Chapter 1449 True Friend of Women
As soon as the gunshot rang out, the Siberian leopard fell to the ground and the hunting dogs rushed forward like mad.
The twelve people in the outer circle rushed forward and helped the eleven people to catch the hunting dog.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhao Jun rushed under the tree with guns in hand.
Zhao Jun's shot just now was a good one. He shot the Siberian leopard in the head and killed it.
Zhao Jun slung the gun over his shoulder, grabbed the leopard's tail with one hand and one of the leopard's hind legs with the other, and struggled to pull the leopard upside down.
"Brother!" Li Baoyu came over to help. The two of them drained the blood of the Siberian leopard without opening its stomach.
Then, Zhao Jun used a deerskin knife to cut the Siberian leopard's neck and peeled off the skin downwards.
If this is a roe deer, it is very easy to peel. After peeling off a corner, stretch the skin with one hand and push the skin and flesh with a fist with the other hand, and directly peel off a large piece.
But Zhao Jun didn't dare to do that to the leopard skin which was worth over ten thousand yuan. He and Li Baoyu peeled off the leopard skin very carefully.
Before leaving home, the Zhao family made thorough preparations. Li Baoyu took out a long cloth bag made of white cloth from his shoulder bag and put the leopard skin rolled up by the Zhao army into it.
At this time, all the hunting dogs had calmed down. They were either sitting, lying down, or sitting around, waiting for the Zhao army to give them some meat.
As the one who does the dirty and tiring work in the Zhao family gang, Jie Chen stepped forward and cut open the white-striped leopard.
Looking at the bulging belly of the white-striped leopard, Wang Qiang, who was smoking and chatting with Li Chunming and other security guards, said, "My dear, be careful not to let the intestines leak out."
"No, uncle." Xie Chen was very confident in his skills in this area, but before he started to cut, Xie Chen looked up at Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu and said with a smile: "This is a shitty melon belly."
"Haha." Zhao Jun smiled when he heard this, and then he heard Li Baoyu say to him, "Brother, this leopard ate more than 30 kilograms of meat, and it hasn't digested it yet, right?"
"Ah?" Zhao Jun was startled. Li Baoyu said, "Mutton is better than leopard meat. Why don't we prepare the mutton and feed it to the dogs?"
Li Baoyu had no problem thinking this way. The meat of the leopard was not tasty, and its texture and taste were not as good as mutton.
The mutton that the leopard had eaten was still undigested in its stomach, and the dog didn't think the leopard was dirty, so after cutting open the leopard's stomach, the minced meat paste could be used to feed the dog.
But Zhao Jun didn't even think about it and shook his head and said, "No, no."
"Why not?" Li Baoyu asked. Before Zhao Jun could reply, Wang Qiang said, "You fed the dog and made it hungry. What should I do?"
After Wang Qiang said this, Li Baoyu blinked his eyes twice and remained silent.
The Zhao family's dogs were not guard dogs, but hunting dogs. They regarded the meat they had eaten as prey.
After hearing what Wang Qiang said, Li Chunming asked curiously, "So, after the dog eats the mutton, will it chase the sheep next time?"
"Of course not." Wang Qiang said with a smile: "My brother-in-law slaughters cattle, and I dare not feed the scraps to the dogs."
"Ah?" Wu Ruixiang was surprised when he heard this: "Slaughtering a cow? Didn't you say your brother-in-law is a cook? Why is he killing a big animal?"
"Haha..." Wang Qiang smiled faintly, raised his hand and pointed to the mountain opposite Wu Ruixiang and asked: "Team Leader Wu, I think that mountain is quite high? Isn't there a big skin on it?"
Wu Ruixiang was diverted by Wang Qiang. He looked back at the mountain Wang Qiang pointed at and said, "You are right. On the top of the mountain, once the snow cleared, there were no other traces of mountain animals except for the big leather footprints."
……
While the Zhao family's dog gang was sharing the prey, Li Ruhai was walking in Nanshan Village with a sullen face.
There are two residential areas in Xiaohongshan Forest Farm, one is Nanshan Village and the other is Beishan Village.
Although it is called a village, it is not very large and its population is similar to that of Yong'antun and Yongshengtun.
The two villages are very close to each other, separated by a cornfield.
"Ruhai, Ruhai!" Zhang Yuanmin followed behind, two or three meters behind Li Ruhai. His legs were short and he had just recovered from a serious illness, so he could not walk as fast as Li Ruhai.
Li Ruhai stopped and waited for Zhang Yuanmin to come over. Li Ruhai looked at him and said, "Brother Zhang, I told you not to come, but you insisted on coming."
"What's the matter? Do you think your brother walks too slowly?" Zhang Yuanmin adjusted his gun belt and said to Li Ruhai, "I came here to protect you. What if you get carried away by a leopard? What shall we do?"
Hearing Zhang Yuanmin's words, Li Ruhai looked him up and down and said, "Brother Zhang, if you had this intention, you wouldn't have hit me last night."
"Oh my god!" Zhang Yuanmin took a half step back, stared at Li Ruhai with wide eyes, and said, "Ruhai, why are you talking about this? Can you, Brother Zhang, do that?"
"Ha!" Li Ruhai sneered and walked out of the village.
Seeing that Li Ruhai was heading for the forest farm, Zhang Yuanmin asked hurriedly, "Ruhai, why don't we go to their Beicun?"
"What's the point of going there?" Li Ruhai said, "There's none in the South Village, and there's none in the North Village either."
At this time, Li Ruhai was very unhappy.
After breakfast, he went to Nanshan Village to collect hides. Once he entered the village, Li Ruhai went door to door.
This child speaks sweetly, and when he talks and laughs, he has a special affinity. Wherever he goes, he will talk and chat without dropping words.
But Li Ruhai's work in Nanshan Village was not going smoothly, and the problem was not with Li Ruhai.
This small redwood forest has special mountains and trees. The density of sables on the mountain is much higher than that in Yong'an Forest Area.
A sable fur costs thousands of dollars, which is almost as much as a worker's annual salary.
Therefore, when the holidays came, even the forest workers went up the mountain to set up traps to hunt big hides.
All the workers are like this, not to mention the hooligans and street urchins.
It can also be said that every household in Nanshan Village hunts for big skins.
In the past two hours, Li Ruhai has visited seven households. From the beginning of the snow to now, in this half of winter, the one with the least harvest among these seven households has only harvested two large skins. The one with the most harvested actually has six.
The seven families together have a total of twenty large skins.
Not to mention how much these big skins can be sold for, the Zhao family Chamber of Commerce will add five yuan to buy all these big skins, and then sell them in Hebei after the New Year, and the profit will be nearly two thousand yuan.
But the problem is that these seven companies have already sold the big skin.
What is different between the Little Redwood Forest Area, the Yong'an Forest Area and the Yongxing Brigade is that the Little Redwood Forest Farm has a supply and marketing cooperative.
As long as they are not in urgent need of money, the mountain hikers in Yongan Forest District and Yongxing Brigade will go down the mountain before the New Year and again before planting in the spring after the New Year. During these two trips, they will sell all the mountain products they have saved before and after the New Year.
The mountain runners in the Little Redwood Forest area also sell their produce every time they go up the mountain, but they go home when they go down the mountain, so the supply and marketing cooperative is on their way home.
Therefore, the mountain runners in Little Redwood carry one big hide when they go up the mountain and sell one when they come down the mountain, or if they carry two hides, they sell two.
All I brought home was money, but no skins.
A good cook cannot cook without rice. Even if Li Ruhai is eloquent, how can he buy the skins if the other party has no skins?
This is not Li Ruhai's fault for being incompetent, but Li Ruhai felt very uncomfortable.
When Zhang Yuanmin heard Li Ruhai say, "There is none in the South Village, and there is none in the North Village," he thought that the child was going back to the forest farm.
After leaving Nanshan Village, Li Ruhai indeed walked towards the forest farm. But halfway through, Li Ruhai suddenly ran towards the supply and marketing cooperative.
Zhang Yuanmin and Li Ruhai entered the supply and marketing cooperative. It was not big and certainly not as large as the ones in the city, but it had all the common household items.
Just as Wei Huaixin said yesterday, this supply and marketing cooperative has four rooms, one of which is for collecting mountain products. At this time, there is no mountain product purchase, so the door is tightly closed.
In the first three rooms, the counters and shelves are located on the north side to avoid light, and in front of the south windows that let in sunlight, there is a row of wooden pole racks about 70 to 80 centimeters high.
On the shelves are large curtains made of sorghum stalks, on which are hung mountain products such as wood ear, hazel mushroom, hericium, and morel.
Around the stove in the middle sat twelve or thirteen women.
There are no small shops in South Village and North Village, so villagers have to come to this supply and marketing cooperative to buy things.
Women come here to buy things and chat, and the people in the supply and marketing cooperative don't care.
As soon as Li Ruhai and Zhang Yuanmin came in, what they saw attracted everyone's attention.
This is not only because of Li Ruhai's cool outfit, but mainly because these two people are strangers.
Li Ruhai walked to the counter, took out a wad of money from his pocket, took out a fifty-cent note and put it on the counter, saying, "Give me a pack of Yingchun."
"Huh?" Zhang Yuanmin looked at Li Ruhai in astonishment.
There was a man sitting at the counter, he was probably in his forties. After taking a look at Li Ruhai, he stood up and asked Li Ruhai, "Young man, are you here to help us hunt the local leopards?"
"That's my brother, my eldest brother." Li Ruhai said with a smile: "I just followed him for a stroll."
"Ah..." After hearing what Li Ruhai said, the man took out a pack of Yingchun from the counter and put it on Li Ruhai's fifty cents, saying, "Take it and take it. Don't charge me. I'll put it on Secretary Wei's account for you."
"No need to bother." Li Ruhai picked up the cigarette, but left the money on the counter and said, "I smoke, you should pay."
As he spoke, Li Ruhai opened the cigarette pack, skillfully took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth.
This scene stunned Zhang Yuanmin.
It was the fifteenth day after the Lunar New Year when Li Ruhai was about the same age as Zhang Yuanmin, who had already started rolling leaf cigarettes to smoke.
But Li Dayong and Jin Xiaomei were very strict with Li Ruhai and did not allow him to touch cigarettes and alcohol before he was sixteen.
When he was at home, Li Ruhai behaved very well and no one knew that he actually smoked.
Li Ruhai, with a cigarette in his mouth, said to the man at the counter, "Master, can I borrow a light?"
Hearing this, the man turned around, took the unpacked matches, took out a pack and gently threw it in front of Li Ruhai, saying, "Take it and use it."
A pack of matches cost only a few dollars, but Li Ruhai didn't care. He pushed open the matchbox, took out a match, struck it, and lit the cigarette.
Li Ruhai took a puff of cigarette skillfully, glanced at the women sitting around the stove, turned around and asked the man at the counter, "Master, what's your name?"
"No need to bother, my last name is Liu." The man said, "My name is Liu Changshan."
"Ah, Master Liu." Li Ruhai smiled and said, "Master Liu, are you from the forest farm?"
"No." Liu Changshan shook his head and said, "I am from the supply and marketing cooperative. We built the supply and marketing cooperative here in 83, and I came here in 85."
"Ah..." Li Ruhai nodded slightly and asked again: "Master Liu, are you the only one in this supply and marketing cooperative?"
"Ah." Liu Changshan said, "I'm enough. Whether you buy or sell this stuff, there are accounts. I'll keep the accounts clearly. It's OK as long as the goods match."
Hearing him say this, Li Ruhai nodded again.
Just when Li Ruhai wanted to ask something, a woman came in from outside.
The woman looked to be about 20 years old. When she came in, an old woman in her 50s stretched her neck to look at her and asked, "Little Wife, why did you come out by yourself? Where is your Dabao?"
"He fell asleep, Aunt Sun." The third young wife said, "I left him at home, and I came out in a hurry."
"What are you doing out here?" Another woman said, "I'll take whatever the third boy brings back for you."
"No need, Wang's wife." The third young wife smiled and said, "I just want to buy a can of malted milk."
As they spoke, the three young wives ran to the counter.
After buying a can of malted milk, she didn't leave, but joined the group of women and started chatting with them. From what she said, it seemed that she didn't go home right away because she was waiting for her man to bring her something.
"Hey? Look at the third kid, he's different now that he's a father. He knows how to take care of his family and how to love his wife."
Hearing people praising her husband, the third young wife smiled and said, "My third boy has been very good in the past six months and knows a lot."
"Yes." A woman echoed, "It's said that a man is a real father only when he is a father."
"Hmm!" The third young wife pursed her lips and smiled bitterly, "Eight months ago when I was pregnant with my eldest son, my third son was fighting with someone outside. He came back with a black eye and couldn't even open his eyes."
"Who is he with?" a woman asked curiously.
"I don't know!" said the third young wife, "No matter how I asked, he didn't tell me. That guy made me angry."
"All the old men are fucking with that shit!" A woman in her forties threw her hands and said, "My bastard is the same. I was pregnant with my second son... that was six months ago, right?
Damn it, this old man was supporting something outside, but he got into a fight with someone and came back in a bad state after being beaten up. I asked him who he had the fight with, and told my child's eldest and second uncles to go and fight him back, but he didn't say anything. Damn it! This made me angry!"
"Hehe..." The old woman's words brought smiles to the faces of the people around her, but this was not something worth laughing about.
And the person who laughed out loud was not yet by the fire.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young man wearing a marmot hat, a Zhongshan suit, and military shoes. He walked over with a smile and said, "We have a guy named Jiang Ming in Xitun."
"Huh?" Zhang Yuanmin was stunned when he heard Li Ruhai's words. He knew Jiang Ming and Zhao Jun, and they had a good relationship.
At this time, Li Ruhai continued, "That year his wife was also pregnant, and he had someone beat her up. His wife didn't even recognize him anymore."
"Ah?" Li Ruhai skillfully used exaggerated rhetoric, which immediately aroused the curiosity of the women. The third young wife even asked, "What does it look like?"
"But it was pretty miserable." Li Ruhai shook his head gently and said, "After I got home, I almost couldn't breathe."
"Oh my God! What is that for?" A woman looked terrified.
Li Ruhai raised his eyebrows, glared, and leaned his chin forward a little, saying, "His wife quit at that time."
"Who can do it?" a woman shouted, "I wouldn't do it even if it were me!"
"Of course!" Li Ruhai said, "That guy, his wife made a scene, and all the relatives came. They said that no matter who it is, they have to kowtow!"
After hearing this, everyone focused their attention on Li Ruhai, waiting for his next words.
Li Ruhai lowered his head, raised his right hand, and said mysteriously, "Later, his wife found out, but she didn't dare to go to him no matter what. Guess what?"
"What are you shouting about?" As soon as Li Ruhai finished speaking, a woman asked, "Which one is it, the one with the guns and cannons? Or the one with the village master?"
Someone nearby asked, "Was it the village chief or his relatives who called him?"
"No." Li Ruhai shook his head, then clapped his hands and said, "He fucking picked up someone's wife and got beaten up by her!"
The news Li Ruhai revealed was quite big, but after he finished speaking, the supply and marketing cooperative fell silent.
Zhang Yuanmin's face changed drastically. Just as he was about to go forward and pull Li Ruhai, he heard Li Ruhai say, "His wife is pregnant, so he can't sit at the table, so he uses other people's wives to quench his thirst."
As soon as Li Ruhai finished speaking, the door of the supply and marketing cooperative was pulled open from the outside. As the man lifted the cotton door curtain, he shouted, "Is my wife here yet?"
