Chapter 1317: A Hand in Hand vs. A Piece of Cake
Although the leaves have fallen in winter, the thick trunks of the poplar forests still block people's view.
As the black tiger ran into the poplar forest, the dogs that had not been able to fight started to howl anxiously, and the howling was so disturbing that it made it impossible to hear what was going on in the forest.
"Baoyu!" Zhao Jun waved his big hand to Li Baoyu. Li Baoyu held the scoop net in one hand and the big iron pick and the long pole hook in the other, and ran towards the poplar forest with big strides.
Seeing that Li Baoyu was about to reach the forest, Zhao Jun called out to Zhao Ziyang, "Brother Ziyang!"
Zhao Ziyang is a seventh-rank official in the prime minister's office. As Chu Anmin's secretary, he is also an extraordinary figure in the Forestry Bureau.
He didn't take the managers of the subordinate forest districts or small forest districts seriously. In a large forest district like Yong'an, only the secretary and the three managers could talk to him.
Zhao Ziyang would not pay attention to a team leader like Zhao Jun, or a deputy at that, unless he had strong family connections.
Zhao Jun's family has strong connections, but only in Yong'an Forest District, but Zhao Jun himself is strong. The most important thing is that Zhao Ziyang's boss is proud of Zhao Jun.
Whoever you serve the bowl to has to look at their mood.
According to Zhao Ziyang's observation and analysis, with Zhao Jun's ability and his relationships with Zhao Weipeng and Tao Dabao, Zhao Jun's words in front of Director Chu are definitely more effective than those of himself as a secretary.
So, taking advantage of the banquet at Zhao's house yesterday, Zhao Ziyang and Zhao Jun became brothers.
"Hey!" Hearing Zhao Jun calling him, Zhao Ziyang responded happily, then pulled the rope and released Huang Long.
Without any restraints, the yellow dragon leaped out, keeping its body low, and ran quickly into the forest.
At this time in the poplar forest, a black tiger was chasing a gray fox.
The gray fox is like a ball and looks very fat, but in fact it is because the temperature is low in winter, so it changes into a thick and dense coat of fur in the autumn.
This fox weighs about twelve or thirteen pounds, which is considered big among foxes.
But compared with the black tiger, it is not even a fraction of a hundred of the black tiger's weight.
But being small has its advantages.
The gray fox was very agile and could move around in many ways. It could get through small gaps between trees, but the black tiger couldn't.
So, the gray fox has been teasing the black tiger, leading the black tiger around in circles.
But with Huang Long joining in and the two dogs cooperating in blocking the fight, the gray fox could no longer bear it.
It was a local resident and was familiar with the terrain of the forest. So when it went around a poplar tree, the gray fox disappeared in an instant.
It turned out that under the poplar tree, there seemed to be a hole that the badger had not finished digging at the root of the tree. When the gray fox got there, it dived right in.
After diving in, the gray fox twisted its body, with the back of its head and back against the inner wall of the tree hole, and its mouth and four paws facing the hole entrance.
The black tiger arrived in front of the cave and thrust his dog's mouth into the hole, and the gray fox slapped it with its paw.
If the dog was more naive, it would have been hit, but the black tiger tried to put its head into the hole with its mouth, and when it felt that its head couldn't go in, it immediately withdrew.
Then, the black tiger used its claws to dig at the entrance of the cave.
After digging twice, the black tiger stopped because the ground was frozen in winter and it couldn't dig anymore.
At this time, Huang Long and Li Baoyu came one after another.
The entrance to the cave was dark, and the fox's keen sense of smell detected a strange scent.
Then, a sharp hook poked in, and the fox scratched with its front paws and kicked with its hind paws, screaming.
It originally thought that there were only two dogs, otherwise they would not have gone into the dead end. Now that it had run into this place, the gray fox had no chance of escaping.
Li Baoyu felt that there was indeed something in the cave, but the cave project was not completed. The entrance of the cave was large and the cave was shallow. When the hook was inserted into the cave, the fox would not bite the hook like the badger would.
But Li Baoyu was not in a hurry to call for help, because when he went to Zhang Yuanmin's house to get something, Zhang Yuanmin asked him what he wanted to borrow the weapon for, and Li Baoyu said he wanted to catch a fox.
Then, Zhang Yuanmin asked him to come forward and whisper in his ear.
Thinking of what Zhang Yuanmin had told him, Li Baoyu murmured, "After my elder brother Zhang lay on the kang, he became more and more capable in doing things.
After muttering, Li Baoyu stood up, put the hook aside, turned around, pulled out the knife from his waist, and chopped off five poplar branches in a row.
Li Baoyu took the thickest part of each poplar branch and carved out five kabbalah sticks in no time.
"Go! Go!" Li Baoyu returned to the tree and stretched out his hand to push away the black tiger and the yellow dragon.
The hunting dogs were smart and knew they couldn't catch the fox, so when people pushed them, they retreated to the side.
Li Baoyu first placed the scoop net next to the tree hole so that he could reach it with his hand.
Then, Li Baoyu took the Kabbalah stick and pushed it hard into the hole.
The V-shaped head of the Kabbalah stick was not big, and the opening angle was about 100 degrees. Li Baoyu pressed it hard against the gray fox, and the gray fox struggled violently, accompanied by screams.
Li Baoyu twisted the Kabbalah stick hard, and the V-shaped head against the fox turned. During the rotation, the V-shaped head tightly twisted a tuft of fox hair.
"Ahhh..." The gray fox in the cave let out a heart-wrenching scream, but in fact it was not in much pain. It was mainly out of fear.
Li Baoyu raised his toes, stepped on the handle of the stick, then took another Kabbalah stick and repeated the previous action.
Soon, five Kabbalah sticks were twisted around the gray fox, and no matter how hard the gray fox tried to grab or kick, it couldn't get rid of the Kabbalah sticks.
At this time, Li Baoyu remembered Zhao Jun's instructions. He took out a bullet whistle from his pocket and blew it repeatedly.
"Director Chu!" Hearing the whistle, Zhao Jun said to Chu Anmin, "Take it down, let's go over."
"Are we still going over there?" Chu Anmin, who had been staying here for a long time, pointed at the fox holes on the desolate ground and asked, "We can just dig through these holes and be done with it."
"No, Director Chu." Zhao Jun said hurriedly: "Baoyu must have his reasons for inviting us. Let's go over and take a photo of you as a souvenir."
"Hmm?" Chu Anmin's eyes lit up. He didn't know when Director Chu started to like taking pictures. But when he went to other forest areas, even when walking through the forest, Chu Anmin had no desire to take pictures.
Because of the mountains and forests, he has seen a lot.
But as soon as Zhao Jun mentioned it, Chu Anmin instantly became interested and turned to look at Zhao Ziyang.
When Zhao Ziyang saw the director looking at him, he smiled and nodded to Chu Anmin.
Chu Anmin curled his lips subconsciously, which made Zhao Ziyang stunned. Fortunately, Zhao Jun reminded him, "Brother Ziyang, hurry up and get the camera."
"Hey! Hey!" Zhao Ziyang came back to his senses, responded hurriedly twice, and then ran towards the jeep.
At this time, Zhao Jun turned around, pressed down with one palm, and said to Qinglong, Heilong, and Xiaohua: "Wait here!"
After that, Zhao Jun reminded Jie Chen again, "Little minister, you stay and look after the dog!"
"Hey!" Xie Chen agreed readily. He had no interest in catching foxes at all.
Zhao Jun and Chu Anmin were in front, and Song Zhiyuan followed two steps behind. At this time, Zhao Ziyang came over with a camera and said to Chu Anmin with a smile: "Director Chu, I will take pictures for you later!"
"Also?" Being reminded by Zhao Ziyang, Chu Anmin remembered the photos Zhao Ziyang took of him after the Transit Tiger and the King Bear were sent to the Forestry Bureau.
"Give it to me, you!" Chu Anmin snatched the camera and subconsciously wanted to give it to Zhao Jun, but his hand stopped.
Chu Anmin didn't do that directly because he was afraid that Zhao Ziyang would develop a rift with the Zhao army.
The four of them entered the woods, two in front and two behind. Black Tiger and Yellow Dragon both ran towards the Zhao army, running forward and behind to accompany them.
"Director Chu!" Seeing Chu Anmin coming, Li Baoyu greeted his leader happily.
"Hey!" Chu Anmin nodded and said with emotion: "This big guy is so good!"
Li Baoyu is tall and looks like an average person, but he has a sturdy build and looks particularly majestic.
Hearing the director praising him, Li Baoyu laughed and said, "Director Chu, we got it!"
"Huh?" Chu Anmin was startled, his eyes falling down to the five poplar sticks under Li Baoyu's feet.
At this time, Li Baoyu squatted down, gathered the five poplar sticks together with his hands, then smiled at Chu Anmin and said, "Director Chu, if you pull these sticks, the fox will come out."
"Really?" Chu Anmin walked quickly forward, came to the tree, bent down, tilted his head and looked into the hole.
It was dark in the cave, and Chu Anmin could only see a pair of amber eyes glowing faintly.
Chu Anmin had been a soldier, so he was not afraid of this. But when he just reached out to take the stick, Zhao Jun shouted from behind: "Director Chu, wait a minute!"
"Ah?" Chu Anmin turned around and asked anxiously, "What's going on, Zhao Jun?"
"Director Chu!" Zhao Jun was tying up the dog with a rope at that moment. Seeing Chu Anmin coming, Zhao Jun hurriedly said, "I'll take a picture of you when you pull the fox out. Take it back and show it to your wife and daughter, so they know that you beat the fox for them with your own hands!"
"Well! This works!" Chu Anmin's eyes brightened when he heard it.
On the way here, Zhao Jun suggested to kill more foxes. Then he asked Chu Anmin to pick two and go back to make scarves for his daughter and his wife.
When Chu Anmin heard this, he immediately thought of giving his wife a surprise after the scarf was finished. How happy she would be.
Now Zhao Jun gave him another good suggestion. Gifts are given with sincerity. What could better express the love for his wife and daughter than a scarf made by Director Chu himself from a fox?
Chu Anmin became happier the more he thought about it. He pointed at Zhao Jun and shook his finger twice, saying, "You! I told you to transfer to the bureau, but you refused to do it!"
"Haha." Zhao Jun smiled and said, "Director Chu, I won't go. I'm in the mountains. If you need anything or want to eat anything, just tell me and I can arrange it for you."
Zhao Jun made it so comfortable to say no. When Chu Anmin turned to look at Zhao Ziyang and Song Zhiyuan, he waved his hand and said, "What are you two looking at? Help Zhao Jun lead the dog!"
After saying that, Chu Anmin raised his hand and took off the camera from his neck, and called Zhao Jun, "Zhao Jun, come over and take a picture for me."
"Okay, Director Chu." Zhao Jun agreed, then handed the rope in his hand to Zhao Ziyang and Song Zhiyuan, and nodded slightly to them to express his apology.
Zhao Ziyang and Song Zhiyuan both nodded heavily to show that they understood.
"Brother Zi Yang, you have to hold on to this dog!" Seeing Zhao Zi Yang taking the rope that tied Hei Hu, Zhao Jun hurriedly reminded him.
"Yes, Zhao Jun, I know." Zhao Ziyang took the rope and said with a smile: "How can you not pull a dog? Isn't this a piece of cake?"
"Huh?" Zhao Jun was stunned. This was the first time he heard these words, but the tone of voice made him feel familiar.
"Zhao Jun, come quickly!" Chu Anmin was still anxious and urged Zhao Jun.
Zhao Jun responded, ran to Chu Anmin, took the camera and turned it on.
"Director Chu, please pull it slowly!" Zhao Jun first picked up the camera and tried it, then held the camera in one hand, pointed at the hole with the other, and said to Chu Anmin: "Pull the fox here, and I will take a picture of you when the edge is exposed.
It's over, don't move. I'll say one, two, three, and when I say two, you pull it out with all your strength. You'll lift it up like that, and I'll hit it when I say three."
"Ah! Okay!" Chu Anmin nodded and said with a smile: "Then I'll pull it out!"
"Slow down, Director Chu!" Zhao Jun first told Director Chu to show his concern, and then called Li Baoyu and said, "Baoyu, you hold the scoop net and watch it. Don't let Director Chu bite you if you don't do it well."
"Don't worry, brother... I can't let it bite Director Chu!" Li Baoyu was well-educated and was very good at saying nice things. After he finished speaking, he picked up a stick and stood guard at the side.
Chu Anmin clenched the five poplar sticks together with both hands and slowly pulled them out.
Zhao Jun was on his left, holding a camera; Li Baoyu was on his right, holding a stick.
Zhao Ziyang and Song Zhiyuan looked at each other when they saw this scene. They felt jealous but were more relieved at the same time.
Fortunately, Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu did not go into the city. Otherwise, what would they do with just one secretary and one driver?
As Chu Anmin pulled, the gray fox in the cave screamed heart-wrenchingly.
At this time, its head was facing into the hole, and its buttocks were facing outwards. Three of the five kabbalah sticks were twisted on its belly.
The other two were twisted around the neck and the base of the tail. The five large tufts of hair were twisted and pulled out like this, and the gray fox could neither break free nor pull Chu Anmin away.
It was Chu Anmin’s first time to pull a fox, but he had fished before, so he used a little strength to struggle with the fox to avoid pulling off its fur.
The entire fox, from the neck to the base of the tail, was controlled, so the first thing that came out of the gray fox were the four little paws holding the poplar stick.
The gray fox sensed danger and kept scratching the stick with its claws.
"Okay, okay!" Chu Anmin reminded Zhao Jun and stopped his hands.
"Director Chu, just pull it out a little bit more." Zhao Jun behind the camera gave the command, saying, "Don't let it bite you."
Chu Anmin didn't say anything, but nodded slightly, and then heard a crisp "click" sound from the other side.
"Director Chu, get ready!" After taking a photo, Zhao Jun adjusted it so that Chu Anmin's upper body could appear in the camera.
"One, two! Three!" Immediately afterwards, as Zhao Jun shouted one, two, three, Chu Anmin used both arms to lift the gray fox into the air.
This scared the fox, and it kept squeaking.
Next, it was Li Baoyu's turn to take the scoop net, scoop up the fox in it, and then hit it against the tree, causing the fox's internal organs to be damaged and die.
In this way, the leather can be protected from damage as much as possible.
But at this moment, I heard a cry of "Oh my god!"
A gust of evil wind rushed towards Chu Anmin!
When the gray fox came out of the cave, the black tiger and the yellow dragon kept shouting. When the Zhao army shouted three, Chu Anmin lifted up the gray fox, and the black tiger jumped up high, and Zhao Ziyang couldn't hold it anymore.
The moment the hemp rope slipped out of his hand, his palm felt burning with pain.
"Aoao!" The black tiger leaped in front of Chu Anmin and stood up.
The black tiger didn't pounce on Chu Anmin, but it scared Chu Anmin. What the hell? A big black shadow is coming over.
Chu Anmin was frightened and moved his arm, subconsciously wanting to hit it. But as his arm sank, the black tiger opened its mouth and snatched the gray fox away.
"Hey!" Zhao Jun shouted, and the black tiger ran away. After running behind a poplar tree, he arched his back and shook his head vigorously.
The dog's head shook, and the gray fox was swung along with it. Zhao Jun and others watched as clumps of fur fell off the gray fox.
