Catch the Mountain 1985

Chapter 157

Zhang Peng and the four of them walked down the mountain laughing and joking. It was already afternoon, and they couldn't go to see the water dog anymore. But fortunately, the clip was in the water, and the water temperature was low at this time, so there was nothing wrong with it.

When Zhang Peng and others returned to the village, it was not dark yet, so there were still some villagers on the road. When they saw the four people coming back, Zhao Chunming was also carrying a sack and asked them curiously.

Zhang Peng and the others just laughed and said they were little things like hares. Anyway, no matter whether the people in the village believed it or not, they themselves believed it.

In fact, it’s not surprising that Zhang Peng and the others said so. There was only a bear skin and four bear paws in the sack, and there was no meat at all. If the villagers knew about it, then whatever you say about this, the bears would be beaten back. No one would believe a little bit of meat.

It's hard for you to explain. I can only think that you are digging for it and just don't want to give it. This will also have a bad reputation in the village. You might as well tell a white lie and the matter will be over.

Pan Xiangqian, who was not far away, happened to see Zhang Peng and his group in the yard. However, although he was relatively far away, his eyes, which he had trained over the years, could tell that there was definitely something inside the sack. Big stuff.

Pan Qianqian thought for a moment, then returned home. When he saw Li Manli cleaning up the house, he called her to the east room.

"Manli, don't take care of me now. You can go to Yang Fucai's house in the village later," Pan Xiangqian said.
"Why are you going to his house? You don't usually move around," Li Manli asked curiously.

"You can go as long as you are told. Go to his wife Zhou Daxiao and tell her that Zhang Tiejun's family has got a big deal again. They have gotten so much all winter. No one in this village has ever seen their family in trouble. Just help a bunch of things, and there’s nothing else to say." Pan Qianqian said with a smile.
"What's the use of this thing? The Zhou Da Speaker family doesn't lack that stuff." Li Manli said without caring after hearing this.

"You are short-sighted. Her family is not in need, but what about the families in the village who are in difficulty? What will you think then?" Pan Xiangqian said with hatred for iron.
Li Manli's eyes lit up after hearing this. As long as the news is released, it doesn't matter what others think, but those families in difficulty will definitely feel uncomfortable.

"Oh, I understand, but it's useless. It doesn't hurt Zhang Tiejun's family. Don't you believe that they can go to Zhang Tiejun's house shamelessly?" Although Li Manli roughly understood what Pan Xiangqian meant, but But still a little confused.

"Hehe, this is called a drop of water piercing a stone. Don't underestimate this. When you have the chance, it will be a big deal. Besides, you have to believe in Zhou Daxiao. She can tell you something about anything. Can you let this go? Good opportunity," Pan Xiangqian said with a smile.
Then Li Manli tidied up and went to Yang Fucai's house. She came out and went home not long after, and then Zhou Daxiao also walked out with excitement on his face.

But Zhang Peng and the others didn't notice at all. When they got home, they hung the bear bile on the beams to dry as usual. Wang Xiufen also smiled from ear to ear when she saw the bear bile, but she didn't see the bear meat. I also asked Zhang Peng and the others out of curiosity.

Following Zhang Peng's explanation, Wang Xiufen also understood the whole story. It was nothing. She also advised that it would be enough to get a piece of skin and bear bile and bear paws. We would talk about it later when we have the opportunity.
Zhang Peng and others didn't think anything of it. After all, this thing was picked up for free and it didn't cost much. The bear skin was given to Hou Da Mao. Although there were some holes in the skin, it could still be made into a leather hat and leather gloves. Yes, you can't buy this thing for money, and they don't lack the bearskin.

After chatting for a while, they dispersed, and Hou Da Mao returned home excitedly, carrying the bear skin on his back. Although the leather coat was rough, the leather hat and gloves could still be used for two sets.

In the next few days, Zhang Peng and the others went to harvest water dog skins. Maybe there were more water dogs here and it was an undeveloped area, so the harvest was not bad. They got five water dog skins, which made everyone very excited. , and finally searched around to remove the clip and wait for the water dog.

In the past few days, Zhang Peng has also been processing leather at home. These leathers need to be processed well, otherwise they will be ruined.
That day, when Zhang Peng was hanging the minced meat on the leather, he saw Hou Damao walking into the yard with a gloomy face. "What's wrong, Da Mao, who messed with you?" Zhang Peng said with a smile.
"Second brother, you don't know yet?" Hou Damao said with a solemn face.

"What's going on? I don't know."

"Now it's almost spreading in the village. It's said that you and Chunming's family secretly hunted things and hid them at home. In the village, families are in trouble and don't care if they ask for everything," Hou Damao said.

Zhang Peng was stunned for a moment when he heard Hou Damao's words. What does this mean? When did someone come to beg for help? Then he thought about it and realized that there is no smoke without fire. Someone is jealous of them.

"Do you know who spread the news?" Zhang Peng asked

"I'm not sure. Anyway, it has spread all over the village, and the words are quite unpleasant. I didn't come forward to say anything after hearing it. There are many mistakes in saying this. I think I still need to come over and discuss it with you." Da Mao said

"Well, you did the right thing. It's still unclear. But this kind of thing cannot have no source. It doesn't matter. There is a solution to everything. Let's just wait and see." Zhang Peng said to Hou Damao, who was also rare. He nodded seriously, knowing the importance of word of mouth in the village.

Although Zhang Peng said to wait and see what happens, he was already mumbling about this matter in his heart. First of all, to be honest, their family was very popular in the village. After all, they all lived in the same village, and the only ones who might be dissatisfied with them were That's Lao Pan's family. No wonder there has been no movement before. It turns out that I want to play dirty. That's easy to say. I'll just play with you.

When Zhang Tiejun and Zhao Decai came back in the evening, Zhang Peng mentioned this matter, but Zhang Tiejun and Zhao Decai had no reaction, as if they had known about it for a long time, while Zhao Chunming had an angry look on his face, and he only knew about it.

"Dad, Uncle Zhao, do you know about this?" Zhang Peng asked

"Well, your uncle and I have known this for a long time," Zhang Tiejun replied

"Ah? What should we do?" Zhang Peng asked

"Haha, what should I do? It's cool, let's cool off for a while. This period is at the cusp of the storm. It's useless no matter what you say when you go out. They only want to believe what they want to believe now, so they can only deal with it coldly. There is no other way," Zhao Decai said with a smile.
When Zhang Peng saw the smile on Zhao Decai's face, he knew that he was already confident about this matter, and he looked at Zhao Decai expectantly.

"Xiaopeng, don't look at me. The specific things will depend on the subsequent development. We can just show off the tricks. But I have already asked someone to find the source of the spread, and my solution is to need a bigger Suppress this matter, as long as it is covered, it will be fine," Zhao Decai said with a smile.
"Don't worry so much. This has nothing to do with you juniors. If Pan Xiangqian dares to reach out, we will chop off his claws." Zhang Tiejun also said at the side

Zhang Peng felt relieved after hearing this. The two old men had some protection when they took action. I guess they already had a way to deal with it.
