Chapter 1943 Shen Qiushan leads his men to provoke Ru Hai's mouth, Xing 3 Dao
Chapter 1943 Shen Qiushan leads his men to provoke Xing Sandao, who is as sharp as the sea.
Although they didn't know what Zhao Jun was up to, since Zhao Jun had already taken on so much, Zhang Xudong and Liu Yanshuang didn't say anything more and just tried their best to meet all of Zhao Jun's requests.
Zhao Jun first asked for bullets, and Zhang Xudong readily agreed. Later, Zhao Jun asked for dogs, and Zhang Xudong hesitated for a moment before asking Zhao Jun, "Team Leader Zhao, do you want hunting dogs?"
“It doesn’t have to be a hunting dog,” Zhao Jun said. “A guard dog will do, but not one that’s too lazy, something strong.”
“I have one at home,” Zhang Xudong agreed readily, adding, “My big wolfhound is really fierce, that’s it…”
As Zhang Xudong spoke, he looked at Liu Yanshuang, who immediately responded, "My big white dog is good too. Every spring, my brother-in-law takes it up the mountain, and it can catch several roe deer."
"That's settled!" Upon hearing this, Zhao Jun said to Zhang Xudong, "Director Zhang, please prepare another twenty catties of cornmeal for me so I can feed the dogs when I go up the mountain."
Although feeding dogs cornmeal was a bit wasteful, Zhang Xudong readily agreed: "Team Leader Zhao, that's no problem at all. What else do you need?"
"And then what..." Zhao Jun thought for a moment and said, "If we're setting traps or something, we might need to cut down some small trees or something..."
At home, you can do whatever you want; Zhao Jun could cut down a whole hill of trees and nobody would care. But when you're out in the world, there are some things you have to say beforehand.
"That's alright!" Zhang Xudong waved his hand and said, "Team Leader Zhao, as long as you can help us get rid of these wolves, everything else is negotiable."
"Alright, Director Zhang." Zhao Jun smiled and said, "That's good enough."
As they talked, they arrived at the family quarters. Liu Yanshuang left the group to go home and get her dog, while Zhao Jun waited for Zhang Xudong to walk to his house.
When they arrived at Zhang Xudong's house, they saw the large wolfhound that the Zhang family had tied up in the yard.
That big wolfhound was black and yellow, with perky ears, and looked very energetic.
Upon seeing a stranger, the large wolfhound barked. After Zhang Xudong stopped it with his hand, the wolfhound instantly became very docile, lowering its head and rubbing against Zhang Xudong's leg.
"This dog is great!" Lin Xiangshun couldn't help but praise, and Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu nodded in agreement.
Dog owners like good dogs.
"Team Leader Zhao, come sit in my house for a while and have some water," Zhang Xudong invited Zhao Jun and the others, but Zhao Jun declined.
Zhang Xudong didn't insist. He untied the dog's chain, tied the big wolfhound with a rope, and led it to Zhao Jun, saying, "Team Leader Zhao, my dog is called Mud Loach."
"Ah..." Although he didn't know why the dog was named that, Zhao Jun tentatively called out, "Loach."
The wolfhound sitting next to Zhang Xudong's shoes got up instinctively when Zhao Jun called it.
But after getting up, it realized it wasn't its owner calling it, so it sat back down.
"This dog is well-trained," Lin Xiangshun said to Zhang Xudong upon seeing this. "It barks quite well."
"Listen!" Zhang Xudong said with pride, "My mudskipper is very obedient and sensible. I'm the one who led you in. Otherwise, even if it were my own brother, he wouldn't be able to get into this yard."
It was clear that Zhang Xudong really liked his dog. So, Zhao Jun gave him a heads-up beforehand, saying, "Director Zhang, I'm getting this dog to protect against wolves. If we go into the mountains, the dog could easily get injured, or it might not come back."
Hearing Zhao Jun's words, Zhang Xudong looked at Zhao Jun, then at the mudfish at his feet.
When he looked down at the dog, the loach seemed to notice, and immediately looked up at its owner, its tail wagging rapidly twice.
"Team Leader Zhao, then please take good care of us." The "we" Zhang Xudong referred to were the mudskippers at his feet. After saying this, Zhang Xudong added, "But if there's really no other way, I can't blame you."
"Don't worry, Director Zhang," Zhao Jun said. "My family keeps dogs. If you entrust them to me, we'll definitely take good care of them. But anything can happen once we're in the mountains, so let me make it clear to you first."
"I understand now," Zhang Xudong said, gently tugging the rope, and the loach rose to its feet.
“Then let’s head to the forest farm,” Zhang Xudong said. “Liu Yanshuang should be out of the house by now.”
After Zhang Xudong finished speaking, he led the dog outside. Just outside his yard, Zhang Xudong sent two security guards to the large pancake shop to buy pancakes.
The rest of the group walked towards the forest farm. As they were leaving the family quarters, Liu Yanshuang came over with a long-haired spotted dog.
Upon seeing the long-haired spotted dog, Mudskipper paused, then pulled on the leash and charged out barking.
The long-haired spotted dog opposite them wasn't to be outdone, pulling on its leash to fight the loach. Seeing the situation was turning against them, Zhang Xudong and Liu Yanshuang quickly led their dogs away.
"Nephew," Wang Qiang said to Zhao Jun upon seeing this, "These two dogs have come up the mountain together; they can't possibly fight, can they?"
"No way," Zhao Jun laughed. "My second brother is here. Do you think I'd let him fight like that?"
Lin Xiangshun, who was following behind, smiled, looking completely nonchalant, as if he didn't care about the matter at all.
"Wang Wang..."
The barking from both sides grew more and more intense. Lin Xiangshun instructed Zhang Xudong and Liu Yanshuang, "Let them huddle together."
Upon hearing Lin Xiangshun's words, Zhang Xudong and Liu Yanshuang both looked at him, but did not take any action.
"It's alright." Seeing that the two didn't believe him, Lin Xiangshun smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Just a little bit of 'getting them together' won't make them fight."
Hearing Lin Xiangshun's words, Zhang Xudong and Liu Yanshuang, who were originally more than ten meters apart, carefully led their dogs towards each other.
When the two dogs were about four or five meters apart, they suddenly sprang up at each other almost simultaneously, barking fiercely.
Zhang Xudong and Liu Yanshuang looked at Lin Xiangshun again, and saw Lin Xiangshun walk quickly behind the wolfhound called Mudfish and grab the rope.
Lin Xiangshun grabbed the loach's neck, which was only thirty centimeters away. Then, Lin Xiangshun pulled it up forcefully, and the loach felt its neck tighten. At the same time, its cries stopped abruptly, and it was pulled to the side by Lin Xiangshun.
"Take it away." Lin Xiangshun gave a soft command, and Zhang Xudong led the loach away.
Seeing that the loach remained silent and was led away, Liu Yanshuang's long-haired dog thought it had won and chased after the loach, barking wildly.
Just then, Lin Xiangshun appeared behind it. Then, Lin Xiangshun treated the loach the same way he had treated it.
With a strong tug, the long-haired dog stopped barking, but still managed a soft "uh" sound. Then, Liu Yanshuang led it away.
"Come here!" Lin Xiangshun beckoned to the two men again. As Zhang Xudong and Liu Yanshuang approached with their dogs, Lin Xiangshun stepped forward and did the same thing, quickly pulling the leash and briefly strangling the dogs' necks to bring them back to their senses from the intense confrontation.
After repeating this three times, the clever loach became docile. When they gathered together again, the loach stopped making noise.
But the long-haired dog continued to do as it pleased until Lin Xiangshun pulled it three more times, until its tongue turned purple, before it finally calmed down.
At this moment, both dogs were sitting on the ground, about half a meter apart, but neither of them barked or bit. They just ignored each other.
The wolfhound Mudskipper turned its head away to look into the distance, while the long-haired spotted dog lowered its head and scratched its ears with its hind paws.
"Wow, you're amazing, buddy!" Zhang Xudong praised Lin Xiangshun, then added, "My Mudskipper has quite a temper."
"Hehe..." Lin Xiangshun chuckled softly, then turned to Liu Yanshuang and said, "Your dog is so stubborn!"
"Haha!" Liu Yanshuang laughed and said, "That's just how it is, stubborn as a mule."
Although dogs are livestock, they each have their own personality.
Lin Xiangshun patted the head of the long-haired spotted dog and asked Liu Yanshuang, "What's the dog's name?"
"Call him Mao Mao," Liu Yanshuang replied, and Lin Xiang called out to the spotted dog, "Mao Mao!"
When it heard Lin Xiangshun call its name, Mao Mao turned its head but didn't turn completely towards him. It even glanced at him with the white of its eyes, clearly remembering the grudge Lin Xiangshun had for strangling it.
Lin Xiangshun didn't pay any attention, but at this moment, the two guards who had been sent by Zhang Xudong to buy large pancakes returned with bags of flour on their backs.
After leaving the family quarters and entering the forest farm, Zhang Xudong handed the loach to Zhao Jun and said, "Team Leader Zhao, you guys go back and rest for a while. I'll go get you some bullets."
At this point, Liu Yanshuang also gave Mao Mao to Lin Xiangshun. Then, the Lushuihe Forest Farm Security Section separated from the Zhao family gang.
When Zhao Jiabang returned to the guesthouse, Zhao Jun and Lin Xiangshun tied the two dogs to the sides of the Liberation truck.
At this moment, Li Baoyu and Xie Chen got into the back of the carriage, uncovered the tarpaulin, and pulled out large burlap sacks.
A burlap sack carrying bag consists of two straps sewn onto one side of a burlap sack. In addition, a hemp rope is threaded through the sack opening. After filling the sack with items, pulling the rope at both ends seals the opening.
Li Baoyu handed over a burlap sack. When Ma Sheng went to take it, he heard Li Baoyu's reminder: "Brother Sheng, this is heavy."
Even though Ma Sheng was mentally prepared after Li Baoyu's reminder, he still exclaimed "Ouch!" the moment he caught the bag: "What's in this? It doesn't look like much, why is it so heavy?"
Zhao Jun, who was standing next to him, glanced at the markings on the sack and laughed, "This contains a chainsaw, a tarpaulin, and two plastic sheets."
Coming to Lushuihe is not like coming home. One must be fully prepared beforehand to come here.
At this moment, Xie Chen handed over a burlap sack, which Zhao Jinhui took.
Zhao Jun glanced at it and instructed Zhao Jinhui, "Jinhui, you better keep an eye on your bag; it's full of food."
"What's this guy doing?" Zhao Jinhui exclaimed. "It's heavier than a chainsaw!"
"Didn't I tell you it's all food?" Li Ruhai interjected. Zhao Jun said, "There are over 20 jin of noodles in there, plus canned goods, sausages, big pancakes, and stuff like that. If you get tired of carrying it, just say so, and we'll take turns carrying it."
As Zhao Jun spoke, Li Baoyu and Xie Chen dropped two burlap sacks containing the cotton-padded coats for the group. These were light, so Li Ruhai and Ma Yang each carried one on their backs.
There were ten large sacks in total, some heavy and some light. Except for Xing San, each member of the Zhao family gang was responsible for one.
After taking everything down, Zhao Jun and his men went inside to retrieve their guns.
Just then, Li Ruhai and Ma Yang, who were outside, saw a group of people coming from the west. They couldn't make out the exact number at a glance, but they estimated that there were at least fifteen people.
"Huh?" Li Ruhai was taken aback because he recognized the person at the head of the group as Shen Qiushan, whom he had met with in Fusong County.
Li Ruhai knew that his trip would involve traversing the old embankment of the Dew River. This would naturally put the Zhao family gang and the Shen family gang on opposing sides.
When Shen Qiushan arrived with so many people, Li Ruhai sensed something was wrong and abandoned Ma Yang, running into the house.
"Brother!" Li Ruhai said to Zhao Jun as he entered the room, "Is Chief Shen here?"
"Which ginseng leader?" Lin Xiangshun didn't understand and interrupted.
“It’s not Ginseng Foreman, it’s Foreman Shen.” Li Ruhai looked at Zhao Jun as he spoke and said, “The one we met in Fusong.”
"I know." Zhao Jun handed the semi-automatic machine to Li Baoyu, then stepped outside.
Everyone followed and went outside together.
Zhao Jun looked up and exchanged a glance with Shen Qiushan across the distance.
"Chief Shen." Zhao Jun suppressed his thoughts and smiled as he clasped his hands in greeting to Shen Qiushan.
As Shen Qiushan walked, he casually cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Chief Zhao, you've arrived. Why aren't you home yet?"
"Hehe." Zhao Jun chuckled and said, "We arrived late yesterday, and then Secretary Xu and Director Wang received us."
Hearing Zhao Jun's words, Shen Qiushan slightly curled his lip. Shen Qiushan didn't speak, but someone behind him shouted, "What? So you're the only one named Zhao Jun?"
"You son of a bitch..." Li Baoyu took a step forward, but was stopped by Zhao Jun raising his hand.
"Chief Shen." Zhao Jun looked at Shen Qiushan and said, "This is your friend? He doesn't seem to be one of our mountain-climbing crew."
There are many rules in the mountain bandit gang. When the leaders are talking to each other, the subordinates are absolutely not allowed to interrupt.
"I'm not a herder." The man who had spoken earlier stepped forward and said to Zhao Jun in a very aggressive tone, "I'm a dog handler and hunter, I've heard that, so what? You seem to be pretty good at this?"
"I'm alright," Zhao Jun replied with a faint smile. Even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake; when on someone else's turf, it's best to avoid conflict with the locals.
But Shen Qiushan bringing so many people was clearly a troublemaker. The man sneered and asked Zhao Jun, "You went to see Wolf Grass Gully too. What are you planning to do after you saw it?"
"What to do is none of your concern. I'll take care of all the wolves, and that'll be fine." Zhao Jun already had a plan before he came. This plan wasn't just about dealing with the wolf pack; it was a comprehensive plan.
Simply put, Zhao Jun wanted to find the Phoenix Ginseng King first. If all went well, he would bring it out before fighting the wolves.
But these methods, including his tactics for dealing with wolves, cannot be shared with outsiders.
But these people came to cause trouble. Unlike Zhang Xudong, who didn't ask questions unless Zhao Jun said anything.
These people wouldn't tell Zhao Jun, but they insisted on asking.
"Whether you fight or not, you tell us first." The man continued to say to Zhao Jun, "Everyone says you're awesome, let's see what tricks you have up your sleeve."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Jun's face darkened, but he did not reply.
At this point, there's no point in saying anything more.
Seeing that Zhao Jun remained silent, the man said again, "What's wrong? Can't you tell us? Tell us, please?"
After saying this, the man suddenly noticed Li Ruhai and Ma Yang. He immediately smiled, pointed at Li Ruhai and Ma Yang, and said to Zhao Jun, "You come to hunt wolves, and you bring two little brats with you. Are they even fully grown yet? Hunting?"
"Damn it..." Zhao Jun's eyes widened. He was about to explode when he saw Li Ruhai grab Ma Yang, step forward, raise his chin, and point at the man, saying, "Hey?"
"Huh?" The man was taken aback, and then Li Ruhai asked, "Tell us what kind of fabric your wife wears for her underwear."
The man was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage and cursed at Li Ruhai: "Am I pretty?!"
“I’m pretty!” Li Ruhai retorted directly, “Do we know you? You come here and start asking all sorts of questions!”
The man darted out from behind Shen Qiushan and was about to rush towards Li Ruhai when Xing San leaped out from behind Zhao Jun.
Xing San reached behind his back, and when he raised his hand again, a flash of cold light appeared.
