The whole mountain is my hunting ground

It's good to stay at home for a thousand days, but it's hard to go out for one day.

The morning after arriving at the Yongxing brigade, Li Wencai steamed steamed buns and cooked cabbage soup for Zhao Jun and others.

Logically speaking, this is normal farm food, and this is what most people eat.

But is the Zhao Jun family an ordinary family?

When his family steams steamed cornmeal, they add fried bean noodles to the cornmeal. If you stew cabbage soup ten times, at least eight times it will contain meat.

But Lao Litou's steamed steamed buns are made of pure corn flour, and the residue falls off when you bite into them. The cabbage soup is just pure cabbage soup, even with less oil.

Not to mention Zhao Jun, even Jie Chen, who was greedy at Zhao Jun's house, was not used to eating this.

But this was not because Old Li was treating them lightly. This old man came from a hard time and felt that it would be good to have this.

If it weren't for entertaining them, Li Wencai wouldn't even make cabbage soup in the morning. He would cut some pickles himself and eat them with steamed buns.

But Zhao Jun was not picky about food, so he treated it like eating Yiku rice, and he didn't eat less.

While they were eating, Lao Li washed the pot and boiled water, then brought in a big melon from outside, cut it into large pieces and boiled it in the big pot.

The melons and potatoes were common dishes in the Northeast at this time. The big melons weighed more than ten kilograms, but they were cooked within a short time of being put in the pot. Li Wencai used a big spoon to mash the melons in the pot and cooked them like So mushy.

Li Wencai poured out half of the glutinous melon paste and left half in the big pot, so that it could cool down faster.

After Zhao Jun and the others finished eating, they took half of the nest of melons and went out to feed the dogs.

It doesn't feel like home here. There aren't many dog ​​food bowls here. However, when the production team used to raise deer, they set up a circle in the northeast corner of the compound. There were ready-made deer food troughs. Li Wencai got up early and dug them out. It was just right. Feed it to the dog.

When the two shed doors were opened, the dog, which had been locked up all night, jumped out impatiently, playing and peeing everywhere.

The only black tiger came to the food trough with its head shaking. Before other dogs came, it first licked two mouthfuls of melon, and then went to the big tree in the yard to lift its legs and release water.

After the hunting dogs finished eating, Zhao Jun called Zhang Yuanmin and his ministers to lock the dogs back into the shed, then locked the door of the shed before going back to the house to change clothes and carry the gun.

Dressed neatly, they said hello to Li Wencai, came out of the guest house courtyard, and left the Yongxing brigade in a car.

Thirty-five or six miles away, the Jiefang brand car arrived in nearly forty minutes. Zhao Jun and the others got off the car, entered the mountain field and went straight to the place where Zhao Jun laid the yellow leaf trap yesterday.

Walking along the stream, not far away, I saw a yellow thing hanging on the fallen log in front of me.

Looking at it from a distance, it looks like dried tobacco leaves or corn leaves, so it is called yellow leaves, which is not bad at all.

"Brother, don't come down!" Zhang Yuanmin said to Zhao Jun, who went into the water alone with his boots on.

When he arrived at the fallen tree, Zhang Yuanmin stretched out his hands, holding the back of Huang Yezi's neck with his right hand and Huang Yezi's waist with his left hand, turned it back, and then shouted to Zhao Jun on the shore: "Brother, it's a mother and son."

"Anything is fine." Zhao Jun said, "Brother, just give it a hand and pick it off."

Yu Xuewen said that he wanted yellow leaves, and he didn't specify the male and female. Just get three of them and tell him.

Picking off the skins of yellow leaves, greyhounds, and sables is different from picking off the skins of wild boars, black bears, and roe deer. You can skin large prey just by putting it on the ground.

But small prey like yellow leaves must be immobilized. Therefore, when people pick up yellow leaves, they tie a rope around its neck and hang it on a nail on the fence or behind the door.

At this time, the yellow leaves are just hanging on the fallen wood, so peeling them off directly is easy and hassle-free.

Zhang Yuanmin agreed and took out a hand-length knife from his trouser pocket. Such a short knife was specially used for peeling off skin.

Zhang Yuanmin once made a deerskin knife for Zhao Jun, and his own knife was left by his father, and the handle was made of Zandahan leather.

Zhang Yuanmin's father was also a good man back then. It is said that Mr. Zhang even traveled to the Greater and Lesser Khingan Mountains and made a name for himself there.

When Li Ruhai came back, he said that when he heard the villagers tell about the past, it seemed that Mr. Zhang's nickname was not very positive, either Tiger or Biao.

But one thing that cannot be denied is that Zhang Yuanmin's hands-on ability is very strong. He can peel off the skin of a yellow leaf in three strokes.

He rolled the yellow leaf skin into a tube and put it in his pocket, then turned around and shouted to Zhao Jun from a distance: "Brother, what should we do with this?"

"Take off the condom and cut off the wooden pegs. Don't delay others from walking." Although Zhao Jun said this, he actually didn't want others to see the way he removed the condom.

The yellow leaf trap and the can can trap are both secret. Zhao Jun didn't want outsiders to learn them, otherwise he wouldn't have arranged them so far away from the Yongxing brigade.

Zhang Yuanmin listened to Zhao Jun's instructions, took off the yellow leaf meat from the sleeve, threw it into the grass on the shore.

The cover was put into the water to rinse, shaken with water and put into the bag. The cover could be recycled, but the fallen wood was stained with the bloody smell of yellow leaves. If any yellow leaves passed by, they would not move onto the fallen wood.

Then, Zhang Yuanmin followed Zhao Jun's instructions and used the knife in his hand to cut off all the wooden sticks standing on the fallen wood.

After finishing this, Zhang Yuanmin went ashore and walked along the stream with Zhao Jun and Jie Chen.

Yesterday, five traps were laid, two of which were triggered. Two yellow leaves were hung, one male and one female. Zhang Yuanmin skinned both of them, and put the skins into his shoulder bag. The three of them came down from the mountain and walked to the opposite mountain. .

When we arrived at the place where we caught feet yesterday, we heard a roe deer barking far away.

It's not the first time, I have experience.

Jie Chen took out the rope from his pocket, and Zhang Yuanmin chopped the stick. Zhao Jun walked not far forward when he saw a big male roe deer lying on the ground and howling.

The big roe deer stepped on Zhu's foot, stepped forward, and took Zhu's foot out of the soil. But he grabbed his feet and put them on his feet, and the big roe deer fell down after taking only a few steps.

It's like buying a dog-like shoe for a domestic pet dog. The first few times you wear it, the puppy won't be able to walk.

Moreover, roe deer are hoofed animals. They use their toes to support their bodies, so when one hoof cannot touch the ground, they cannot walk.

This is the power of cans, they are small and exquisite and more practical.

Get a set of ropes, wipe the head and tie the hooves, tie up the four hooves of the big roe deer, and pierce the middle with a stick, and you will get one hundred yuan!

Zhao Jun carried his gun in front, Zhang Yuanmin and his ministers carried the roe deer. The three of them came down from the mountain, threw the roe deer into the car, and returned to the Yongxing Brigade.

More than forty minutes later, the car returned to the Yongxing brigade. Zhao Jun wanted to drive the car to the brigade headquarters and hand over both the roe deer and Huang Zipi to Yu Xuewen. Exchange money for those who should exchange money, exchange favors for those who should exchange favors.

"Hey! Hi!" Not long after the car entered the village, he saw Tao Fulin standing on the side of the road waving.

When the car stopped, Zhao Jun and Zhang Yuanmin got out of the passenger seat and asked the old man, "Old man, what are you doing here?"

"I have nothing to do. I came out to see who picked up pine cones. I'll give it to the greyhound... eh?" Before Tao Fulin could finish his words, he heard the roe deer on the back of the car "squeaking, squeaking". Stop, the old man walked over in two steps, stood on tiptoes and peeked in through the barrier. He turned around and said to Zhao Jun: "Boy Zhao, when did this guy get fixed?"

Zhao Jun and the others left Yong'an Village at seven o'clock. It took forty minutes to go and forty minutes to return. They went up the mountain and crossed the stream to pick up yellow leaves and tie up roe deer. It was only about eleven o'clock now.

Boss Lao Tao didn't know that Zhao Jun had used a heel trap yesterday. He was still wondering how Zhao Jun could kill a roe deer in the morning?

Still alive!

"Just fixed it." Zhao Jun replied with a smile: "I happened to meet it and caught it."

"Ah?" The old man looked at Zhao Jun suspiciously. Tao Fulin didn't believe what Zhao Jun said, but he could only say: "Don't forget, come home for dinner tonight."

"I can't forget it." Seeing that Tao Fulin was about to leave, Zhao Jun hurriedly asked, "Old man, how about you get in the car and take you home first?"

"No need!" The old man waved his hand and said, "The little gray dog ​​you gave me yesterday was quite fun. But I don't have anything to feed it at home. If I feed it sand fruits, it always pees."

Zhao Jun heard this and said with a smile: "Then you have to feed it something dry. It can't be done by eating Sha Guo."

"Yeah." Tao Fulin pointed forward and said, "You guys go ahead. I'll go up and take a look. There's the one picking up the pine tree tower. I want to feed it."

"Okay, then slow down." Zhao Jun warned before getting in the car with Zhang Yuanmin. With this old man's status, no matter who he asks for the pine cone, no one will refuse him.

So Zhao Jun ignored him and asked Jiechen to drive straight to the brigade headquarters.

When the car arrived at the brigade, Yu Xuewen came out of it. He poured the remaining overnight tea in the big tea jar under the roots of the willow tree. Hearing the movement of the car, Yu Xuewen was a little strange.

But when the car stopped and only the roe deer was heard calling, Yu Xuewen was very surprised.

It's not even twelve o'clock yet. To catch a big roe deer in one morning is really impressive.

But what surprised Yu Xuewen was yet to come.

"Secretary Yu!" Zhao Jun, Zhang Yuanmin, and Jie Chen all got out of the car. Zhao Jun said to Zhang Yuanmin: "Brother, give the leather to Secretary Yu and bring it back."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuanmin hurriedly took out a roll of yellow leaf bark from his shoulder bag and handed it to Zhao Jun, and then he went to take out the second one.

"This...so fast?" Yu Xuewen was really shocked. Not only did he catch a big roe deer in the morning, but he also helped him beat the yellow leaves. This young man is so capable!

Zhao Jun unfolded the leather rolled up in his hand and said to Xuewen: "Secretary Yu, this is a male. The leather is not as good as it was after winter, and the hair tube is not as good as it was after heavy snowfall."

"Oops!" Yu Xuewen took the leather from Zhao Jun's hand, held it in front of his eyes and looked at it twice, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Zhao Jun, this is difficult enough. How many people have I entrusted? It can’t be fixed.”

At this point, Yu Xuewen took the leather in one hand and said to Zhao Jun: "Quick, come, come into the room and talk."

Zhao Jun smiled, took another roll of leather from Zhang Yuanmin, and then said to Zhang Yuanmin and Jie Chen: "Brother, you and Jie Chen help Secretary Yu carry it down for the roe deer."

"Hey." Zhang Yuanmin and Jiechen obeyed, and Zhao Jun followed Yu Xuewen into the main force.

At this time, Yu Xuewen was even more surprised when he saw another roll of yellow leaf skin in Zhao Jun's hand, "How about two?"

"Yeah." Zhao Jun said with a smile: "There is still one left, I can get it back tomorrow."

Yu Xuewen took a deep look at Zhao Jun, then took the rolled yellow leaf skin from Zhao Jun's hand, unfolded it, and stacked the two skins together.

"Secretary Yu." Zhao Jun said from the side: "This one is from mother and son, it's not as good as the one just now."

"It's okay." Yu Xuewen said: "These two yellow leaves are asked for by an old friend of mine, and they are not a matter for the team. As for the money, I will give it to you personally, regardless of whether it is a male or a female, I will give you four Ten dollars a piece.”

"Ouch!" Zhao Jun said hurriedly: "Secretary Yu, how can I ask for your money? This is considered a gift from me."

Forty yuan for a yellow leaf is not as valuable as Yu Xuewen's favor.

I think back then, Yu Xuewen helped Zhao Jun get potassium aluminum cyanate with just one word. Otherwise, it would be really hard for Zhao Jun to get that thing.

This relationship must be maintained.

"That's not possible." Yu Xuewen said in an unquestionable tone: "The money must be given to you. You have helped me a lot. How can I still make you suffer?"

Yu Xuewen is also very particular about people, and he understands what he said just now, Huang Yezi must give money. Not only did he give money, but he also remembered Zhao Jun's love.

Zhao Jun understood what Yu Xuewen meant, but said: "Secretary Yu, if you want to give money, you can't give that much. In the spring of this year, the store at the foot of the mountain will collect the best yellow leaves, which cost only thirty-five dollars each. This At that time, the yellow leaf leather boards and hair tubes were not good, I will give you three, you just give me fifty yuan."

"Fifty... isn't that too little?" Yu Xuewen couldn't help but frown when he heard this. When he asked for help before, he specifically inquired. Knowing that Huang Yezi cost about thirty yuan a piece, in order to prevent Zhao Jun from suffering a loss, he set a price of forty yuan for a yellow leaf.

At this time, after listening to Zhao Jun's words, Yu Xuewen knew that the price of these yellow leaves fluctuated, but it was not like a total of 50 yuan for three leaves.

Yu Xuewen knew that this was the price of friendship given by Zhao Jun, but it was not in line with his behavior.

Seeing this, Zhao Jun hurriedly said: "Secretary Yu, you helped me sort potassium and aluminum cyanate before. I'm quite happy that I can help you a little bit. Besides, this yellow leaf is something from the mountains. , I don’t mean to sell it for money, just three pieces for fifty yuan.”

"Okay." After hearing what Zhao Jun said, Yu Xuewen smiled lightly and agreed, but said: "I don't have any money in my pocket now. Can't you stay at the guest house this afternoon? I'll give it to you."

"No need to give it away." Upon hearing this, Zhao Jun hurriedly said: "Isn't there still one missing piece? I'll give it to you when I get it."

"That's okay." Yu Xuewen was very happy now that he had solved a big problem. He pointed outside the house and smiled at Zhao Jun: "That roe deer's money will be paid to you in a pile when you leave. That Even if the team pays for it, it won’t make any difference.”

"It's definitely not bad." Zhao Jun said with a smile: "With you and Uncle Tao here, what should I be afraid of?"

Yu Xuewen laughed, and Zhao Jun immediately thought of something and asked Yu Xuewen: "Secretary Yu, it stands to reason that all the villages in our brigade must have yellow leaves, so we shouldn't go to such trouble."

Yellow leaves not only stay in the mountains and wilds, but also wander around villages. It is common for them to steal chickens, ducks, and catch mice.

These days, in order to protect food, many people use rat poison. And these poisoned mice became a food source for Huang Ye.

But those dead mice are poisonous, and if you eat them, the yellow leaves will also be poisoned.

The cortex of yellow leaves that die from poisoning will not be affected. Could it be that such a big Yongxing brigade didn't pick up dead yellow leaves?

When Yu Xuewen heard Zhao Jun's words, he narrowed his eyes and frowned slightly, as if he was recalling the past. Then he raised his head slightly and said: "Nine years ago, right? Our fifth team was surrounded by Huang Yezi. No more moves, I will The cannon was pulled out and two cannons were fired. After that, our hunter team will do nothing but leave the team around to shoot yellow leaves for half a year, and then there will be no more!"
