Chapter 1326: The First Step of the Zhao Family Gang to Annex Xishantun
When Zhao Jun saw Zhang Lifeu, Zhang Lifeu also saw Zhao Jun. He shouted from a distance: "Xiao Jun!"
"Hey, Uncle Zhang." Zhao Jun agreed and gave Ma Ling a wink.
As Zhao Jun went to greet Zhang Lifeu and the others, Ma Ling quietly slipped away holding the basin.
Zhao Jun walked over and looked suspiciously at those who were traveling with Zhang Life.
Even without Zhao Jun saying it, he knew all the people in the four family settlements in Yong'an Forest Farm. They looked familiar to him when he met them.
But not only were none of the people with Zhang Lifeu acquainted to him, they were all strangers.
Zhang Lifeu must have said something to Zhang Xinglong and Tong Youfeng just now. At this moment, all the people in Xishantun stopped, and only Zhang Lifeu walked with Zhao Jun.
"Uncle Zhang, what are you doing so early in the morning?" Zhao Jun asked. Zhang Lifei smiled bitterly and said, "Xiaojun, aren't they the ones here? Why did they have to look for you?"
"Ah?" Zhao Jun was stunned, frowned slightly, and turned to look at the hooligans in Xishantun.
After a closer look, Zhao Jun discovered a familiar face in the crowd. It seemed that he was the one who bought a wild boar with him to feed the dogs on the day when he captured Yizi'er.
But Zhao Jun really didn't know the remaining ten or so people.
"Uncle Zhang, what do they want me for?" Zhao Jun asked Zhang Life in a low voice, and then Zhang Life asked back: "Xiaojun, didn't you go to Xishan Village yesterday?"
"Ah?" Zhao Jun began to wonder in his heart when he heard Zhang Lifeu ask this.
Seeing that Zhao Jun didn't say anything, Zhang Lifu asked again: "Did you lead the dogs to hunt the fox at the foot of the West Mountain?"
"Uncle Zhang." Zhao Jun tilted his head, frowned, and asked Zhang Life in a low voice: "I caught the fox, what does it have to do with them?"
"Xiaojun, this is what happened." Zhang Lifeu said with a wry smile, "After you left, dozens of foxes ran out of the Xishan mass grave and howled outside Xishan Village for a whole night..."
"Ah?" Zhao Jun was stunned and blurted out, "Why would I go to their village to hunt down the fox I killed?"
"That may be because they bully the weak and fear the strong." Zhang Lifeu lowered his voice and said to Zhao Jun: "These people don't dare to come to you directly, so they come to my house when they have no other choice. There is nothing I can do..."
"Okay, uncle." Zhao Jun stopped Zhang Lifu from speaking, looked at the gang of hooligans in Xishan, and said, "Young and old men, come with me. If you have anything to say, sit down and talk at home."
You can't avoid this matter. If it is really caused by yourself, just solve it.
After Zhao Jun finished speaking, he led the way and walked home with a group of hooligans.
When they were almost at the door of the house, the dogs of the Zhao and Li families started to panic.
Zhao Jun entered the yard and waved his hands repeatedly, but when he saw more than ten strangers, the dog couldn't stop howling.
Looking at the hunting dogs on the east and west sides of the Zhao family, the hooligans all felt their eyes were opened.
"Come, let's go inside and talk." Zhao Jun said, opening the door of his own house and saying to Wang Meilan who was washing dishes in front of the stove, "Mom, take my sister back to the house."
"Son..." Wang Meilan was about to speak when she saw a lot of people gathered outside the door.
Wang Meilan glanced at Zhao Jun, and when Zhao Jun winked at her, Wang Meilan responded, wiped her hands on her work clothes, turned around and went into the east room.
As the door to the east room closed, Zhao Jun called out to everyone outside, "Come in."
Thirteen people led by Zhang Xinglong and Tong Youfeng walked into the Zhao family's house and followed Zhao Jun and Zhang Life into the west room.
Seeing so many strangers, the little lynx jumped onto the kang table, arched its back, stood on tiptoe, and made a breathing sound.
"Hey, what kind of cat is that?" someone couldn't help but ask. The person next to him pulled him aside and whispered, "What kind of cat is that? Is that a tiger cub?"
"Really?" Looking at the little lynx held in Zhao Jun's arms, someone asked in surprise, "Is this a tiger cub?"
"Well, look at the ears, isn't there a tuft of hair there?"
At this time, Zhao Jun opened the drawer and took out a pack of opened grape cigarettes. These cigarettes were bought by Zhao Youcai, but he threw them in the drawer because he was not used to them.
Zhao Jun held the little lynx in one hand and a cigarette in the other. He turned around to distribute cigarettes to the guests, but saw that everyone was standing in the room.
"Everyone, find a place to sit!" Zhao Jun called everyone, "Hurry up and get on the kang. Come over to the west side of the mountain. It's cold, isn't it?"
As he spoke, Zhao Jun handed the cigarette box to Zhang Lifeu, then stretched out his hand, signaling Zhang Lifeu to distribute cigarettes to everyone.
At this time, Zhang Xinglong said, "Little one, we won't sit here. Look at our cotton-padded jackets and trousers, they are all dirty. Your room is so clean, but ours..."
"It's okay! I'm young and don't know how to address you. But since you're older than my dad, I have to call you uncle." Zhao Jun held Zhang Xinglong's arm and said with a smile, "Uncle, we men don't care about anything else, such as clean or dirty. You're a guest at my house. Come and sit here."
As Zhao Jun spoke, he pulled Zhang Xinglong to the edge of the kang, but Zhang Xinglong refused to get on the kang and just sat on the edge.
A group of people ate in Zhao Jun's room every day. There were exactly ten four-legged and eight-forked stools under the north window. Most of the hooligans sat on them. Only Zhang Lifu, Zhang Xinglong, Tong Youfeng and Qin Guangquan, the witness, sat on the edge of the kang.
Just as everyone sat down, the door of the Zhao family's outer room was pulled open, and Li Dayong, Li Dazhi and Li Baoyu came in aggressively.
Li Dayong shouted as soon as he entered the room: "What's going on? Why are there so many people?"
While they were talking, Li Dayong arrived at the door.
Li Dayong is 1.8 meters tall, followed by Li Dazhi who is 1.78 meters tall and Li Baoyu who is 1.9 meters tall. The key point is that all three of them are wearing forest farm work clothes, which makes the hooligans dizzy.
"Uncle, it's okay!" Zhao Jun said this first, fearing that Li Dayong might misunderstand him. However, Li Dayong still asked Zhang Lifeu, "What's the matter, Lao Liu? What are you doing with these people?"
"Brother Li." Zhang Life stood up and said to Li Dayong, "They are all from Xishan Village. They came to see Xiaojun for something."
"Ah..." Although Zhang Lifeu said so, Li Dayong still turned around and waved to Li Baoyu, saying, "Go, get some stools."
Li Baoyu agreed and went to the east room, while the brothers Li Dayong and Li Dazhi immediately went into the west room.
At this time, Jin Xiaomei and Li Ruhai hurried over. After entering the door, Jin Xiaomei went straight to the east room, while Li Ruhai just glanced through the door to the west room, then entered the room and went straight to Zhang Xinglong.
"Hey, Uncle Zhang!" Li Ruhai and Zhang Xinglong held hands together and said with a smile, "It's been a while since we last met!"
After shaking hands with Zhang Xinglong, Li Ruhai shook Tong Youfeng's hand and said, "Uncle Tong, the sweet potato you sold me yesterday was not good either. One of them was soggy!"
Tong Youfeng was startled for a moment, then smiled and said, "Ruhai, you buy half of the sweet potatoes and we give you half, what else is there?"
As soon as Tong Youfeng said this, Li Ruhai's face changed instantly. He winked at Tong Youfeng, then shook hands with Qin Guangquan and said with a smile: "Second Uncle Qin, hehehe..."
Then, Li Ruhai waved to Zhang Lifeu, called out "Uncle Zhang", turned around and was about to run towards the ten hooligans, but was pulled to his side by Li Dayong.
Li Dayong glanced at Li Ruhai, and Li Ruhai retracted his foot. Then he raised his hand and waved to the ten hooligans sitting on the four-legged eight-pronged stool.
Those people also cooperated and nodded to him.
Li Dayong's mouth twitched, but he heard Zhao Jun say to Zhang Xinglong: "Uncle, I feel that you are always the leader among these people."
“Haha…” Zhang Xinglong grinned and said, “Xiao, you really have good eyesight.”
Tong Youfeng was about to interrupt when Zhao Jun asked, "Uncle, what's your last name?"
"My last name is Zhang, and my name is Zhang Xinglong." Zhang Xinglong's answer was very simple. When he finished speaking, Zhao Jun said, "Uncle Zhang, I heard my uncle Zhang say something just now. What happened? Did the fox in the mass graves on the West Mountain howl in the mountains last night?"
"Oh, so small!" Zhang Xinglong took a puff of his grape cigarette, and his old eyes suddenly lit up. He paused for a moment before saying, "It started howling at about four o'clock yesterday evening as soon as it got dark."
"What were you howling for?" Zhao Jun asked. Zhang Xinglong sighed and replied, "Before we left the village, they were still howling there."
"Tsk!" Zhao Jun smacked his lips and asked, "Did the fox come into the village and harm the chickens?"
"No." Zhang Xinglong said, "But we can't stand it even if it howls like that."
"If you can't bear it, fight!" Li Dayong said, "You don't have guns, but don't you have double-shot bullets? Once the double-shot bullet explodes, won't you all run away?"
"Brother, we didn't dare." Zhang Xinglong said, "We were afraid that if we made them angry, they would harm us again."
"Yes!" Tong Youfeng finally found an opportunity to interrupt and said, "That year, our village was in great trouble because of these foxes. Later, it was the old woman Han from your village who made trouble for us. She told us not to mess with the foxes, saying that foxes and yellow foxes are petty and hold grudges."
"Then go find Old Mrs. Han!" Li Dayong took the grape cigarette handed to him by Zhang Lifu, lit it and took a puff, and said, "Why don't you just let her pinch you?"
Generally, people who predict things have to count with their fingers first. The local people here call that "guagu".
"This..." Tong Youfeng was choked by Li Dayong and was speechless, but Zhang Xinglong felt that Zhao Jun was easier to talk to, so he said to Zhao Jun: "Xiao, you are a tiger-capturing general, do you have time to help us get rid of these foxes?"
Zhao Jun smiled and nodded to Zhang Xinglong, then said, "Uncle Zhang, I understand what happened. I went over there to hunt foxes yesterday. The incident you just mentioned should have been caused by me hunting foxes."
A man should take responsibility for his actions. Zhao Jun admitted it without hesitation and asked, "Aren't there no foxes harming chickens and geese in the mountains now?"
"Not now." Zhang Xinglong said awkwardly, "But we can't stand the endless howling like this."
"Mr. Zhang, what do you want me to do?" Zhao Jun asked Zhang Xinglong again, "Let me shoot them with my gun? Don't let those foxes get angry after I finish fighting them, and then they will harm your chickens or something?"
When Zhao Jun said this, all the hooligans looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Xiao." Zhang Xinglong pleaded with Zhao Jun, "In our forest area, you are the leader in hunting. Please help us think of a strategy. It's not easy for any of us."
Zhao Jun blinked twice and suddenly asked, "All the men in your village have fled to the mountains, right?"
"Yes." Zhang Xinglong said, "We can't get much food from farming in a year. We have to rely on hiking to survive."
Zhao Jun asked again: "You know how to put on the clamp and condom, right?"
"That's about right." Zhang Xinglong seemed to understand what Zhao Jun meant. He smiled bitterly and said, "Xiao, we don't dare to fight. If we dare to fight, we won't come to you."
"Aren't you just afraid of the foxes' revenge?" Zhao Jun asked, "Then if we kill them all, then we won't be afraid of revenge, right?"
"Huh?" Hearing Zhao Jun's words, all the hooligans were stunned.
Yes, if we kill all the foxes in the mass grave in the West Hill, then there will be no more foxes to take revenge, right?
But these people didn't say anything. Their family conditions were not good and they didn't dare to take the risk.
Zhao Jun guessed their thoughts almost accurately, and immediately said with a smile: "If you ask me, we can set traps if we can, and traps if we can. If you have fox skins, bring them to me and sell them."
"What?" Everyone looked at Zhao Jun in shock. Tong Youfeng asked excitedly, "Leader Zhao, are you collecting fox skins?"
"Jun Na!" Li Dayong stood up from the bench and wanted to speak out to stop them, but someone behind him pulled his arm.
Li Dayong looked back and saw it was Wang Meilan. Wang Meilan shook her head at Li Dayong.
No one knows a son better than his mother. Wang Meilan knew that her son must have a special purpose in doing this.
Zhang Lifeu was also nervous about Zhao Jun at this time. He did not expect things to turn out like this.
"Jun, what's the use of collecting that thing?" Zhang Lifeu didn't care about the hooligans in Xishantun at all.
"It's alright, Uncle Zhang." Zhao Jun said with a smile, "You can take all my brothers with you these days, and I'll take the fox skins if you catch them."
Zhao Jun calculated in his mind, and then said to the people in Xishantun: "Good leather, without holes or holes, ten yuan a piece."
"ten bucks?"
"How many?"
"how much is it?"
"Really?"
The representatives of the Xishantun gang were furious.
Zhao Jun had gone down the mountain to the supply and marketing cooperatives several times before. No matter whether it was the one in the town or in Lingnan, the fur counters did not accept fox fur.
No matter how rich or poor you are, no one will accept you.
Now there is someone who can buy fox furs, and he also offers a high price that the hooligans like, and they are all jealous.
Ten yuan for a fox skin, they are just afraid that there are not enough foxes in the mass graves of Xishan. Don't talk about fox revenge, even if the fox spirit comes, these people dare to do it!
"Xiaojun, no!" Zhang Lifeu held Zhao Jun back, then turned to Wang Meilan and asked, "Second sister-in-law, where is my second brother?"
Zhang Lifu wanted Zhao Youcai to come out and stop Zhao Jun, but Wang Meilan smiled and said, "Your second brother is preparing a feast for someone, and he will be back in the evening."
Wang Meilan's words were not addressed to Zhang Lifeu, but to the people in Xishan Rogue Village.
There's no way. There are too many good things at home and I'm afraid that they will attract other people's attention.
"Second sister-in-law, please say something." Zhang Lifu called Wang Meilan anxiously. Wang Meilan smiled and said, "It's okay, just take it. If it doesn't work, we can sew a coat or something."
The conversation between Zhang Lifu and Wang Meilan made the Xishan hooligans very nervous.
At this time, someone in the crowd said, "Don't charge ten dollars. I'll sell it for five dollars."
"Haha." Zhao Jun smiled faintly and said, "When we men talk, our words are as firm as nails. Ten dollars is ten dollars, but ten dollars is for good leather. For the damaged leather, we can discuss it later."
When Zhao Jun said this, all the hooligans were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling.
