Return to 1983 Hunting Xing'an Mountains

Chapter 663: If you talk too much, you'll get slapped in the face! Is there a black blind man?

In the evening, when it was pitch black, the Xu family lit three lamps. Everyone sat around in the reception room, talking about what they had gained in the mountains that day.

When Liu Lizhen heard that Xu Laonian had opened his mouth to ask his son for animals, she frowned and cursed: "How dare you open your mouth! This guy is getting worse and worse!"

Meng Ziyan and Wang Shujuan persuaded him that everyone present was his family, so who could not understand Xu Laonian's character? It was normal for him to open his mouth to his family, but he would never open his mouth to outsiders.

Xu Ning waved his hand to indicate that it didn't matter. Even if they gave Xu Laonian two wild boars, they still had 40 points left. It would be a sure thing for them to get first place!
Li Fuqiang cut two strips of venison and asked Yang Shuhua to slice them and stir-fry a dish. When the food came out of the pot, Xu Ning and the others sat down around the table and started eating. They didn't wait for Xu Laonian and the others who were still dragging the animals in the mountains...

Xu Ning drank some wine with Lao Jiang, but only one glass, because they had to get up early to go into the mountains the next day, so after dinner Lao Jiang carried two pieces of venison home.

It was past 8 o'clock when the sound of a car was heard outside the yard. Xu Ning stood under the plastic shed to greet it. From a distance, he saw Xu Laonian grinning and barking, saying that the old sow was quite fat and the sow stewed with sauerkraut would definitely be delicious.

After they entered the house, Xu Laonian boasted to Liu Lizhen, but was silenced by Liu Lizhen's few words. He sat at the table in silence, feeling a little broken. He originally wanted to go home and chat with his wife, but he didn't expect that this little brat was so quick to talk and told her everything he had done.

Wang Erli consoled him softly, but Liu Daming said bluntly, "Brother-in-law, Erning was the one who beat him, but you insisted on taking responsibility! If this gets out, how can you survive in the forest farm?"

"Get lost, what's it to you?"

Liu Lizhen threw the dish on the table and gnashed her teeth, "Hurry up and kill!"

"Hey, okay, Jane, can't you drink a little? It's tiring to run in the mountains all day..."

"Don't you have hands?" Liu Lizhen said unhappily.

"I didn't get your consent, so I have to file a report first, right? Otherwise, I'll get scolded."

"If you don't want to be scolded, don't do shameless things!"

"Your own son, as a father, can't even open your mouth?"

"..."

On the side, Li Tielin put down his chopsticks and wine glass, and discussed with Xu Ning what to do tomorrow morning. Xu Ning told him that he didn't need to come to pick him up tomorrow morning, and they would drive to the forest farm by themselves, but they would have to go to Ximaduozi to wait in the evening, because when hunting, you can't be sure where to go, it could be Ximaduozi, or it could be Shuangfengling...

After Li Tielin left, Xu Laonian said, "We still have to go to the forest farm with you tomorrow morning?"

"Don't you have to register? Don't you want the three wild boars?"

"Oh, that's not good! The deer..."

Upon hearing this, Liu Lizhen turned around abruptly and slapped him with her big hand, "How can you be so shameless! Still want a deer? I told you to have a deer! I told you to have..."

Xu Laonian was slapped so hard that he ran and hid, and hurried into the east room. Seeing this, Wang Erli, Liu Daming, Li Fuqiang and others stood up with a smile and took their wives home.

The kang in the west room had already been covered with a quilt. Xu Ning was sitting on a stool soaking his feet, while Meng Ziyan was washing his socks and leggings beside him. The two of them were chatting in low voices about family matters.

"Today, Brother Jun and Sister Cuiping are having dinner at home. I saw the two children playing together happily."

Xu Ning wiped his gun and said, "Li Tong is quite sensible, but she gets a little bit stubborn when she gets angry. She takes after her father."

"Well, at noon I went to the store to buy two cans of food for my sister-in-law, and heard the old woman in the store gossiping again..."

"It's quite normal. There's nothing to do in the village, so why not gossip? They don't have the experience to talk about national affairs. Why is there no canned food at home?"

"They were all gone. My sister-in-law wanted to eat some hawthorns, but my mother was afraid she would get heartburn, so I went to buy two bottles of canned yellow peaches. I was thinking about when I would have time to go to the street to buy some apples."

"Then you have to go early, otherwise it will be out of season. Otherwise, you can tell Jun brother tomorrow and ask him to go to the street to buy it. It will be a good opportunity to take the children for a stroll in the street."

"That's fine... What if there's nothing on the street?"

"Then let him go to the city to buy it. He can take the child with him..."

"Hahaha, stop using this excuse."

That night, nothing happened.

The next day, at daybreak, Xu Ning put on his clothes and walked out of the house.

Xu Laonian was spotted in the courtyard. He was chatting with a group of dogs in front of the doghouse. He muttered, "No way? Well, I'll lead you to run. I'm pretty nimble and I know how to run fast..."

"Why are you chatting with a dog so early in the morning? Do you and dogs have a common language?"

"Get lost! We have something in common! You are just talking nonsense, it's annoying!"

After saying that, Xu Laonian walked towards the gate of the courtyard with his gun on his back, without even thinking about helping Xu Ning untie the dog leash.

However, Xu Ning had misunderstood this matter. He first opened the gate and welcomed Wang Erli and Wang Hu in. Then the three of them walked to the doghouse and helped Xu Ning untie the dog leashes.

"Son, how about we change places? We go to Laoniugou and you go to Ximaduozi."

"How far is Lao Niu Gou? Can you old people walk there?"

Wang Hu laughed secretly, Xu Laonian glared and jumped on the spot: "My legs and feet don't need any effort at all! Do you know that? Do you think I'm making trouble with you?"

Wang Erli said, "Brother, let's stop struggling and just go to Ximaduozi to hunt. We already tracked them down yesterday, so we will definitely be able to hunt the animals today."

"What do you know? I heard from others that there are black bears in Laoniugou. If I can kill one of them, won't I get 30 points directly?"

Xu Ning led the dog and walked out of the yard, asking, "Who told you that there are black bears in Laoniugou?"

"That's what they say. A few days ago, someone was watching in Laoniugou. It was a black bear weighing 400 to 500 kilograms! I guess they might be hiding it. Why am I telling you this? I'm telling you, if you catch a black bear, you have to give me a share, and I'll give you the letter."

"Brother, you are such a jerk. It doesn't matter whether you gave me the letter or not."

Xu Ning nodded: "Not bad, I also said there are black bears in Ximaduozi, if you can beat them, I will give you a share."

"You're just talking bullshit. I don't want to talk nonsense with you!"

They first carried the dog into the car, then everyone got in, picked up Li Fuqiang, Guan Lei, Lao Jiang and Liu Daming halfway, and drove straight to the forest farm.

When we arrived at the forest farm, we saw Xiao Liu sitting at the table in front of the cafeteria. A group of people were queuing up to register. Since they got home late last night, many hunting teams chose to register this morning.

"Hey, Xiao Xu Pao! What did you catch yesterday? I caught three wild boars and picked up a roe deer on the way. Tell me, our luck is really good!"

Wang Linhai found an opportunity to come in front of Xu Ning and started talking nonsense as soon as they met.

Xu Ning looked at the man with some disgust and said, "Get lost, where did this idiot come from?"

"Hey, why are you still swearing?"

Li Fuqiang stepped forward and punched him in the chest, saying, "Scold you? I'll hit you! Why are you pretending to be such a jerk? You're looking for trouble so early in the morning. I think you're out of your mind!"

"Oh, you dare to do it..."

At this time, Xu Laonian took two steps forward, raised his hand and slapped it. The crisp sound of "slap" drowned out the surrounding noise, and there was an absolute silence.

Everyone turned their eyes to him, and Xu Laonian said calmly, "Do you know who I am?"

Wang Linhai was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, I know him."

"You know me but you're still looking for trouble? What the hell are you doing? Get lost now!" Wang Linhai rolled his eyes, staring at Xu Laonian, then at Xu Ning, and the group of people behind him, and suddenly shouted loudly: "The accountant of the forestry farm is beating people! The accountant of the forestry farm is beating people! Oh my god, look at the face he slapped me..."

A group of people around burst into laughter. The loud speaker came forward and said, "You deserve it! Everyone is annoyed with you, don't you know? Why are you pretending to be so arrogant in front of me, my brother?"

Guan Lei said: "We killed three wild boars, and then we picked up a roe deer and started to show off. If we killed four wild boars and two deer, should we go to the moon to chat with Chang'e?"

"Hahaha, of course! My brother-in-law is familiar with this job."

The originally serious occasion was made a little funny by their conversation.

At this time, Guo Xingmin glanced at the crowd and gave Xiao Liu a look. Xiao Liu then went into the crowd and said, "Who is making trouble here? What do you want to do? This is a forest farm! Is this a place for you to show off?"

Wang Linhai was stunned, then he said after a while: "They are fighting me, and you are taking sides?"

"Stop talking nonsense! Who saw you guys fighting?"

The loud speaker started to shout, "I didn't see it!"

"I didn't see it either..."

Xiao Liu turned around and said, "Did you hear that? Behave yourself. I've noticed that you're not being honest since yesterday. You always quarrel with everyone. Why are you so willing to stir up trouble?"

"Who is trying to stir up trouble? Isn't this just a normal chat? I just said a few words and he punched me and slapped me in the face..."

"You deserve it! Okay, everyone, stop crowding around. After you've registered, go inside and eat."

The loud speaker nearby said a few words and led most people into the cafeteria.

Xiao Liu didn't talk to Xu Laonian, Xu Ning and others. He just hurried back to the table, picked up a pen and continued to register.

Wang Linhai was filled with indignation and was about to explode when he was pulled aside by his nephew.

"Uncle, how can you not tell the difference between a man and a woman? You said that normally when you are in the village, the people there don't want to talk to you. You have only been out for a day, how many people are willing to talk to you..."

"You are talking to me? I am happy to do whatever I want. You are just too old, so just fly away."

"Hey, uncle! The Xu family owns a forest farm, and even the secretary and the farm manager have to give them some face. What do you think of us..."

"Where were you when I was getting beaten? You're such a loser! Your uncle got slapped in the face, and you didn't come up to help?"

"Why should I help? Xu Ning is really bad. He slapped me in the face when I was in school. And how many people are there? There are only three of us."

"Then you're screwed too! Stop talking to me and get out!"

"..."

While waiting in line to register, Da Laba and others came over and asked, "Brother, you shot four wild boars and two deer yesterday? Oh my god, you will definitely get first place."

Wang Hu said with a smile: "Brother, I won't brag to you. To be exact, we killed six wild boars and two deer yesterday, but my father and my uncle didn't kill them, so we gave them two pigs."

"Oh, that's pretty cool!" Old Han was also amazed by Xu Ning's efficiency.

Lan Dadan asked, "How did you guys do it? Guoxing led us to hunt the dogs yesterday, and we only caught two wild boars."

Xu Ning said with a smile: "The dogs at home are good. My brother has four dogs, which can at most tie up one pig, but the dogs at home can tie up three."

"You have a pretty tough handle on this. A dog can tie up three pigs, so why don't you beat three of them?" Li Mazi said.

Da Loudspeaker curled his lips and said, "Wang Linhai is still pretending to be cool, what's the point of pretending? But my uncle is really cool, he will give him a thunderous ear when he goes up to him!"

Li Fuqiang laughed and said, "What else is there to say! Even cutting him would make his hands hurt. How can this guy be so rude?"

"He is just like that. He is the kind of guy who bullies the weak and fears the strong."

After Xu Ning walked to the table and told the number, someone went to check. After seeing the wild boars and deer in Lao Dongfeng's car, he nodded to Xiao Liu, who then lowered his head and wrote in the notebook: Qing'an Xu Ning's team harvested four wild boars and two deer on the first day, and was awarded forty points.

Xiao Liu whispered, "You are now in second place. There is a team in Shengfeng that is in first place. They killed five roe deer and two wild boars yesterday."

"Ah, it's okay..."

Xu Laonian frowned from behind and said, "How about we also count the two you gave me?"

Xiao Liu wondered: "Why are there two more?"

"We didn't catch anything yesterday, but he took two wild boars from us."

"Then count it in, it'll make up 50 points."

"No, let's just leave it like this for now. There are still two days left anyway. Who will deliver the meat to the village later?"

"It was Li Tielin who delivered the meat to Qing'antun. Why didn't he sell one of the deer to the forest farm?"

Xu Laonian smiled and said, "Then our family will take the lead and sell one and keep one."

"Okay! I'll soak the scales then, you guys go into the cabin and eat."

After saying that, Xu Ning, Xu Laonian and others entered the hut. After seeing Zheng Yunlong and Guo Xingmin, they both smiled and asked everyone to sit down.

Asked about what happened just now, Xu Ning briefly explained the situation. Guo Xingmin said, "I've heard that Wang Linhai is a bad mouth, but we can't intervene."

"I know. Didn't Xiao Liu speak up?"

Zheng Yunlong said, "Then let's forget about it. If he causes trouble again, the forest farm won't need him to hunt. Hey, Erning, you haven't forgotten about the specimens the city wants, have you?"

"How could I forget? I've been looking for an opportunity. I sent a wild boar weighing over 700 kilograms before, but I didn't want anything under 700 kilograms. I was thinking of sending a large animal."

"It's OK as long as you haven't forgotten. A few days ago, Lao Lu from the city called me and said he was a little anxious. It seemed that someone from the province was coming to inspect."

"Ah, then I'll see if there's any chance. You know you have to take your time with the animals in the mountains. Don't be impatient."

"Don't be in a hurry, safety is the priority."

After breakfast, everyone took a car into the mountains again.

But when they arrived at Qing'antun, Xu Ning and Li Tielin changed cars to avoid unloading the meat.

Xu Laonian entered the mountain from the west peak of Ximaduozi, while Xu Ning and others still entered from Xiaofeng Mountain in Shuangfengling.

They walked the trap and picked up three pheasants and two jumping cats. After throwing them into the car, they and the dog gang ran towards Laoniugou again.

Perhaps it was because the gunshots were too loud yesterday and scared the animals away. After wandering around in the mountains for an afternoon, the blue wolf, the spotted wolf, and the black wolf did not make a sound.

As it was almost noon, they found a leeward slope to have a simple meal. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, they killed two wild boars in the woods south of the back garden.

Before the wild boar was gutted, the blue wolf started barking again, but the spotted wolf and the black wolf did not bark, which meant that the prey was quite far away.

Xu Ning hurriedly shouted, "Hu Zi, stay and disembowel him. Brother Shi Tou, let's go!"
