Chapter 1095 Black Heart
Today, Zhao's father and son took their dogs up the mountain and took all the brave warriors out of the house, leaving only three red dogs in the yard to bask in the sun.
Since the three mother and son arrived at the Zhao family, the food they ate was completely different from what it was like at Hong Yuntao's house.
It is inevitable that you will be biased towards whoever you eat. Three red dogs, one big and two small, stood outside the doghouse, stretching their necks and howling at Zheng Linying and Su Xiurong.
The entire Yong'an Forest District knew that the Zhao family's dog was very powerful, so Zheng Linying and Su Xiurong did not dare to enter without permission.
At this time, the door of Zhao's house was pushed open from the inside, and Wang Meilan and Jin Xiaomei walked out.
Wang Meilan didn't bring so many people with her. She didn't believe Zheng Linying would dare to do anything rash in her home.
As they walked in the yard, Wang Meilan shouted twice, and the three red dogs turned around and ran towards her. But when they got close to Wang Meilan, the mother and the three dogs turned around together and barked even more fiercely towards the outside of the yard gate.
This is called a dog taking advantage of the power of its master, and it is also the dog showing off in front of its master.
"Go back." With Wang Meilan's soft shout, the three dogs went back to their den.
"Aunt Zhao, Aunt Li." Zheng Linying greeted Wang Meilan and Jin Xiaomei. Su Xiurong had just moved here with her husband this year to live with her eldest sister-in-law. She was quite familiar with Li Ruhai, but she was only a nod-to-nod acquaintance with Wang Meilan and Jin Xiaomei. When she came to Zhao's house, she just smiled and nodded to the two of them.
"Xiao Yingzi! You two sisters, come in." Wang Meilan went to the gate of the courtyard and called Zheng Linying and Su Xiurong. The four of them went into the east room of the Zhao family. Seeing everyone in the room staring at her with unfriendly eyes, Zheng Linying couldn't help feeling guilty.
Especially that nameless outsider, the little old lady whose husband's surname was Jie, her covetous gaze made Zheng Linying feel more pressured.
"Oh, Electrician Zhu is here too?" Zheng Linying greeted Zhu Jiang, trying to ease the atmosphere.
"Mrs. Chen." Zhu Jiang greeted Zheng Linying with a smile, then pointed to the color TV that was playing red songs and red dances and said to Zheng Linying, "Isn't there a TV at Aunt Zhao's house? I'll come over to give them a hand."
"Oh my..." Zheng Linying had been hearing the noise from the TV since she came in, but she had been observing the person and the child in the room. Now, when she looked in the direction Zhu Jiang pointed, Zheng Linying couldn't take her eyes away.
At this time, eighteen singers on TV stood in two rows and sang "We'll Never Forget the Elderly's Kindness" together. The melodious singing instantly attracted everyone's attention.
For a moment, they forgot about the children's quarrel and possible conflicts, and all stared at the screen intently.
……
In the forestry guesthouse in the small town at the foot of the mountain, Zhao Weipeng sat cross-legged on the single bed, touching the grayish-white leopard skin.
Zheng Xuekun, who was standing next to him, bowed slightly and said, "Boss Zhao, make the bed for it, and then you sit on it."
Hearing what Zheng Xuekun said, Zhao Weipeng's eyes lit up, holding the leopard skin in his hand and asked Zheng Xuekun: "What's the story behind this?"
"Boss Zhao, please sit down first and I will tell you." Zheng Xuekun patiently guided Zhao Weipeng.
Zhao Weipeng glanced at Zheng Xuekun and then stood up from the bed.
Zheng Xuekun took the leopard skin from Zhao Weipeng in a servile manner, spread it on the bed for Zhao Weipeng, and stroked it with his hand affectionately.
Then, Zheng Xuekun gestured to Zhao Weipeng to sit down. Zhao Weipeng glanced at Zheng Xuekun, then turned his head to look at the leopard skin spread on the bed, and then sat on it.
"Congratulations, Boss Zhao." Zheng Xuekun clasped his fists and congratulated Zhao Weipeng: "This is called waiting to get rich."
"Huh?" Zhao Weipeng's eyes lit up and he looked at Zheng Xuekun with surprise, then stood up and picked up the leopard skin.
Zhao Weipeng touched the golden spots on the leopard skin, turned to look at Zhao Weipeng and said, "I want this."
"As long as Boss Zhao likes it." Zheng Xuekun smiled and said, "I collected this leather from the mountains. I haven't seen a single piece of it in twenty years."
"That's right." Zhao Weipeng nodded slightly and said, "My comrade-in-arms is the top leader in the Forestry Bureau, and he has never seen a Siberian leopard."
"Boss Zhao." Zheng Xuekun interrupted Zhao Weipeng with a smile and corrected him, "This is called a golden leopard."
"Ah! Yes, yes!" Zhao Weipeng smiled and changed his words: "Golden Leopard, are you waiting to get rich?"
At this point, Zhao Weipeng held the leopard skin in his hand and asked Zheng Xuekun, "How much do you want to sell it to me?"
"Well... Boss Zhao, I won't lie to you either." Zheng Xuekun looked serious and said to Zhao Weipeng, "I paid 80,000 yuan for two..."
"Huh?" Zhao Weipeng was startled when he heard that, then he widened his eyes and said, "You just said that you haven't seen one in twenty years? You collected two in this one!"
"No, Boss Zhao." Zheng Xuekun explained calmly, "This one is made of silver. The leather is intact. I haven't seen anything like this in 20 years."
Zhao Weipeng was aroused by Zheng Xuekun's curiosity and asked Zheng Xuekun: "What does the one you collected look like?"
"That one is gold." Zheng Xuekun raised his hand and gestured, "They said, one gold and one silver is called a house full of gold and silver."
"A house full of gold and silver?" Zhao Weipeng looked at the leopard skin in his hand and asked, "Hey? When you said that, I just realized why it turned white."
"This is drawn in winter." Zheng Xuekun explained: "If drawn in other seasons, it will be gold. These two together represent the four seasons of the year."
At this point, Zheng Xuekun immediately added: "All year round, just sit back and wait for your fortune to be filled with gold and silver!"
"Okay!" Zhao Weipeng looked at Zheng Xuekun and asked, "Where's your gold one?"
"I didn't bring the gold one." Zheng Xuekun said, "It's at my eldest brother-in-law's house. The gold one has a bullet hole. Although it's not a big bullet hole, but I want to bring it to Boss Zhao, so I have to bring the good ones, right?"
"What are you doing?" Zhao Weipeng waved his hand at Zheng Xuekun and said, "If you don't have anything else to do, go back and get it. If I find something I like, I'll buy a bunch for you."
"That's great." Zheng Xuekun bowed slightly and said with a smile: "Boss Zhao, you and Boss Chen, you are friends, I can't fool you. The gold one is from a female leopard. This one is from a male leopard, so it is two circles smaller than this one."
"It's okay." Zhao Weipeng said, "Go get it."
"I can't make it back today." Zheng Xuekun said, "I'll come over early tomorrow morning, is that okay?"
"Okay." Zhao Weipeng was a very straightforward person and agreed immediately. However, when he wanted to return the leopard skin to Zheng Xuekun, Zheng Xuekun refused.
"Boss Zhao, don't I trust you?" Zheng Xuekun smiled and pushed the leopard skin back, saying, "Please sit on this one and make money first. I'll send the other one to you tomorrow."
Seeing that Zheng Xuekun was so sensible, Zhao Weipeng did not refuse his kindness. After Zheng Xuekun came out of the guesthouse, he went to the Muslim restaurant opposite and found Zheng Donghai who was drinking mutton soup.
"A bowl of mutton soup and four pies." Zheng Xuekun shouted to the kitchen and sat down opposite Zheng Donghai.
Seeing that Zheng Xuekun had nothing in his hands, Zheng Donghai showed joy and asked, "Dad, have you sold the leather?"
"Yeah." Zheng Xuekun nodded with a smile and said, "Son, this time we two are going to pay for it."
As he spoke, Zheng Xuekun gestured to Zheng Donghai and announced the good news to his son: "At least 100,000 yuan."
"How much?" Zheng Donghai thought he had misheard, stared at Zheng Xuekun with wide eyes and asked, "Dad, why is the leather so expensive?"
"Two." Zheng Xuekun said with a smile, "I bought these two skins for 80,000 yuan. I worked so hard, so I should earn a little."
"Oh my?" Zheng Donghai was surprised and happy, and said, "Dad, I can make 70,000 yuan just by selling it."
"Then what are you thinking about?" Zheng Xuekun said to Zheng Donghai proudly, "What do you think, son? Yesterday you were envious of Zhao Erdong and Widow Wang's family. Dad told you that they earned their money through hard work, climbing mountains and crossing rivers and working hard. How can they compare with us?"
……
The father and son who Zheng Xuekun described as the hardworking people were resting in front of a house at this time.
This small house that is about to collapse was an early explosives warehouse. In the past, two small houses were specially built on the mountain because explosives were indispensable for road construction. There was originally a detonator warehouse opposite the explosives warehouse, but after the two small warehouses were abandoned, the detonator warehouse was destroyed by autumn wind and rain after being idle for many years.
With the help of the Dog Gang, Zhao Jun and Zhao Youcai arrived earlier than Wang Qiang and Jie Chen.
The father and son rested here and shared the provisions they brought, which were large pancakes. The hunting dogs were watching them eagerly, but the father and son could not feed the dogs no matter how much they loved them.
There was no other way. With only four pancakes, two each would be enough to fill the father and son. But if they were to be shared among the eight dogs, the four pancakes would not even be enough to fill them even 30% full.
Suddenly, the hunting dogs barked twice towards the north, and Erhei, Bailong and Qing Laohu ran a few steps towards that direction.
"Brother-in-law!"
"My uncle!" Hearing Wang Qiang's voice, Zhao Jun quickly stood up. At this time, Zhao Youcai shouted in response: "Qiangzi, come up."
In less than five minutes, Wang Qiang and Jie Chen appeared in front of the Zhao family father and son. They wore their hats askew, their faces flushed, and their cotton jackets were open.
"Brother-in-law." Wang Qiang complained when he saw Zhao Youcai: "The snow is too heavy. It's too hard to walk."
Zhao Youcai narrowed his eyes slightly, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Wang Qiang ask, "Can a dog dodge when you hit a black bear?"
After hearing what Wang Qiang said, Zhao Youcai frowned, thought for two seconds, then turned to look at Zhao Jun.
The snow was too heavy, and hunting dogs could not dodge the attacks of black bears during a fight, so they were easily injured.
But if people don’t bring a dog, it will be difficult to find a black bear in this environment.
"Let's go up there." Zhao Jun raised his head and said, "Isn't there a stone pond there? Let's take the dog up there and paddle around. If we succeed, that'll count. If we fail, that's fine."
"That's fine!" Zhao Youcai glanced up and nodded, "I'll be in the front when the time comes, and I'll go up quickly after that. As long as I get there, the black bear won't be able to escape!"
"Brother-in-law!" Hearing what Zhao Youcai said, Wang Qiang retorted: "How can you run fast? It's snowing so hard, can you run?"
Every hunter who goes out to hunt dogs wishes he could grow wings and fly away when his dogs are fighting wild beasts.
But the reality is that mountain roads are difficult to travel on, especially in winter when there is so much snow that it is difficult for people to walk. No one can go faster than they want.
"Ha." Zhao Youcai chuckled, glanced at Wang Qiang, and said, "I'll show you later."
As he said that, Zhao Youcai stuffed the remaining pancake into his pocket and whistled.
When the whistle sounded, all eight dogs looked at him, but only Erhei, Bailong and Huanglong stood up.
Zhao Youcai put his fingers in his mouth, puffed up his cheeks and whistled.
Seeing that he was a family member after all, Qinglong and Heilong had to give him face. Seeing them stand up, Xiaohua also stood up.
Although he called up six dogs, Zhao Youcai knew that the old dog would have to lead the way, so he puffed up his cheeks and whistled hard.
At this time, the black tiger rolling on the snow simply lay down on the snow, letting the thick snow surround itself.
The green tiger sitting next to Zhao Jun turned his head to the other side, but the old dog's eyes turned backwards, and he glanced at Zhao Youcai with more white than pupil.
"Tiger!" Zhao Youcai blew on the green tiger's cheeks until they were sore, but it didn't move, so he just shouted at it loudly.
At this time, Zhao Jun was afraid that Zhao Youcai would be embarrassed, so he secretly pushed Qing Lao Hu's butt with his foot and shouted in a low voice: "Go, make way!"
"Woof! Woof!" The green tiger jumped forward and shouted twice to alert his companions.
The Zhao army's movements were obscure, and Zhao Youcai thought that Qing Lao Hu was following his orders, so he immediately waved his hand upwards and shouted, "Open the way!"
The green tiger didn't even look at Zhao Youcai, it just jumped into the snow and crawled under it.
Green Tiger led the way, and the hunting dogs followed. As the eight dogs walked one after another under the snow, the thick snow collapsed from above their heads and was trampled down by them one by one, revealing a path.
This scene made Xie Chen dumbfounded. Wang Qiang looked at Zhao Youcai in disbelief and asked, "Isn't this a trick?"
"Our tiger can do it too!" Zhao Youcai was very proud and asked Wang Qiang, "Is it okay for me to choose this dog?"
Wang Qiang gave Zhao Youcai a thumbs up, and Zhao Youcai became even more proud. He seemed to be muttering to himself, or as if he was making an announcement to everyone.
Zhao Youcai said, "There are eleven dogs at home. I want to drag them all out. That'll be all."
"Eleven dogs?" Wang Qiang asked in surprise, "Brother-in-law, how can there be so many dogs at home?"
At present, there are three red dogs in the Zhao family's yard, and one spotted dog and two black dogs in the Li family's yard, also three dogs. If all these dogs are counted as Zhao Youcai, isn't there only six dogs?
Zhao Jun gently raised his elbow, touched Wang Qiang, and said, "My dad's four cubs born to Little Bear also count... huh?"
At this point, Zhao Jun felt something was wrong. Six plus four only makes ten. Could it be that Ergudong also counted the little bear as his?
"Yes!" At this time, Zhao Youcai continued what Zhao Jun said, "These ten dogs, plus Niuniu, Erhei, and Lao Hu, my dog gang is enough."
Zhao Jun curled his lips when he heard what Zhao Youcai said. How did Niuniu become his? But if a son steals his father, it is not stealing, and if a father robs his son, it is not robbing. There is no way for the father and son to argue.
Zhao Jun didn't say anything, but Wang Qiang smiled and said to Zhao Youcai, "Brother-in-law, you don't have enough. You should have more than 20 dogs."
"No." Zhao Youcai glanced at Zhao Jun and said sarcastically, "It's someone else's dog. You hold it like an eyeball. Can you give it to me?"
Zhao Jun was speechless. Wang Qiang waved his hand and said, "My nephew's dog belongs to him. What I'm saying is that when Xiao Niuniu and Xiao Heilong have two more litters of puppies, you will have 20 dogs, right?"
"Get lost!" Zhao Youcai was stunned for a moment, then he became furious. After cursing Wang Qiang, he picked up his gun and walked along the road opened by the dog gang, calling out to the three people, "Hurry up! Stop!"
Zhao Jun, Wang Qiang and Jie Chen didn't say anything, they just laughed and followed Zhao Youcai.
There was a stone pond over the hilltop. The hound came from the east side of the stone pond. To the west of the stone pond, among the heavy snow, a black head moved on the snow!
I am still writing the additional chapter, and there is still half of it. It will probably take more than one o'clock to finish writing and revising it. Brothers, I am tired and I will go to sleep first.
