The whole mountain is my hunting ground.

Chapter 1958 The Zhao Family Gang's Ultimate Weapon: Shen Qiushan is Finished

Shen Qiushan rushed out of the shack and roared for everyone to follow him.

Everyone felt that Shen Qiushan was acting like a lunatic today. He had been acting strangely ever since he entered the mountains, and now he was even more abnormal.

The shack shows obvious signs of habitation, but isn't that a good thing? It proves they've caught the tail of the Zhao family gang, so they should just keep chasing them. Why go crazy like Shen Qiushan?

But today, they came out under the leadership of Shen Qiushan, and a few days ago, Shen Qiushan brought them back a "big treasure".

The thought that if they sold that "treasure," each family would get a share, made them stop arguing with Shen Qiushan and follow in his footsteps.

Led by Shen Qiushan, the twenty-one people crossed the small river branch and entered the woods, arriving at the place where the Zhao family had carried the Phoenix Ginseng King.

The traces of the Zhao family's night watch and fire-making efforts from the past few days were still there. When Shen Qiushan saw them, he felt dizzy.

"Qiu Shan! Qiu Shan!" Fortunately, Shen Wanglin was close to Shen Qiu Shan and quickly caught him. Seeing this, the people nearby helped to help Shen Qiu Shan to the bottom of the tree.

"What happened!" Seeing the situation, Song Daikui ran over from a short distance. Seeing the crowd supporting Shen Qiushan, Song Daikui immediately asked, "Did Guixia get hurt after that blow?"

Upon hearing Song Daikui's words, Shen Qiushan's vision went black again.

"My great immortal child!" Shen Qiushan was truly a man who valued money over life. At this moment, when he thought of the ginseng seedling left by his father, he immediately cheered up.

Shen Qiushan sprang up with a sudden burst of energy, his eyes wide and gleaming with a fierce light, and roared, "Come with me!"

With that, Shen Qiushan strode into the depths of the woods.

The Zhao family gang was gathered here yesterday, but they didn't leave this way today.

But at this moment, Shen Qiushan was blinded by anger and pursued the road he had chosen.

The people he brought with him naturally had no objections when they saw that Shen Qiushan could accurately find traces of the Zhao family gang in such a large area of ​​mountains.

And so, Shen Qiushan led his group away.

Around 12:50 a.m., Zhao Jun carefully placed an over 80-year-old wild ginseng seedling with five leaves on the moss.

Zhang Yuanmin quickly packed the bags, and then everyone hurriedly left with their large bags on their backs.

When the eleven members of the Zhao family gang descended the mountain and entered Langcaogou, Shen Qiushan was still leading his men to wander around in the mountains.

This group of people didn't go into the mountains to graze; they went to pick a fight, so they weren't prepared at all.

After walking in the mountains all morning, everyone was exhausted and hungry. More than one person suggested going home, but Shen Qiushan refused to do so and insisted on finding the Zhao family gang.

Now, only grass remains in Langcaogou. Zhao Jun and his group crossed the ditches and ponds to find their car parked in the woods.

One by one, large bags were loaded onto the back of the Liberation truck, and everyone boarded the truck, heading straight for Lushuihe Forest Farm.

Jeeps and Jiefang trucks entered the forest farm and headed straight for the security section.

As soon as the car stopped outside the security section, Liu Yanshuang, the head of the security section, who was inside, got up and ran outside.

"Team Leader Zhao!" As soon as Liu Yanshuang stepped out of the house, he saw Zhao Jun getting out of the back seat of the jeep.

"Section Chief Liu," Zhao Jun smiled and said, "We're back!"

"Did you catch the wolves?" Liu Yanshuang asked. Zhao Jun smiled and nodded, saying, "Ten wolves, all killed."

"Oh my god!" Liu Yanshuang and the four security guards were all shocked. Among the four security guards was Shen Qiushan's cousin, Li Guoliang.

Li Guoliang frowned slightly. Last night he had heard that Shen Qiushan was going to lead men into the mountains to capture Zhao Jun and his group. But now that Zhao Jun and the others had returned, where was his cousin Shen Qiushan?

Liu Yanshuang didn't have as many messy thoughts as Li Guoliang; he warmly invited Zhao Jun into the house.

Not all of Zhao's gang members came down; only Li Baoyu, Li Ruhai, and Ma Yang followed Zhao Jun into the security section.

Once inside, Zhao Jun didn't waste any words. He gestured to Li Baoyu, who opened the small cloth bag he had brought in. Instantly, a fishy, ​​pungent smell spread out, causing Liu Yanshuang and the others to wrinkle their noses and tighten their nostrils.

At this moment, Li Baoyu turned the cloth bag upside down with both hands and poured the contents onto the table.

The upper jaws of all ten wolves were covered with layers of wood ash.

Even so, the high temperature that day caused signs of decay in the ten wolf mouths.

Although Liu Yanshuang doesn't hunt, the wolf's upper jaw, with its skin and bone intact, is easy to identify. Furthermore, a wolf's two long, sharp teeth, its upper canines, cannot be faked.

The presence of ten wolf palates is sufficient proof that the wolf pack that plagued Lushui River has been wiped out.

"Great, great!" Liu Yanshuang grasped Zhao Jun's hand, shaking it as she said, "Team Leader Zhao, thank you so much!"

After saying this, Liu Yanshuang released Zhao Jun's hand and said, "I need to call Director Zhang and tell him this good news!"

Liu Yanshuang made a phone call, and within ten minutes, Party Secretary Xu Qingyan, Production Manager Wang Guihai, and Security Manager Zhang Xudong all arrived.

After arriving at the security team, the three inspected the "mission props" and then thanked and praised Zhao Jun profusely.

Xu Qingyan even used the security department's phone to call the logistics department, asking them to prepare ingredients and notify the canteen, so that they could host a feast for the Zhao family that evening.

Zhao Jun couldn't refuse Lu Shuihe's hospitality. After returning from the security section, they temporarily settled in the guesthouse.

After entering the house, the group closed the door and secretly plotted in the outer room.

"Brother," Li Baoyu spoke first, saying to Zhao Jun, "We're all going to dinner tonight, what about our ginseng king?"

"No one can come up to this house and steal things, right? That would be too outrageous!" Although Ma Sheng was not young, he had always worked at the forest farm and was a rather simple-minded person.

“We can’t gamble that they’re all good people,” Zhao Jun said with a serious expression. “In a little while, put all those scallion buns in a bag and then put it in the jeep.”

That night, we'll drive to their canteen and park the jeep outside. Then we'll lock the car doors. I don't believe the Party Secretary and the Farm Director are inside; they wouldn't dare break into our car from the outside.”

Everyone agreed with Zhao Jun's suggestion. Just then, Li Ruhai suddenly clasped his hands in a fist salute to Zhao Jun and said, "Brother, you've been working hard for days. You should rest in your room. I'm willing to infiltrate their residential area to gather information and find out the truth!"

Upon hearing Li Ruhai's words, Zhao Jun was taken aback and asked, "What are you trying to find out?"

“Brother, think about it,” Li Ruhai said. “We haven’t seen Shen Qiushan and the others in the mountains for so many days. Maybe they never intended to cause us any trouble.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Jun blinked, feeling that Li Ruhai's words made sense.

“Ru Hai…” Zhao Jun looked up at Li Ru Hai and said, “Look, who will go with you?”

"I don't need anyone else, brother." Li Ruhai smiled faintly, saying with absolute confidence, "If you want me to do anything else, I'm in trouble. But when it comes to gathering information, I, Li Ruhai, am the boss!"

Zhao Jun believed him. Not only Zhao Jun, but everyone else nodded in agreement.

So, Zhao Jun and the others rested in the house, while Li Ruhai left the guesthouse alone and entered the family area from the forest farm.

Upon arriving at the residential area, Li Ruhai asked around for directions to the convenience store and then made his way there.

Li Ruhai entered the convenience store and saw a woman in her forties standing behind the counter, who looked like the owner.

Outside the counter stood two women in their fifties with gray hair.

Although the three women were separated by an insider and an outsider, they all rested their elbows on the counter, huddled together, and whispered among themselves.

Upon entering the room and seeing this scene, Li Ruhai immediately burst into laughter. He could tell at a glance that these three old women were getting together to talk about something.

This was Li Ruhai's forte, rather than gathering information.

Upon seeing Li Ruhai enter the house, the three of them became more subdued. The landlady even straightened up and asked Li Ruhai, "Young man, whose house are you visiting?"

“Auntie, I’m not here for a visit,” Li Ruhai said with a smile. “I came from Yong’an to help our forest farm hunt wolves.”

"Oh dear." Upon hearing Li Ruhai's words, the three women's expressions all changed. One of them, wearing a blue cloth shirt, asked directly, "Young man, have you all been killed by the wolves? I haven't heard any wolves howling since last night."

"Yes, ma'am." Seeing that the woman was old, Li Ruhai called her ma'am and said, "Of the ten wolves, not one escaped."

"Oh my!" The woman in blue clapped her hands excitedly, "That's wonderful!"

Those wolves were causing a ruckus every day, really disrupting the lives of the forestry workers. Now that they heard the wolves had been wiped out by the Zhao family gang, the three women praised Li Ruhai and the Zhao family gang to the skies.

Li Ruhai said a few words of modesty, then said to the proprietress behind the counter, "Auntie, I haven't eaten yet, could you get me two pieces of steamed rice cake, that's all..."

As Li Ruhai spoke, he saw the orange soda on the counter, grabbed a bottle, and said, "More soda, and I'll settle the bill later."

"What's the bill?" the proprietress said as she took out the steamed rice cakes. "It's on me!"

"Will that work? What kind of mess would that be?" Li Ruhai took a step back, but the proprietress waved her hand and said, "You've come all this way to help us hunt wolves, can't I afford to treat you to two pieces of steamed rice cake and a bottle of soda?"

"That won't do either." Li Ruhai shook his head and said, "Auntie, if that's how you want it to be, then I'm leaving, I'm not eating!"

With that, Li Ruhai started to walk out.

"This child... come back!" The landlady hurriedly called out to Li Ruhai as he was about to leave, "Haven't you eaten yet?"

“I can’t just eat your food for free even though I haven’t eaten,” Li Ruhai said. “You have the assets to back it up; it’s not like it grew in the ground.”

“Okay, okay, okay.” The proprietress waved her hand at Li Ruhai repeatedly and said, “Just throw two cents at me.”

After saying this, the proprietress suddenly picked up the soda and asked Li Ruhai, "This... are you going to drink it here, or take it away?"

These days, soda is recycled. Upon hearing this, Li Ruhai placed two cents on the counter and said, "I'll eat here."

"Then let me set up a table for you," the proprietress said, placing two pieces of steamed rice cake on a piece of parchment paper before stepping out from behind the counter.

The storefront faces south, with the counter against the east wall, and under the north window is a kang (heated brick bed), with a small stove at the head of the kang.

The proprietress went over, laid the kang table flat, and then called to Li Ruhai, "Come on, kid, take your dry food and sit here to eat."

Li Ruhai took the steamed rice cake and soda over and sat down on the kang (heated brick bed) to eat. After settling Li Ruhai in, the proprietress went out of the house, picked two cucumbers and two persimmons from the back garden, washed them, put them on a plate, and served them to Li Ruhai.

Li Ruhai did not refuse, but simply thanked the proprietress.

Li Ruhai ate and drank in silence, while the three women continued cricketing. Li Ruhai pricked up his ears to listen and heard the woman in the black cloth shirt say, "Qu San'er is out of options. He's half-crippled, how can he control his wife? That Liu Yanping is no good to begin with, she just relies on her brother's... hey hey."

"No way!" Upon hearing this, the man in blue tugged at the man in black and said, "Liu Yanshuang knows about his sister's situation, so he doesn't associate with Liu Yanping anymore."

"What happened to Liu Yanping?" the landlady asked. The woman in the blue dress pursed her lips and said, "You don't know? Last autumn, when there were wild boars in the fields, Xu Si shot one and gave Liu Yanping a wild boar leg. After that, Liu Yanping went to the cornfield with him."

"Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!" The woman in black smacked her lips a few times and said, "Xu Si? Shen Wanglin is so old, hunting roe deer, giving her a roe deer thigh, and then the two of them are sneaking around behind the house."

The proprietress's eyes lit up when she heard this, but after the woman in black finished speaking, she quickly waved her hands and said, "Oh dear, please don't say that, it's so embarrassing!"

No sooner had the proprietress finished speaking than someone chimed in, "There's a young widow in our village who's like that too!"

"Huh?" The three women were all startled, then their eyes widened as they looked at Li Ruhai in surprise.

Over the years, they've been gossiping about these things, whether in private or not. Even if men overheard them, none of them would talk to them, let alone Li Ruhai... who's still just a child.

But when the three looked at Li Ruhai, he stood up and said to them, “The widow in our village, her husband’s surname was Sun, died a few years ago, leaving behind his wife and child. They’ve had a hard time.”

There's a hunter in our village named Wang Dalong. This Wang Dalong, before that widow Sun's children were home, he took a few pounds of meat with him.

"Oh dear!" Hearing Li Ruhai's words, the woman in blue sighed, "It's not easy for a widow to raise a child alone."

“That’s right,” Li Ruhai chimed in. “Even a hero can be brought down by a penny, let alone a widow.”

Hearing Li Ruhai's words, the three women nodded in agreement. Then, Li Ruhai continued, "The other day when we were collecting the electricity bill, even Widow Sun couldn't pay it. And guess what happened?"

"What happened?" the three women asked in unison. Li Ruhai looked around and then said mysteriously, "She dragged that electrician Zhu out of the house, and then she closed the door and the windows."

"Oh dear!" The woman in blue frowned, while the woman in black shook her head and smacked her lips, "Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!"

The proprietress waved her hand and said, "Child, don't say that, it's embarrassing!"

Li Ruhai didn't take the landlady's words to heart. She had listened to everything before speaking, and her eyes were practically sparkling as she listened.

So Li Ruhai continued, "Auntie, madam, let me tell you, if there was nothing wrong, why did she close the windows the other day?"

The three women nodded in agreement, but Li Ruhai suddenly smiled and said, "I heard from the neighbor across the street that when she closed the window, that electrician Zhu came out in less than five minutes!"

"Hahaha..." The laughter of the three women and Li Ruhai almost overturned the convenience store.

After the laughter subsided, the woman in black asked Li Ruhai, "Hey? How old is your electrician?"

“He’s not very old,” Li Ruhai said. “He’s only twenty-one and just got married a few days ago.”

"That's terrible." The woman in black pursed her lips, and then Li Ruhai sighed and said, "The key problem now is that Wang Dalong is a relative of my older brother's side, and then there's that electrician Zhu, who's a relative of my sister-in-law's side."

"Oh my goodness!" the woman in blue remarked, scoffing. "Hey, this widow's got quite a few friends!"

"Hahaha..." Laughter broke out again, and then the woman in black said to Li Ruhai, "Your village isn't anything special, is it? Take Liu Yanping from our village, didn't I just say she was with an old man named Shen Wanglin?"

"Ah!" Li Ruhai nodded. He didn't know who Shen Wanglin was, but that didn't stop him from chatting with the woman.

Immediately afterwards, the woman in black said, "It's over, Liu Yanping is having an affair with a guy named Shen Qiushan."

"Huh?" Li Ruhai's eyes widened instantly upon hearing this. The woman in black, oblivious to Li Ruhai's unusual expression, explained to him, "This Shen Qiushan is Shen Wanglin's nephew!"

"Wow!" Li Ruhai was overjoyed, thinking that there was an unexpected bonus.

At this moment, the proprietress pulled at the woman in black and said, "Sister Wang, please stop talking, it's so embarrassing!"
