Chapter 1390 Treasure in the Mountain
A shot was fired and the semi-automatic rifle jerked backwards.
When Zhao Jun fired this shot, he handed the gun out, instead of holding it tightly against his shoulder as usual.
At this time, the recoil of the gun could hit Zhao Jun and make him vomit blood.
But Zhao Jun was prepared. He turned his body to the side and swung his hands holding the gun backwards.
The Type 56 semi-automatic rifle flew backwards from Zhao Jun's right side and landed on the snow.
Zhao Jun didn't look at the brown bear, but turned around and picked up the gun.
He shot at the brown bear's heart, and Zhao Jun believed that there would be no miss.
And the moment the brown bear fell to the ground, it was directly overwhelmed by the hunting dogs.
All eleven hunting dogs pounced on the brown bear and bit it madly.
"Woo..." The low roar of the bear was covered by the barking of dogs. Seeing one of the brown bear's hind legs trembling slightly, Li Baoyu wanted to step forward and shoot it again, but the bear's head and torso were covered with dogs.
At this moment, Xie Chen and Zhang Life arrived, Zhang Life holding a semi-automatic rifle, while Xie Chen held Hua Niuniu in his arms.
Seeing the battlefield, Hua Niuniu broke free from Jie Chen's arms, ran over with her little butt shaking and her tail sticking up, and followed her companions to bite the brown bear.
"Soldier." Zhang Lifeu came over and asked Zhao Jun, "What's wrong with the gun?"
"It's okay, Uncle Zhang." Just as Zhao Jun finished speaking, he heard Li Baoyu calling him, "Brother, this Xiong Ba seems to be dead."
"If he's dead, we'll open his stomach in a while." Zhao Jun said as he led Jie Chen and Zhang Lifeu over.
At this time, the hunting dogs are biting, and any knowledgeable hunter will let the hunting dogs vent to their heart's content.
"Brother, that shot of yours was so scary." Li Baoyu came towards Zhao Jun and said, "It scared me."
"What's the matter, Brother Li?" Upon hearing this, Jie Chen hurriedly asked Li Baoyu what happened.
Li Baoyu briefly described the thrilling incident. After listening to it, Zhang Lifeu could not help but say to Zhao Jun with some fear: "My nephew, that's too dangerous. You can't do that."
"Yeah, Uncle Zhang." Zhao Jun said with a smile, "It will be terrible next time."
Zhao Jun said so, but he actually knew that this was the bear hunting method used by the older generation.
The old hunters of Zhao Jun's grandfather's generation basically used old foreign cannons. They had to be filled with gunpowder and lead beans from the muzzle, and then they had to use something like a probe to poke inside.
It's such a pain, and you can only get one shot at anything. If you hit it, forget it, if you don't, forget it. No prey will just stand there and wait for the hunter to reload the gun before shooting.
Other prey are fine, if you can't kill them, that's it. But a blind bear is not the same, it will hit the gun. If the hunter fails to kill the bear with one shot, the bear will come back to eat him.
No one can guarantee that they can hit the target every time, especially since the old foreign cannons have poor accuracy.
Therefore, when hunting bears, experienced gunners with strong psychological qualities will lure the bears close before shooting.
Because when a bear runs towards a person, it will not pounce directly when it reaches the person. Driven by instinct, the bear will pause, then stand up and attack the person with its front paws.
At this time, if you shoot the bear from the side, you will definitely hit the bear and knock it to the ground.
When the bear is injured and falls to the ground, it gives the hunter an opportunity to run behind a tree and load the gunpowder steadily. Even if the bear gets up again, the hunter still has a chance to fire a second shot.
For an experienced gunner with good psychological quality, hunting a bear in this way may look scary, but it is actually safer.
As the four members of the Zhao army stood aside, the amplitude of the hunting dogs' biting movements gradually became smaller. Qinglong even let go of the brown bear, stood up, walked in front of Zhao Jun, and circled around him.
The hunting dogs had almost vented their emotions, mainly because they were all tired after the battle.
Some of the hunting dogs stood up and lay aside, while others still lay on the brown bear's body.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!" Only Hua Niuniu, who was carried all the way by Jie Chen, was biting the long hair on the brown bear's body very vigorously.
"Get it out of the way!" Zhao Jun pointed at Hua Niuniu and ordered his attendants. If other dogs were venting their anger and biting for half an hour, Zhao Jun would not even urge them.
But this little lazy dog is nowhere to be seen when it is time to work, and someone has to hold it in his arms while he travels.
At the command of the Zhao army, Jie Chen hurried forward, hugged the little flower bitch by the waist and pulled her aside.
"Go!" Xie Chen turned around and threw Hua Niuniu aside.
After Hua Niuniu landed, she looked up and saw the Green Dragon not far away. She swung her little butt towards it, but was bitten back by the Black Dragon.
"Brother." Li Baoyu, who was about to gut the brown bear, couldn't help but say to Zhao Jun, "Don't bring Hua Niuniu with you next time."
"That's right, Jun-ge." Xie Chen echoed, "Let my grandmother Jiang take care of it."
The Zhao family gang would never abandon a dog, not to mention that a dog that can't hunt can still guard the house.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Jun glanced at Hua Niuniu, who was lying not far from Qinglong and wagging her tail. He couldn't see at all that this little naughty dog had the potential to become a big-headed dog.
After ripping open the bear's belly and cutting its trachea, Li Baoyu grabbed the steaming bear liver and pulled it out. Everyone cried out in surprise.
Connected to the liver is a brass-colored bear gallbladder.
Copper courage!
Although the quality of brown bear bile is not as good as that of black bear bile, copper gall is worse than grass gall.
Zhao Jun took out a cloth bag from his pocket, put the bear gall in it, and then kept it close to his body.
Then, the four began to cut meat to feed the dogs.
When cutting the meat, Zhao Jun specifically told the man to slice the meat along the edge of the knife.
"Uncle Zhang." Zhao Jun said to Zhang Lifeu while feeding the dog, "You have a share of this bear gall. When we get home, I'll ask my mom to give you 500 yuan."
"No, no, no!" Zhang Life waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Jun Na, I don't want those. If you want to give, a hundred and eighty will be enough."
"Uncle Zhang, it's not like that." Zhao Jun said, "You didn't come with me those few times, so it was just like that. Now that you've come with me this time, I'm sure you'll have a share."
As Zhao Jun was talking, Zhang Lifeu still waved his hand to refuse, and then he heard Zhao Jun say: "Okay, Uncle Zhang, don't tear it. What do you want to say to me? I won't give you this Xiong Ba's meat. I want to take it as a gift."
"You don't have to give me anything." Zhang Lifeu said, "We men don't have those words."
"That won't work either." Zhao Jun said with a smile, "What should be given must still be given."
After the four men fed the dogs, Jie Chen and Zhang Lifeu took out ropes and tied the brown bear's legs, and then the four of them worked together to pull the brown bear down the mountain.
Xiong, Gou, and Jie Chen got in the car, Li Baoyu drove, Zhao Jun and Zhang Lifei sat in the passenger seat, and they returned to Yong'an.
It was almost twelve o'clock when we returned to Yong'antun.
As the car stopped at the gate, Zhao Jun called Zhang Lifu and said, "Uncle Zhang, it's noon. Eat at home before going back."
"No, no." Zhang Life shook his hands, then backed out of the car and said, "I have to go back. I have things to do at home."
"Uncle, you're just making a fuss." Zhao Jun got out of the car and grabbed Zhang Lifu and said, "We're already at the doorstep, are you still leaving without eating?"
"I really don't want to eat, Jun." Zhang Life refused again and said, "I've been out all morning, I have to go back quickly. Your aunt's arm is not working well, so she can't do anything well."
"But don't we still have my brother and the others? Besides, do you need a little while longer?" Zhao Jun knew that Zhang Lifeu was unwilling to enter the house because his clothes and pants were dirty and he was afraid of getting the Zhao family's kang dirty.
"Jun, there are a lot of things going on at home." Zhang Lifeu still refused, and at this time Wang Qiang brought someone out.
Zhao Jun thought the man looked familiar, and Zhang Lifu beside him raised his hand to greet him, saying, "Fourth brother, why are you here?"
"I'm here to sell furs." Shi Lao Si replied with a smile, and then asked Zhang Lifu, "What have you been doing?"
Zhang Lifu gestured to Zhao Jun, then said to Shi Laosi, "I'm going up the mountain with my nephew."
"Ah..." Shi Lao Si looked at Zhao Jun, then looked at Wang Qiang and said, "This is the son of Old Zhao's second brother, right?"
"Yeah." Wang Qiang replied with a smile: "This is my eldest nephew."
Zhao Jun smiled and nodded to Shi Laosi. Wang Qiang pointed at Li Baoyu and introduced him to Shi Laosi, saying, "This is the eldest son of my brother Li from the west courtyard."
"Oh my!" Shi Lao Si looked at Li Baoyu and said, "This child is so tall!"
"You should call him Fourth Uncle." Wang Qiang introduced Shi Lao Si to Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu, saying, "This is Old Xu Pao's nephew."
How can the nephew of Old Xu Pao Xu Changlin have the surname Shi?
But after hearing Wang Qiang's introduction, Zhao Jun knew who this person was.
He had heard Xu Changlin mention that Shi Baofeng's father, Xu Changyou, was Xu Changlin's uncle and was known as the best fighter in Shibadaogangzi.
It is said that when Xu Changyou was young, he would go down the mountain with ten traps. If he caught nine yellow leaves, it would be considered a failure.
In local dialect, it is called: one spoonful for one.
The tail of a weasel is called wolf hair, which is a high-quality material for making brushes. Therefore, from ancient times to the present, weasel tails have never had trouble selling yellow leaves.
When Xu Changyou was at his peak, he could make three or four hundred yellow leaves in a winter. Matchmakers came to his house to propose marriages, and he could choose girls from all over the country.
But such a capable person ended up being penniless after getting married.
why?
The couple got married and gave birth to a big fat boy the second year, but the child was born blind.
While the couple took their child to seek medical treatment and medicine, they gave birth to their second child.
The second child is still a boy, and he was born blind.
Afterwards, the couple took their two children to seek medical treatment while giving birth to their third child.
The third child was also a boy, but he was also born blind.
This time the couple did not seek medical treatment or medicine. Instead, they turned to the surgeon, or rather, to see a fortune teller.
The witch in Yong'an at that time was not the current Mrs. Han, but the Mrs. Han of the previous generation, who was the mother-in-law of the current Mrs. Han.
After the previous generation's Mrs. Han showed Xu Changyou the picture, she directly said that he had offended the Huang family and the retribution came to his child.
As the old saying goes, you won’t get rich by hunting, and you can’t keep the money you earn by killing people.
Especially those who fight against Hu Huang.
Even if you make money, you will lose it in the end.
Just like Wei Tie, he earns 1,800 yuan a year by picking yellow leaves. But when he came to Zhao's house to buy black bear's radish two years ago, he didn't even have ten yuan in his pocket, and he only paid it back last year.
Two years ago, Wang Meilan also advised Wei Tie, but Wei Tie didn't listen.
But Xu Changyou listened to the advice, and since then he never made any money from the mountains again.
A year later, when his fourth son was born, according to the instructions of the previous generation Mrs. Han, the child took his mother's surname Shi, that is, Shi Baofeng who is now standing in front of Zhao Jun.
I don’t know if it’s because Xu Changyou retired from the underworld or if changing his surname worked, but Shi Baofeng is definitely not blind.
And many years later, he inherited the skills of his father Xu Changyou and went up the mountain to set up small traps.
But Shi Baofeng didn't hit Huang Ye Zi. Not only that, he would stay away from weasels when he saw them on the road.
He sets traps to catch sables, which is not harmful and can make money.
Wang Qiang asked Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu to call Shi Baofeng "Fourth Uncle". Normally, the relationship between the two families was not that close. But Shi Baofeng's surname was problematic. His sons were all surnamed Xu, so it was unclear whether Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu should call him Fourth Uncle Shi or Fourth Uncle Xu.
"Fourth Uncle." Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu shouted in unison. Shi Baofeng smiled and said, "Good boy, good boy."
As he spoke, Shi Baofeng raised his hand and pointed at Zhao Jun, and said with a smile: "Baoshan and I have a good relationship and we always drink together. He keeps talking about you to me all day long."
Zhao Jun laughed when he heard this. The Baoshan mentioned by Shi Baofeng was Zhao Jun's old boss Xu Baoshan. Normally, Shi Baofeng should be called Xu Baofeng. He and Xu Baoshan were uncles, but their names both had the character Bao.
"Fourth brother, just in time." At this time, Wang Qiang raised his hand and gently touched Shi Baofeng, then gestured to Zhao Jun and said, "My eldest nephew is back. Can you come in and sit with us for a while?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Baofeng tilted his head and glanced at Wang Qiang, then asked, "Does the boy have the final say?"
"Okay." Wang Qiang said, "Fourth brother, my eldest nephew is young, but most of this family fortune was earned by him."
"I've heard of this." Shi Baofeng glanced at Zhao Jun and said, "It's said in all the villages that the eldest son of my second brother Zhao is the best at making money."
When saying this, Shi Baofeng felt a little sad. Zhao Jun's reputation now is no less than that of his father Xu Changyou in the past.
"Fourth Uncle." Zhao Jun saw Wang Qiang winking at him and immediately asked Shi Baofeng, "Did you bring the treasure with you?"
"I feel like it's a treasure." Shi Baofeng stared at Zhao Jun and smiled, "Haha, but. Whether others recognize it or not, I can't guarantee it."
Hearing him say this, Zhao Jun smiled and said, "Fourth Uncle, let's go into the house and let your nephew open his eyes and see what's going on."
Both of them kept a low profile, which created a very good atmosphere.
"Qiangzi, let's go back?" Shi Baofeng asked Wang Qiang. Wang Qiang quickly held his arm and said, "Let's go, Fourth Brother. Originally, my sister and I said that you can have lunch here."
It can be seen that although the deal was not made, the friendship was not damaged at all.
"Uncle Zhang." At this time, Zhao Jun did not forget Zhang Lifeu. He called Zhang Lifeu and said, "Let's go inside together."
"I'm not going, Jun." Zhang Lifeu dodged Zhao Jun's hand, stepped back, and said, "I have to go back quickly, I have things to do at home."
Seeing Zhang Lifu's insistence, Zhao Jun said helplessly: "Uncle Zhang, wait for me for a while, I'll go into the house and get it for you."
Zhao Jun did not say it clearly in front of Shi Baofeng.
"Jun Na, no need to take it." Zhang Life waved his hand and said, "Keep it with you first, and we'll talk about it later when we're done."
After saying that, Zhang Lifeu turned and left.
"Uncle Zhang, please slow down." Zhao Jun had other things to do, so he didn't try to keep Zhang Lifeu.
After watching Zhang Lifu leave, Zhao Jun unbuttoned his cotton monkey, took out the cloth bag containing the bear gall from his inner pocket, and handed it to Li Baoyu. After Li Baoyu and Jie Chen settled the twelve dogs, they returned to Li's house to boil water and dip the bear gall.
Then, Zhao Jun caught up with Wang Qiang and Shi Baofeng who were walking in front of the house.
The three of them entered the house together. Wang Meilan came out to greet them and said to Shi Baofeng with a smile, "Old Four, you said you had to leave in a hurry."
"Sister, there are a lot of things going on at home." Shi Baofeng's refusal was similar to Zhang Life's. And judging from the way he addressed Wang Meilan, Shi Baofeng knew Wang Meilan in his early years.
"Okay, okay." Wang Meilan smiled and said, "When my son comes back, you can take out the skin and let him have a look."
After Wang Meilan finished speaking, Wang Qiang invited Shi Baofeng into the east room. After sitting on the kang, Shi Baofeng unbuttoned his cotton-padded jacket and saw that there was a large pocket sewn on one side of his jacket, and both pockets were bulging.
Shi Baofeng reached out and took out a white leather tube, which immediately shocked Zhao Jun so much that his eyes widened.
Brothers, no more updates today, 8 words tomorrow afternoon
Then I went to the city for a follow-up check to check my kidney stones. If they are still there, I will break them up again.
You can't wait until it hurts before you go, or you'll suffer.
