Chapter 1564: Jie Chen's Contribution: Another Treasure Cellar
When Qing Lao Hu and Er Hei followed the wild boar down the ditch, Zhao Youcai, Li Dayong and Zhang Lifeu arrived. At this time, the three of them were high above and could just see the red pine tree where the wild boar had sat not long ago.
It’s no wonder that the three brothers were slow. The mountain road was difficult to walk on. Zhao Youcai, Li Dayong and Zhang Lifeu ran down the mountain, their trouser pockets full of sweat.
I was sweating from running in my cotton pants, and I couldn't even move my legs. It was not easy for Zhao Youcai and his friends to run so fast.
But the three of them were a step late after all. If they had arrived here two minutes earlier, Zhao Youcai would have been able to get a shot.
The red bitch ran to Zhao Youcai's legs grunting and trembling, but Zhao Youcai had no time to look at it and just walked forward quickly.
Seeing Zhao Youcai, the injured Da Lao Qing and Da Lao Huang also ran towards him.
"Dayong, Lao Liu, look at the dogs!" Zhao Youcai felt bad when he saw the two dogs trotting. He asked Li Dayong and Zhang Lifu to take care of the two hounds, while he continued to run ahead.
After running a few steps forward, Zhao Youcai saw that the area around the red pine tree was in a mess and the snow looked like it had been plowed.
Just as Zhao Youcai was about to chase after him, he saw Erhei coming back panting.
"Erhei!" Zhao Youcai became nervous when he saw Erhei.
The result of this hunting trip is clear at a glance. The hunting trip has failed and now we are worried that the hunting dogs will get injured.
Seeing Zhao Youcai, Erhei was also very excited. He came over and stood up and threw himself into Zhao Youcai's arms.
"Oh!" Zhao Youcai saw the wound on Erhei's shoulder at a glance, and hurriedly hugged Erhei to prevent him from moving.
Zhao Youcai raised his hand to touch Erhei's shoulder. Erhei felt pain and tried to struggle.
Zhao Youcai released Erhei. He felt relieved when he saw that Erhei's injury was not serious.
"Brother, come quickly!" Hearing Li Dayong calling him, Zhao Youcai knew that his brother must have something wrong, so he hurriedly turned around and walked towards Li Dayong.
When they were leaving, Zhao Youcai saw Li Dayong stripping off the armor on Da Laoqing. Zhao Youcai didn't see the wound on Da Laoqing's stomach, but he saw the wound on Da Laoqing's ribs.
Seeing Zhao Youcai coming, Li Dayong shouted, "Brother, give me the medicine."
When Li Dayong was speaking, Zhao Youcai had already arrived in front of him. At this time, Zhao Youcai saw the wound on Da Laoqing's stomach, and he lowered his head to take a closer look.
Seeing that the injury was not serious, Zhao Youcai finally breathed a sigh of relief. He took out the wound medicine and bandage from his pocket, handed them to Li Dayong, and said, "Just wrap it up and stop the bleeding. I think it seems to be able to walk."
It’s not that Zhao Youcai doesn’t care about the dog, but even if he wraps it up now, he will still have to open it and deal with it when he gets home.
"You can walk." Li Dayong nodded and said, "There is armor, but it was not penetrated."
"That's fine." Zhao Youcai said, looking towards Zhang Lifu. Seeing Zhao Youcai looking towards him, Big Huang exhaled white air and walked towards Zhao Youcai.
"Second brother, the dog has a wound on its buttocks." Zhang Lifu said so. Zhao Youcai said, "That's okay. The buttocks are made of living flesh. It doesn't matter. Lao Liu, apply some medicine on it so that the bleeding won't be seen."
As soon as Zhao Youcai finished speaking, he saw Lin Xiangshun and Li Dazhi rushing over breathlessly.
"Quick, quick!" Zhao Youcai urged the two, saying, "Shunzi, you two quickly peel off Erhei's armor, and then apply medicine on the shoulder."
After saying that, Zhao Youcai handed Erhei to Lin Xiangshun.
Seeing Zhao Youcai was about to leave, Lin Xiangshun hurriedly asked, "Second Uncle, are you going after that pig?"
"Ah!" Zhao Youcai said, "The tiger hasn't come back yet!"
Just as Zhao Youcai finished speaking, he heard a "Haha" sound, and the Green Tiger came back.
When Zhao Jun went to Futai to pick up Qing Lao Hu, Qing Lao Hu's former owner Sun Xingwang said that two years ago, this dog could travel seven or eight miles. Now, even though it is old, it can still travel five miles.
But from the time the green tiger left Zhao Youcai, to the time it discovered the wild boar, and then to the time it chased it across the ditch and pond, it was less than five miles.
This is not because the green tiger has regressed, but because it is not working hard.
If a couple raises a dog, the dog will treat its two owners differently.
When a hunting dog goes hunting with a human, how much effort it puts in depends on the relationship between the hunting dog and the hunter. If Lin Xiangshun leads the green tiger up the mountain today, since they can see each other every day at home, the green tiger will also work for Lin Xiangshun, but it can only put in 60% of its effort at most.
If Li Baoyu and Jie Chen led Green Tiger up the mountain, Green Tiger would use 70% of their strength, because these two people usually go up the mountain with Zhao Jun.
As for Zhao Youcai, although Qing Lao Hu looked down on him, Qing Lao Hu knew that Zhao Youcai was one of their own. Moreover, it could even determine that Zhao Youcai was related to Zhao Jun by smell.
This is a very mysterious thing.
Dogs can tell who are their own people and who are their owner's family members.
Just like when Zhao Chun came back to her parents' home, the dogs at home were all friendly to her and didn't feel strange at all. They were even more welcoming to her than Yang Yufeng, Xu Chunyan and others who came home every day.
So no matter how unwilling Green Tiger was to go out hunting with Zhao Youcai, as long as Zhao Youcai led it up the mountain, Green Tiger would give Zhao Youcai 80% of its strength.
If Wang Meilan, Zhao Hong and Zhao Na, whom Qing Lao Hu likes more, takes it to the mountain, Qing Lao Hu can display 90% of its abilities.
If it was Zhao Jun, then Qing Lao Hu would definitely try his best. Even if Zhao Jun was in danger, Qing Lao Hu would still risk his life to protect his master.
The returned Qing Lao Hu sat aside, panting heavily. Zhao Youcai saw this and came over to see if Qing Lao Hu was injured.
It can be seen that when Zhao Youcai came over, Qing Lao Hu lifted his butt and was about to leave.
"Stand there!" Zhao Youcai called out to Qing Lao Hu. Qing Lao Hu rolled his eyes at Zhao Youcai and let him touch and search his body.
Zhao Youcai checked and saw that the green tiger was not injured, so he left it alone.
Zhao Youcai walked up to Li Dayong again and said to him who was bandaging Da Laoqing: "Dayong, you go back to the dog manager..."
"Brother!" Before Zhao Youcai could finish, Li Dayong asked, "What are you doing?"
Zhao Youcai turned his hand back, pointed to the opposite hillside, and said, "I'll knock that cannon ball."
"Brother!" Li Dayong heard this and hurriedly said, "Brother, the cannon egg that was frightened by the dog won't stand still, how can you chase it?"
Not only did the wild boars startled by dogs not stop, but those startled by people also ran all the way until three or four o'clock in the afternoon and only stopped when they were ready to look for food.
A dog can catch up with a wild boar, but a human can't! Even a human can't catch up with a wild boar when it's running, let alone a wild boar that's running.
"Uncle!" Li Dayong finished speaking, and Lin Xiangshun continued: "Let's go back. We still have to sew the dog when we get back!"
"You guys sew them, and then have Xiaoyun's mother give them injections." Zhao Youcai said, "We still have penicillin at home, give it to all these dogs."
"Second brother." At this time, Zhang Lifu also advised Zhao Youcai: "If you keep chasing me like this, when will you leave?"
"I'll chase it down to the bottom, I don't believe it won't stand." Zhao Youcai said angrily: "My damn dog hurt me, I must knock it to death!"
No wonder Zhao Youcai was angry. He was so ambitious about developing a dog gang, but he didn't expect that the second time he took the dogs up the mountain, they died. Even Erhei, who was the least injured, needed to be nursed for a week. Da Lao Huang needed half a month, and Da Lao Qing needed at least a month.
"Brother!" Seeing Zhao Youcai being so stubborn, Li Dayong ignored even the dog. He stood up and tried to persuade Zhao Youcai again, saying, "It's not worth it for you to do this! Why don't we go back and regroup and fight again tomorrow?"
Hearing what Li Dayong said, Li Dazhi couldn't help but mutter, "Where did these people come from?"
Li Dayong was stunned. He glared at Li Dazhi and then said to Zhao Youcai, "Brother, I just saw the scab marks on the wild boar's hoof. I estimate that this pig weighs less than 300 kilograms. We still have so many dogs at home. We can catch a 400-kilogram cannon egg alive, let alone this."
"I don't need their dog!" Zhao Youcai waved his hand and refused: "I don't have a dog, but I can still hold this pig."
"You can't knock it today!" Lin Xiangshun said, "Second Uncle, why don't you chase it away tomorrow morning and cover its bed with quilt?"
Lin Xiangshun meant that wild boars would have to get up at noon, so why not get up early tomorrow and go up the mountain to track down the wild boars' den.
After being persuaded by several people in turn, Zhao Youcai's anger subsided a little, and he reached into his pocket and took out Shi Lin Cigarette.
……
"Come here, Brother Zhang." Li Baoyu took out three cigarettes from the cigarette box, gave them to Wang Qiang first, and then gave one to Zhang Yuanmin.
At this time, a lot of dry firewood had been piled up next to Bai Niuzi's tree stump, and there were two fallen trees not far away.
Zhang Yuanmin took a cigarette and held it in his hand. While Li Baoyu was striking a match, Zhang Yuanmin looked around and said, "Where has this humble servant been?"
Li Ruhai, who was sitting on a fallen log and tearing a pancake, replied, "He went to be lazy."
As he spoke, Li Ruhai gave the torn pancake to Zhao Jun first.
The pancake is round and big when it is spread out. It is crispy when it is spread out, and needs to be sprinkled with water to soften it, and then folded into a square as big as a B5 paper and as thick as a one-yuan coin.
After folding it like this, it is easy to carry. But the thick pancake is hard to bite, so you have to tear it apart.
Zhao Jun took the pancake and took a bite. While chewing, he said, "I haven't seen him for a long time."
"Yeah!" Wang Qiang said, "He went to the toilet, right?"
"It's time for him to go to the toilet. It's been so long. He must have been lazy." Li Ruhai said this, and then Li Baoyu laughed and said, "This kid is so proud of himself. He made some achievements yesterday, but he's getting cocky today."
"It's unpredictable." Zhang Yuanmin smiled and continued, "In the past, he didn't have to carry a shovel or a pickaxe today."
"Hmm?" Li Baoyu felt something was wrong when he heard this. At this moment, a voice came from not far away: "What are you saying?"
The one who spoke was Xie Chen!
"Oh!" Zhang Yuanmin laughed and said, "Is your humble servant back?"
"Ah!" Xie Chen responded and looked Zhang Yuanmin up and down, saying, "Brother Zhang, are you praising me?"
"Hahaha..." Zhang Yuanmin laughed, while Zhao Jun, Wang Qiang, Li Baoyu and Li Ruhai were also amused by Xie Chen's sarcastic words.
"Here you go." Li Baoyu took out a cigarette box from his pocket, handed it to Jie Chen and said, "Take it and smoke it yourself."
"I won't smoke yet." Xie Chen pushed away the cigarette and Li Baoyu's hand. His action stunned Li Baoyu and Zhang Yuanmin.
"Brother Jun!" Xie Chen walked up to Zhao Jun and heard Zhao Jun ask, "Want some pancakes?"
"No." Xie Chen said with a smile: "Brother Jun, I have done a great deed again."
"Huh?" When Xie Chen said this, everyone looked at him in shock.
"What did you do?" Li Ruhai asked, but Xie Chen ignored him and said to Zhao Jun, "Brother Jun, you can't listen to the slander of villains. I was not being lazy just now."
"Ah? Ah..." Zhao Jun frowned and asked, "What's going on?"
"I'm fine, I just slid down." At this point, Xie Chen pointed downwards and continued, "I saw a big tree stump down there, and there was a mark on it."
"What?" Zhao Jun, holding a pancake, stood up suddenly, stared at Xie Chen with wide eyes, and said, "Xiao Chen, say it again."
"What kind of mark?" Wang Qiang also looked anxious.
This time, Xie Chen pointed to the stump of the Bainiuzi tree not far away and said to Zhao Jun, "It's the same as the one in the painting here."
Hearing what Xie Chen said, Zhao Jun turned around and stuffed the pancake to Li Ruhai, then raised his hand to Xie Chen and said, "Come on, Xiao Chen, take me over to have a look."
"Hey!" Xie Chen agreed and left with Zhao Jun. Wang Qiang, Zhang Yuanmin, Li Baoyu and Li Ruhai all hurriedly followed.
As the six of them walked down, Xie Chen stayed beside Zhao Jun and said, "Brother Jun, I've been busy all the time. What am I thinking? We have to do everything. I'd rather not rest or smoke, I have to walk around this slope."
After hearing what Jie Chen said, Zhang Yuanmin and Li Baoyu threw the remaining half of their cigarettes into the snow without hesitation.
"Xiao Chen." Wang Qiang didn't put down his cigarette. He held the cigarette in his hand and praised Jie Chen, saying, "You've taken the trouble."
"Haha." Xie Chen smiled, and then he heard Wang Qiang say, "If we can find something in this place, we all have to thank you."
No one expected that there were two treasure cellars of the Wang family on this hillside. If Xie Chen did not make any new discoveries, they would leave after they finished digging the upper one, no matter how much they found.
"Uncle, we are not strangers, what are you thanking me for?" After Xie Chen finished speaking, he smacked his lips and continued, "If I have to thank someone, I should thank my brother Jun. Without my brother Jun, would I be where I am today?"
Zhao Jun and Wang Qiang were very pleased with Xie Chen's words, but Zhang Yuanmin and Li Baoyu all curled their lips in dismay.
Li Ruhai, who was walking behind, frowned and looked at Jie Chen's back, saying, "This kid is even better at talking nonsense than me."
But what surprised Li Ruhai was still to come. Xie Chen kept talking, "The day before yesterday, after we had a meeting, my mother told me that from now on, my brother Jun will be my real brother just like my eldest brother."
Xie Chen's words were sincere, and this time Li Ruhai followed Zhang Yuanmin and Li Baoyu in curling their lips.
"Brother Jun!" Xie Chen, who was walking in front, ignored the three of them and continued to express his feelings, saying, "From now on, if you say one word to me and ask me to go through mountains of swords and seas of fire, I won't blink an eye."
"Come on!" Li Baoyu couldn't help shouting, "We are in a forest area. If there is a sea of fire, won't everything be gone?"
"That's right!" Li Ruhai glanced at Li Chen and said, "You slanderous minister!"
"Alas!" Zhang Yuanmin sighed heavily, then read out a few names, saying: "Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Huang Hao..."
Xie Chen ignored them and raised his hand to lead the way for Zhao Jun, saying, "Brother Jun, slow down, it's right in front!"
"I saw it!" Zhao Jun raised his hand and pointed forward, asking, "Is it that one?"
About seven or eight meters ahead, there is a stump of a colorful tree.
"Yeah!" Xie Chen nodded and said, "Look, Jun Ge, I'll put a tree branch next to you."
"I am a very capable person." Wang Qiang praised him again, which made Jie Chen smile happily.
When the few people came to the stump of the tree, they saw Jiechen bending down and picking up a piece of dry seedling, about 40 centimeters long, from the snow.
"Ouch!" Zhao Jun and Wang Qiang looked at it and both changed their expressions. Then they heard Xie Chen say with a smile: "Brother Jun, look, these are wild grape seedlings."
After saying this, Xie Chen added: "It's still red root!"
