Chapter 1411: Wang Qiang, who is no match for a dog, and Zhao Youcai, who gives advice
"Ow! Ow!"
Wang Meilan, whose face was disheveled in the wind, was awakened by two dog barks.
Wang Meilan lowered her head and saw the black tiger raise its left front paw and tap the frozen roe deer twice in succession.
Wang Meilan pursed her lips, fearing that she would swear in front of others.
Seeing that Wang Meilan didn't say anything, the black tiger stared at her with sparkling eyes and scratched the frozen roe deer twice with its claws.
At this moment, Wang Meilan wished she could break its legs, which had just been healed for a short time.
"Da Mingzi's wife." Wang Meilan forced herself to calm down, and then said to Zheng Linying with an apologetic look: "I'm really sorry, I'll go to your house to give you the money for the roe deer."
"It's okay, auntie." After hearing what Wang Meilan said, Zheng Linying smiled, then waved her hand in a generous manner and said, "It doesn't matter what the money is. Just take it and eat it."
"No, that won't work." Wang Meilan shook her head repeatedly and said, "I was in a hurry to come out, and I don't have any money in my pocket. I'll send it to you later."
"Don't worry, auntie." Zheng Linying added, "No need to send it specially."
Zheng Linying was about to leave after she finished speaking, and Wang Meilan quickly apologized again: "Daughter-in-law Damingzi, I'm sorry."
"It's okay, auntie." Zheng Linying said, "A dumb beast doesn't understand human affairs."
"Ao!" The black tiger let out a strange cry. It turned its head and stared at Zheng Linying, baring its teeth and making a "whoosh" sound.
"Quiet down." Wang Meilan shouted softly, and the black tiger's upright tail fell down instantly.
But when the dog turned around and saw the roe deer it had "hunted", Black Tiger quickly turned around again, and when it faced the roe deer, its tail stood up again.
"Ao!" The black tiger yelled at Wang Meilan again, then raised its front paws and poked the frozen roe deer twice.
"I'm pretty..." Wang Meilan was about to scold the dog, but suddenly realized that she was still outside. She looked left and right, then quickly reached out and grabbed Heihu's erect ears.
"Ah!" The black tiger let out a strange cry, flapped its head suddenly, broke free from Wang Meilan's hand, and ran away.
"Go home!" Wang Meilan yelled at Heihu. She was about to go home when she remembered something and hurriedly turned around to pick up the frozen roe deer.
When the roe deer was alive, it was easy to pull. Now it was all in a heap, and Wang Meilan had no way to pull it, so she could only move the roe deer with both hands.
But because they came out in a hurry, Wang Meilan didn't even wear gloves. She carried the frozen roe deer with both hands, and her hands were so cold that they froze.
The black tiger ran out and stood not far away, turning around and looking at Wang Meilan.
Seeing Wang Meilan walking to within three or four meters of it, the black tiger turned around and ran again.
Wang Meilan walked about thirty or forty meters carrying the roe deer when she felt her arms go numb.
Wang Meilan was not afraid. She could carry 70 or 80 kilograms of sticky rice dumplings, but they had to be put in a sack.
This roe deer weighs only about 30 kilograms. It is indeed heavy when carried on the back or in the arms, but it is not easy to move it.
"Go to hell!" After walking another twenty meters, Wang Meilan's hands became numb. She threw the frozen roe deer to the ground, pointed at Hei Hu and shouted, "Come here!"
The black tiger stopped five meters in front of Wang Meilan, looked at Wang Meilan, lowered its body, and moved closer to Wang Meilan while shaking its tail.
"Pull it back!" Wang Meilan pointed at the roe deer and gave orders to Heihu.
The dog actually understood what was said. It opened its big mouth, bit a corner of the roe deer, and dragged it home with great effort.
This time it was Wang Meilan's turn to walk in front. She walked quickly towards home, and Heihu hurriedly pulled the roe deer to follow.
But the frozen roe deer was hard to bite, and Black Tiger kept pulling and tugging until the roe deer slipped out of his mouth.
Wang Meilan walked back home angrily, and when she reached her doorstep, she pulled out a piece of pine cone from the pile of bamboo shoots.
In order to find Hei Hu, all the women went out, even the old lady and Jie Sun went out to look for him, leaving only Zhao Youcai who was on his own.
Therefore, Wang Meilan needs to light pine torches to recruit everyone back.
Just then, the door of the Zhao family's room opened and Zhao Youcai brought someone out.
Seeing this, Wang Meilan hurriedly threw the pine torch aside.
Wang Meilan didn't know the man who came out of the house with Zhao Youcai, so she stood at the gate of the yard and waited for the man to come over. Wang Meilan rushed forward and nodded and smiled, and the man nodded in return.
At this time, Zhao Youcai said a polite word "goodbye" and sent the person away.
While speaking, Zhao Youcai walked out of the yard. When he looked at the man's back, Zhao Youcai saw Heihu dragging the frozen roe deer back.
"Huh?" Zhao Youcai was startled and muttered subconsciously: "What is Huzi doing?"
"It went hunting." Wang Meilan answered like this. Even a dog can be sarcastic. It can be seen that Wang Meilan's skill in using sarcastic words has reached perfection.
Zhao Youcai was stunned. He was confused by what Wang Meilan said.
The black tiger, who was being scolded by others, just happened to catch the frozen roe deer. When they were about to reach home, the black tiger turned around, bit the roe deer and dragged it backwards.
Just then, the man came out of Zhao's house. He saw a fat dog with its big butt sticking up and pulling something, and he couldn't help but feel curious.
When he got up to the black tiger and saw that it was a frozen roe deer, the man let out a "Hey".
"Ao!" He made a sound, and Black Tiger also made a sound.
The black tiger's huge body turned flexibly and quickly, biting the air beside the man's shoe.
The fat dog weighing nearly 130 kilograms had a strong deterrent effect. The man was scared so much that he dodged backwards and leaned his back against the Zhao family's tent, knocking down several wintersweet flowers.
"Hu Zi!" Zhao Youcai shouted and ran quickly towards Hei Hu.
Seeing Zhao Youcai coming, the black tiger put away its ferocious look, circled around the frozen roe deer, and wagged its tail to ask for credit from Zhao Youcai.
"Are you okay, brother?" Zhao Youcai didn't have time to pay attention to Heihu for the time being, so he asked the man with concern.
"It's okay, big brother." The man shook his head and asked Zhao Youcai, "Is this your dog? Where did you get the roe deer?"
"Ah, haha..." Zhao Youcai smiled and said, "Your sister-in-law bought it for me. She had a hard time holding it."
"It's too hard to hold it, so you let the dog pull it?" The man looked at Hei Hu in surprise and said, "Your dog can do it!"
"Haha..." Zhao Youcai didn't say anything else to the man. He went over to pick up the frozen roe deer, and when he straightened up, he said to the man, "Brother, I won't send you off!"
"No need to see me off, no need to see me off, just go and get busy." The man waved his hand and left.
The black tiger wagged its tail and followed Zhao Youcai home happily. But as soon as it entered the yard, it was locked in the warehouse by Wang Meilan.
The black tiger was howling in the barn, as if saying "They went to eat roe deer".
Zhao Youcai first carried the roe deer into the house and placed it under the fire wall in the outer room. There was really not much meat at home recently, so he would let the roe deer rot overnight and skin it tomorrow.
Wang Meilan followed him into the house, preparing to use a small shovel to scoop up a piece of red-hot wood from the stove to light a pine torch.
Seeing Wang Meilan coming in, Zhao Youcai asked again, "Lan, whose house did you get the roe deer from?"
Wang Meilan curled her lips and said, "Hu Zi was dug out from Chen Dalai's yard."
"Ah?" Zhao Youcai's eyes widened. He paused for two seconds before reacting and said, "Then I have to sponsor them?"
Here, to say "package" means to compensate someone.
"What else is there to say?" Wang Meilan asked Zhao Youcai, "I'll go over and give Chen Dalai's wife twenty yuan, okay?"
"Okay, why not?" Zhao Youcai said, "I just weighed it, and the roe deer weighs at most 35 or 36 kilograms. It's hard to get 15 kilograms of meat, so give her 20 kilograms."
Black Tiger thought this trip was great, but his family lost money. According to Zhao Youcai, the roe deer produced 15 catties of good meat, which was sold at the market price of 70 cents per catty, which was 10.5 yuan.
The remaining pile of bones with meat on them was only worth 80 yuan. And if the Zhao family went to buy such a roe deer from Chen Dalai and his wife, the Chen family would have to give them a price that was known to them, so a roe deer would only cost 10 yuan.
With this calculation, the Zhao family has to pay ten dollars in total.
But now this is not buying, but compensation. If you want to compensate, you have to compensate people so much that they can't say anything. If the news gets out, you can't let the villagers care about their own family.
Wang Meilan went into the house to get the money. When she came out, she heard Zhao Youcai ask, "Didn't you slap the dog twice?"
"No." Wang Meilan sighed and said, "Hu Zi screams when he gets hit. I don't have the nerve to hit him outside."
"Then forget it." Zhao Youcai said something good for Hei Hu. Wang Meilan said, "Then what else can we do?"
The couple didn't mean to blame the dog. No matter how smart a dog is, it is not a human being after all, and you can't hold a dog to human standards. When something like this happened, the couple only blamed themselves for not keeping an eye on the dog.
Wang Meilan went out to light pine cones and left Zhao Youcai at home.
When a wisp of black smoke rose from the pine cone, Wang Qiang came back on a motorcycle, carrying Xing San and the roe deer.
Normally, they should have gone home to have lunch at noon, but when they were walking back, they encountered a group of roe deer crossing the road.
Wang Qiang immediately stopped the motorcycle and left Xing San to watch the car on the side of the road, while he chased after him with a gun in hand.
Wang Qiang wasn't having a good day today. The Roe Deer Gang gave him three chances, but he only hit one roe deer.
"Sister, what are you doing?" Wang Qiang, who slowed down the car, of course knew what lighting pine torches meant, but it was already past two in the afternoon, Zhao Ling and the others should have arrived, so why were they gathering just now?
"Huzi ran away the other day." Wang Meilan curled her lips and said, "Everyone went out to look for him. Now the dog is back, but they haven't come back yet."
After hearing what Wang Meilan said, Wang Qiang nodded and rode his motorcycle into the yard.
Wang Meilan originally wanted to give money to Zheng Linying, but she remembered the reason why Wang Qiang and Xing San went up the mountain, so she followed the motorcycle into the yard.
"Have you caught a roe deer?" Wang Meilan, who was following behind, saw the roe deer tied to the back of the car.
"Yeah." Wang Qiang responded after getting off the car, then untied the roe deer and said with a smile: "This roe deer is a little small, but it's enough for us to have a meal."
"There are no roe deer, but I have some." Xing San continued, "I have several buried behind my shack. Jie Dazi won't buy any, and will bring them back tomorrow."
"Come on, brother." Wang Meilan said, "Just keep it for yourself."
While the two were talking, Wang Qiang had already dragged the roe deer into the house. Zhao Youcai, who was keeping accounts in the east room, closed the account book and came out to take a look, and he was immediately envious.
"Brother-in-law." Wang Qiang was also angry. He smiled at Zhao Youcai and said, "I went up the mountain to do some work, and I also picked up a roe deer."
Zhao Youcai's face darkened. He glanced at the roe deer, pointed his finger at the fire wall, and said, "Your two moves are only comparable to Hu Zi's."
"Ah?" Wang Qiang was stunned and saw the frozen roe deer under the fire wall.
"Look!" Zhao Youcai continued to mock, "I don't think the roe deer you beat is as big as the one Hu Zi brought back."
Wang Qiang: "..."
Just as the brother-in-law and brother-in-law were arguing, Xing San and Wang Meilan came into the room, and then Wang Meilan started to prepare hot noodle soup for the two of them.
In the mountains, Xing San, who was watching the car, ate a pancake, while Wang Qiang was busy chasing roe deer and didn't eat anything. When Wang Meilan asked to cook noodles, neither of them refused.
The hot noodle soup requires choking the soup. While Wang Meilan was scooping up pickled vegetables, she listened to Wang Qiang and Xing San talking about what they had gained from going up the mountain today.
After understanding the situation, Wang Meilan felt a little worried and asked, "What should I do?"
"Tsk!" Xing San smacked his lips as he took the Shilin cigarette from Zhao Youcai and said, "It's not easy to do. It's just the two of us who need to burn the soil and dig the pit. It will take us a long time to dig it out."
Xing San said this not because he was afraid of the hard work, the key point was that there were only him and Wang Qiang, and there was not even someone to keep watch, so it was not stable to do the work.
"What should we do?" When Wang Meilan was worried, she turned her gaze to Zhao Youcai.
When her son was not at home, Wang Meilan subconsciously relied on Zhao Youcai.
When she looked at Zhao Youcai, she saw that the corners of Zhao Youcai's mouth were slightly raised and there was a smile on his face.
"His father!" Wang Meilan felt hopeful instantly. She asked Zhao Youcai, "What should we do?"
"Haha..." Zhao Youcai laughed, "That's easy."
"Easy to handle?" Xing San heard this and asked hurriedly, "What should we do, second brother?"
"Let's release the tree first." As soon as Zhao Youcai said this, Wang Qiang questioned, "What's the point of releasing the tree, brother-in-law? You can't dig out the roots of the tree even if you release the tree."
"Listen to me." Zhao Youcai squinted at Wang Qiang and said, "Let's put it on the tree first, so it won't get in the way. When it's done, there's a hole, isn't there?"
"Ah!" Wang Qiang and Xing San nodded in unison, and then they heard Zhao Youcai say, "Take the explosives and blow it up."
"Will that work?" Wang Qiang questioned again, but this time Zhao Youcai didn't refute him, so Xing San said, "It's OK, Qiangzi."
"Hmm?" Wang Qiang was stunned, and then he heard Xing San say: "Control the amount, or collapse more times."
"Brother." Wang Meilan felt something was wrong, so she asked, "What if the thing is broken?"
"Don't be afraid." Xing San clasped his hands together and gestured, "The hole is not big, but it is deep. I thought, let's put a stone in it first, about half a meter deep, and then put explosives in to blow up the half meter outside."
Xing San's words made the Wang siblings' eyes sparkle. At this time, Xing San turned around and asked Zhao Youcai, "Is this the way it should be, second brother?"
"That's right, brother." Zhao Youcai said with a smile, "The tree roots and other things underneath can still protect it for a while. After we blow up this hole, we can just look at the things over there, and then we can carry them home after that."
"If it doesn't work, use the pickaxe to dig a few more times." Xing San said with a smile: "Once the explosion is over, it will be easier to dig."
"Yeah!" Zhao Youcai agreed, and then stood up from the four-legged stool. Before he could say anything, Wang Qiang said, "Then I'll ride my motorcycle to the forest farm to find Jianjun tomorrow."
Zhao Youcai: "..."
