wencai, and he is sixty-eight years old. His family was destroyed more than ten years ago, but it was Mr. Tao who saved his life.

Later, Li Wencai stayed here to look after the guest house. He had nothing to do on weekdays, just sweeping the yard and taking care of himself, which was quite leisurely.

Regardless of age or seniority, Zhao Jun and others had to call the old man Mr. Li.

When the old man shook hands with Zhao Jun, he narrowed his eyes and stared at Zhao Jun. After looking at him for a long time, he asked Tao Dabao standing aside, "Dabao, is this..."

Although the old man is dim-sighted, he still recognizes the tiger-fighting heroes of the past.

"Zhao Jun!" Suddenly, a voice came from not far away. Everyone followed the sound and saw Tao Fulin running here.

"Ouch!" Tao Dabao hurried over to meet him, supported Tao Fulin, and said, "Dad, please slow down."

"It's okay!" Tao Fulin shook off Tao Dabao's hand, walked a few steps in front of Zhao Jun, held Zhao Jun's hand with one hand, and patted the back of Zhao Jun's hand with the other: "Boy, Master Tao misses you. .”

Zhao Jun smiled and said: "Old man, I haven't looked at you for a long time. You are in good health."

"Very good..." Before Tao Fulin could finish his words, he saw Zhang Yuanmin smiling behind Zhao Jun.

Tao Fulin stepped forward, squeezed between Zhao Jun and Li Laowu, grabbed Zhang Yuanmin's hand, and said, "Hero, are you here too?"
