Chapter 1340: Youcai's Recruitment of Disciples is Frustrated
"Clang clang..." The enamel spoon in Zhang Xinglong's hand fell on the kang table. The old man stretched his legs off the kang, put on his shoes and shouted, "Good timing!"
In less than two minutes, Zhang's father and son held shovels and pickaxes, and the old lady and daughter-in-law held torches, and the whole family rushed out of the house together.
The Zhang family was not the only one like this. The entire village of Mangliutu was tempted by the fox skin. Almost all men, women, old and young went out to search for foxes in the village as a family unit.
……
At the same time, in Yongxing Brigade, on the kang in the east room of the guesthouse.
Li Wencai was lying on the pillow smoking. Next to him, Zhao Youcai was sitting cross-legged, wrapped in a quilt, chattering on and on about the lesson that Jie Chen was giving.
"They don't know anything! I don't even want to criticize them." Zhao Youcai looked disdainful, holding a cigarette in his hand and stretched it out over the edge of the kang. After flicking the ash on the ground, he said to Xie Chen: "Zhao Jun, Zhang Yuanmin and others are all wrong in treating the deer."
Jie Chen was lying in bed. He didn't smoke because he wanted to sleep, but Zhao Youcai kept teaching him.
At this time, Zhao Youcai continued, "To make the medicinal deer bean, you must first melt the wax, then dip it in willow hair. Dip it into a wax ball, and then stuff the potassium aluminum cyanate inside.
Then use salt water and yellow mud to wrap the wax ball. What shape does it look like? "
Zhao Youcai said, raising his thumb with one hand, "It's half a foot long and as thick as a thumb. After that, go up the mountain to find the yellow mud hill. It must be a yellow mud hill, like the small Tanpo.
Remember, it has to be a muddy hill, not a sandy hill. A deer will dig it up easily if it is a sandy hill. "
At this point, Zhao Youcai took another puff of his cigarette, then threw the butt on the ground, gestured with his hands to demonstrate to Jie Chen, and said: "Find a stick like this and pound it into the ground. Make a hole, then sprinkle large grains of salt in it, and then pour water to let the salt sink. Go ten miles into the wind, and the big guys will smell the smell and come over to eat it."
"Ah..." Upon hearing this, Xie Chen felt that Zhao Youcai's method of poisoning the deer was indeed more reliable than that of Zhao Jun and Zhang Yuanmin.
Seeing the minister taking over, Zhao Youcai continued, "Wait until they have almost finished chewing, then go and pour more salt water for them to chew.
What should you do when you gnaw at that time? If you want to gnaw at the big guy again, you have to kneel down there and put your head in there to gnaw. At this time, you put the prepared medicinal beans in there, and if the big guy gnaws again, just leave it there!"
After saying this, Zhao Youcai asked Jie Chen, "Did you remember it?"
"Remember that, Uncle Zhao." Xie Chen praised with a smile: "You are a veteran gunner, you have plenty of experience."
"Ha!" Zhao Youcai smiled proudly, and then said: "My dear minister, let me tell you more about that black blind Cang."
Xie Chen: “…”
……
after an hour.
Li Wencai had fallen asleep on the kang, but Zhao Youcai and Jie Chen were still chatting.
"Ah...ha..." Xie Chen opened his mouth and yawned, but then he heard Zhao Youcai ask, "Where are the round dates and wild grapes that are delicious?"
Jie Chen was confused. In this hour, Zhao Youcai talked about Tiancangzi, Dicangzi, the habits of black bears, and now he was talking about round dates and wild grapes.
It’s okay to talk about Xiongcangzi, but what do round dates and wild grapes have to do with me?
When Xie Chen was puzzled, he heard Zhao Youcai answering himself: "Dates and wild grapes are delicious when they grow on sǎi trees, white ash trees, and ash trees. They are not delicious when they grow on autumn trees and pine trees.
As for wild grapes, you have to pick the ones with red roots, because they are sweeter..."
"Uncle Zhao." Xie Chen couldn't stand it any longer, his eyelids were drooping, so he said to Zhao Youcai, "I don't pick wild grapes, what do wild grapes and round dates have to do with me?"
"This is all based on experience." Zhao Youcai raised his hand and gestured to Jie Chen, saying, "You are a newcomer, so don't underestimate mountain running. There are many things to say about it."
"Yes, yes, Uncle Zhao." Xie Chen said with a bitter face, "I know this, but I usually go up the mountain with my brother Jun, so it's enough for him to understand these things."
"That won't do." Zhao Youcai frowned and said to Jie Chen in a serious tone, "You can't point everything at him."
"Huh?" Xie Chen was startled when he heard that, and his sleepiness instantly disappeared. Hearing what Zhao Youcai said just now, Xie Chen thought that Zhao Youcai disliked him.
In fact, Xie Chen knew clearly that he and the Zhao army went up the mountain to hunt just for the Zhao army to help him get rich.
Xie Chen also told Zhao Jun that he didn't need to give himself so much money. But Zhao Jun always said that money is not always there, but people are always there. We are brothers. Today I will help you, and tomorrow you will help me.
Gradually, Xie Chen stopped mentioning that. He just made up his mind that if the Zhao army needed him one day, he would risk his life to help.
"Uncle will teach you, just study hard." Just when Xie Chen was daydreaming, Zhao Youcai said to Xie Chen: "The skills you learn are yours. When you learn well, you will become a gunner."
At this point, Zhao Youcai raised his right thumb and bewitched Jie Chen, saying, "Then the other day, everyone in the surrounding villages started talking about you and started to yell, "How awesome is that."
"Uncle, I really haven't thought about these things." Xie Chen said sincerely: "I just want to follow my brother Jun well. Normally, he doesn't need me to help, so I will help him. If..."
Xie Chen paused halfway through his words and said, "Uncle, don't be angry when I say this. There are always things when hiking. If my brother Jun gets bald one day, I will go even if it costs me my life."
At this point, Xie Chen said with some disappointment: "That time when we chased that 700-pound black bear to Shitang, my brother Jun was in danger, but I didn't rush over. I was very upset afterwards."
Hearing this guy being so loyal to the Zhao army, Zhao Youcai rolled his eyes and said, "Why didn't you rush forward?"
"Huh?" Xie Chen was startled, then he heard Zhao Youcai say, "Isn't it because your grip is not good? If you had a good grip, he wouldn't have fired the first shot, and you would have fired it right away."
"Uncle, you are right." Xie Chen nodded and said, "I have to practice shooting well. The gun and bullets are ready. I can't be lazy anymore."
"Oh...that's right!" Zhao Youcai nodded, looking pleased that he had a teachable child.
But then, Zhao Youcai changed the subject and said, "Practicing with a spear is not just random practice. You need to find a capable person to guide you."
"My brother Jun can lead me." When Xie Chen said this, Zhao Youcai smacked his lips and said, "If you learn from him, you will never catch up with him in this life. If you want to learn from a master, you have to find the best one."
At this moment, everyone knows what Zhao Youcai is thinking.
Xie Chen kept clicking his eyes but didn't say anything. Zhao Youcai, who didn't get a response, asked Xie Chen, "Who is the best shooter in our forest area?"
When Zhao Youcai asked this question, he looked eager to try.
"Then..." Xie Chen hesitated for a moment and murmured, "I heard that Brother Zhou in Yongshengtun is the best. He is a rifle calibrator in the army."
Zhao Youcai's mouth twitched, but he still didn't give up and continued to ask: "Besides him?"
"Then it must be my uncle." Xie Chen said, "My uncle is an expert at hunting. He said that if you let him catch a roe deer, you can catch it..."
"Fuck you!" Before Xie Chen finished speaking, Zhao Youcai cursed. Then Zhao turned over angrily with his back to Xie Chen, pulled the corner of the quilt up, and wrapped himself tightly.
Xie Chen curled his lips and thought to himself, "I'm not stupid. If I continue to nag you, you'll never stop."
Just as unsuccessful as Zhao Youcai's attempt to recruit disciples was the night battle between the people of Xishantun and the fox pack.
Ever since the news of the fox entering the village spread, all the men, women, young and old in Xishan Village have joined forces to encircle and hunt down the foxes in the village.
During the encirclement and suppression, some foxes were killed, but after all the effort, only three foxes were killed in the whole village.
The people of Xishan Village did not give up. They searched the village thoroughly and only called off the search after they were sure that there were no foxes left.
By this time, it was already past ten o'clock. The people of Xishan Village returned home and went to sleep.
But just as he fell asleep, the sound of foxes howling was heard in the village, as if it was right in front of or behind his house.
The people of Xishantun stood up, put on their clothes, grabbed their weapons, and lit torches.
But when they rushed out to look around, they didn't find any trace of the fox. They only saw a lot of fox footprints on the snow on both sides of the road.
It was late at night and it was winter, so no one could stay outside. Everyone had to go back to their homes and go to sleep.
But about half an hour later, when everyone had just fallen asleep, the sound of foxes howling could be heard again in the village.
This time only the men went out, but after searching around they still found nothing.
At this time, the people of Xishantun realized the trouble.
This chapter is short of about 4000 words. I will make up for it with words tomorrow.
