Return to 1983 Hunting Xing'an Mountains

Chapter 671: No Humanity for Not Recognizing Relatives! I Can't Hold My Head Up

At first, Chang Lihong was extremely panicked when she saw Li Feng's miserable state. She was afraid that Li Feng would pass away and that her child who was still breastfeeding would be left without a father. When she heard that Li Feng was fine, she was filled with anger. After she saw her two brothers, her anger gradually dissipated, replaced by disappointment, loneliness, and a heart that was pierced with holes...

So when she stood in the middle of the crowd and told about what Li Feng encountered in the mountains, she was very calm. She didn't shout or curse at the Chang brothers.

After hearing what he said, Gao Yanhong and Zhang Yan turned their heads away and stared at the two brothers coldly, wishing they could bite their back teeth off. At the same time, they were angry at the two brothers' disappointing performance!
When the two brothers went hiking a few days ago, they specifically told them that Li Feng didn't hike often and asked them to take better care of him. But they didn't expect that the two of them actually let Li Feng pull the two animals by himself while they strolled leisurely...

When they encountered a tiger today, the two men ran away first, leaving Li Feng behind and sending him into the tiger's mouth. Although the Chang brothers were covered in blood and had red and swollen faces, Gao Yanhong and Zhang Yan did not feel any sympathy. They just wished they could pull out the tendons and bones of the two brothers and teach them how to behave themselves again!

Among the crowd standing around, Yu Kaihe and Niu Baotian looked at each other. Originally, the two brothers wanted to give some advice, but after hearing what had happened, they kept their words back. Besides, this was the family affair of the Chang brothers and sisters, so they just wanted to watch the fun.

Chang Lihong did not cry or make a fuss, but just said calmly: "Originally, Li Feng ran to Liushugou after being scratched on the back by a tiger. But after hearing the tiger roar and gunshots, he thought of going back to help the two of them fight the tiger. Unexpectedly, the two of them ran away first, and Li Feng encountered a tiger again. This time, the tiger almost had his neck bitten off. Fortunately, Xu Ning and his brothers came over and saved my Li Feng's life."

Gao Yanhong didn't know how to comfort the girl, so she just stepped forward and slapped Chang Xifeng on the left cheek. The crisp sound cheered the crowd.

"How can you be so inhumane? He's your brother-in-law, and you two are just running away like that?"

Seeing her sister-in-law taking action, Zhang Yan took the initiative to slap Chang Beifeng five or six times, cursing: "I think you are not a good person! Is it right for you to do this? Ah! I'll slap you to death..."

The Chang brothers were beaten and retreated four or five steps. Chang Beifeng cried out, "What does it have to do with me? I was pinned to the ground by the tiger and passed out. Look at where my head was rubbed. Look at my chest, it's all covered in blood..."

Chang Xifeng raised his hands to block the tiger twice and shouted, "We were both pressed into the snow by the tiger and passed out. When we woke up, we went to look for him, but he had already run to Liushugou. What could we do? Could we chase him to Liushugou with our legs and feet..."

The crowd was silent, just listening.

Chang Lihong smiled and said, "Brother, let's not talk about this anymore. Since you two think it's right, then it's right. As your younger sister, I can't blame you two."

The Chang brothers frowned upon hearing this and said, "We were not wrong in the first place!"

Zhang Yan raised her hand and slapped Chang Beifeng in the face, "You are not fucking wrong? Li Feng almost died in the mountains, how could you be wrong?"

Chang Beifeng was so mad that he jumped up and down, shouting, "My face is so swollen, why are you slapping me here? Can't you just slap me on the other side?"

Gao Yanhong was so angry that her mind became confused after hearing this. She pointed at Chang Beifeng and cursed, "Go to hell! You are such an inhuman thing!"

Zhang Yan got the order and attacked with both hands, fanning Chang Bei so hard that he sat on the ground, unable to get up. His brain was spinning as if it was in the drum of a washing machine.

Chang Xifeng said nothing. He stared at his sister with a gloomy face. He found that Chang Lihong was no longer as close to him as when they were children. When did she become distant from him? It might be when the two of them were trying to snatch Chang Danian's property.

Chang Lihong pulled Gao Yanhong's arm and said, "Sister-in-law, since my Li Feng has nothing to do, I will go back first."

"I'll go with you to check on Li Feng. Li Feng needs money for treatment. Your second sister-in-law and I will pay for it."

Hearing this, Chang Lihong felt relieved, but could she accept it?

"No need, sister-in-law. My Li Feng has been making a lot of money lately. It's not worth the money for the treatment. Please go inside and don't let everyone watch the fun because of this."

At this time, the crowd had gradually dispersed, and neither Yu Kaihe nor Niu Baotian showed up, but they had already decided not to get too involved with the Chang brothers in the future.

When Chang Lihong left, she didn't even look at her two brothers. She just waved to her two sisters-in-law. When she disappeared around the corner, Gao Yanhong pinched her waist and waved her hands, sighed heavily, and said, "Come in!"

Chang Beifeng's mouth and eyes were crooked, and he was crying because of the beating from Zhang Yan. He grabbed Chang Xifeng's arm and sobbed, "Brother, why are you hitting me? Look at how you hit me..."

"I wasn't beaten, was I? Just go inside."

The four of them entered the house. Gao Yanhong grabbed the firewood stick standing at the foot of the wall and rushed towards Chang Xifeng, gritting her teeth and cursing: "Are you a human being? I'm going to kill you today. You've made us lose face in the village! You inhuman thing..."

Chang Xifeng was very angry when he saw his wife rushing towards him. He was almost killed by the tiger today, and was scolded by his own sister when he arrived at the door. His wife also slapped him several times in front of everyone. Now, he had just entered the house and hadn't even waited to clean the wound when his wife picked up a fire poker and rushed towards him. How could he not be angry?

So, after Chang Xifeng took the stick, he grabbed the fire stick and threw it out the door. Gao Yanhong was stunned when she saw this, "You still want to hit me? Ah! I work like a cow and a horse for your family, and now you want to hit me?"

Chang Xifeng sighed and said, "When did I ever hit you? Beifeng and I almost died in the mountains. At that time, we were really going to die, so what would you and the child do..."

Chang Beifeng stood bent over in front of the stove, wiping his tears and said, "It's not that bad. My eldest brother left a will at the time, saying that if he died, he would let you remarry and I would raise the child."

"You're just talking bullshit!"

Although Gao Yanhong and Zhang Yan were angry, their anger subsided a lot after hearing what the two brothers said. After all, they were a real family.

"Yan'er, get them some water to wash. I'll go get the medicine..."

Zhang Yan paused and nodded: "Sister-in-law, we can't hold our heads up in the village anymore. Let's go somewhere else. We have some savings at home now, so why not go to Ji Province and find a place to hide."

Gao Yanhong shook her head: "It's not that easy to leave. The children are all in school, and it's hard to get a letter of introduction for transferring schools. Let's do this for now. I'll go to the store and buy some canned food and other things to send to Li Feng, and buy some medicine by the way."

"Sister-in-law, let's go together."

Gao Yanhong saw that the two brothers' injuries were not fatal, so she nodded and said, "Let's go."

The Chang brothers didn't dare to say anything. After all, they were there to clean up the mess for the two of them. Besides, the injuries on their bodies looked serious. Most of them were skin injuries. The most serious one was the bruise on Chang Xifeng's neck, which would be fine after resting for a while.

The two sisters-in-law first went to the store to buy canned food, glutinous rice cakes and other things. Of course, they did not forget to buy a pack of cigarettes and two bottles of wine for Xu Ning. After all, it was Xu Ning who saved Li Feng's life. It must be said that they did a good job, but they were dealt with an irresponsible man.

There were already people in the shop talking about how they had encountered a tiger in the mountains. When they saw the two girls come in, they stopped talking for a while and only continued gossiping after they left.

This kind of thing spreads very quickly. It took less than half a day for it to spread to Taiping, and then from Taiping to Taihe and other villages. Gao Yanhong and Zhang Yan felt ashamed to face people, but they could do nothing about it. The incident had already happened. Could time go back? Even if time could go back, I'm sure the Chang brothers would still do the same thing!
After all, if they went to find Li Feng, they might be pounced on by the tiger again, and the consequences can be imagined. So the two sisters-in-law were both relieved and annoyed, with very complicated emotions.

When the two of them arrived at Old Zhang's house, Zhang Yinshan's wife went out to greet them. After entering the house, they saw Old Deng adjusting Li Feng's bones. Chang Lihong stood up and greeted her two sisters-in-law.

"What are you doing, sister-in-law..."

"Thank goodness Li Feng is fine. If he really got into trouble, we would be too ashamed to face anyone! He is not a good person. He gave Li Feng a bad mouth. Brother Xu, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, my brother-in-law would really have gotten into trouble. Those two conscienceless people in my family are bad at doing things. Don't be like them."

Xu Ning looked at the cigarettes and alcohol Gao Yanhong handed over and said with a smile, "What's this for? Li Feng is your brother-in-law, so he is also my brother Feng. Not to mention my brother Feng, even if he is someone I don't know, I have to lend a hand if I meet him on the mountain."

"Just accept it. I know your family has everything, but this is a token of my appreciation." Xu Ning smiled and shook his head. He definitely couldn't accept it, because saving Li Feng had nothing to do with the Chang brothers. It was purely a private relationship between the two of them. What was the point of accepting cigarettes and alcohol sent by two sisters-in-law?
At one side, Li Feng cried out "Oh my God!" He was completely impressed by Old Deng's bone-setting skills, and his tears fell on the edge of the kang.

Chang Lihong turned her head to take a look, then took the cigarettes and alcohol handed to her by Gao Yanhong and said, "Sister-in-law, I won't be polite with you. I'll accept the cigarettes and alcohol. We'll do what we should do in the future, but I definitely won't have those two brothers anymore."

Zhang Yan said, "Lihong, he is your brother after all. How can you do this to him? This will make the villagers laugh at you."

"Second sister-in-law, actually, I didn't like them before you married them. At that time, my uncle was very nice to them, but how did they do it? Later, when I married Li Feng, they secretly asked Li Feng for 20 yuan. I knew that I would go to them later, but you and my second aunt don't know about this, right?"

Chang Lihong continued, "That's why when I gave birth, they only went to take a look, and the uncle didn't even reach out to hug his nephew..."

At this point, the two sisters-in-law were speechless. They really didn't know about this and could only sigh.

Old Deng straightened up and clapped his hands, saying, "His waist needs to be healed for half a year. He can't do heavy work during this half year. Let's send him to the hospital later. He needs two injections to reduce inflammation and a DPT injection."

Zhang Yinshan said, "We have to queue up to get a DPT shot at the health center, right?"

"No need, just let Er Ning say hello to Xiao Zhou."

Zhang Yinshan turned around and said with a smile: "Erning has a wide network of contacts. You must introduce him to Uncle Zhang in the future."

Xu Ning smiled and said, "Okay..."

At this time, a man walked in from the gate of the courtyard. It was Yang Jun who was stationed in Lengchang.

After he entered the room, he was stunned for a moment and asked, "How is Li Feng?"

"Why did you come down the mountain?"

Yang Jun blushed and said, "I wanted to take a look at Cuiping... I just heard her say that Li Feng got into trouble on the mountain. What happened?"

"Oh, don't mention it..."

After Chang Lihong finished her brief explanation, Yang Jun frowned and said, "How can these two brothers be so inhumane?"

"Brother Jun, that's enough. Li Feng is fine now, so don't say the rest."

Gao Yanhong and Zhang Yan felt quite awkward standing there, so they asked Zhang Yinshan for some pills, medical alcohol and gauze. After giving them the money, they said hello to Chang Lihong and left.

Yang Jun looked at the two women and said, "They are the Chang brothers' wives, right? It's true that anyone can find a good wife."

"What's the matter, Jun, are you jealous?"

"Why should I be envious? Didn't I find a good wife in my second marriage?"

Everyone laughed twice, and Li Feng said with a smile: "Brother Jun, you have to hold on tight."

"You have to hurry up. Once you get well, I'll do something with your sister-in-law. Don't you have to go to the street clinic? I just happen to be free, so I'll take you there now."

Xu Ning asked, "Is there nothing wrong with the silence?"

"It's okay. Now they treat Lengchang as their home. They keep the house cleaner than mine and work very hard. The Liu brothers who came from Wanye check the chainsaws and axes all day long. With them watching, nothing can be lost."

"Then let's give them some meat tomorrow. It's been a few days since we slaughtered pigs."

"I just stewed some meat for them yesterday. I can stew two more pots tomorrow. It will be a good opportunity for them to finish work early..."

Xu Ning nodded and said, "Then you can take Brother Feng to the health center. I'll call the health center and you two can get the injections when you get there. Come back quickly after you're done."

"Okay! Who should I look for at the place?"

"Looking for Director Zhou Hezhou..."

Chang Lihong passed over some cigarettes and alcohol from the edge of the kang and said, "Brother Jun, take these things to Director Zhou. We can't let him work in vain."

"Lihong can do it."

"Hey, this was given to Erning by my two sisters-in-law. Erning didn't want it, so I accepted it."

Immediately, Li Fuqiang drove Lao Deng home, Yang Jun, Liu Daming and Lao Jiang drove Li Feng to the health center for an injection, and Xu Ning, Guan Lei and Wang Hu turned and went to the village headquarters.

When the three of them arrived at the village headquarters, they saw Xu Laonian and Wang Erli chatting with Du Shoucai. Xu Ning chatted with them for a few words and then called the health center. A nurse answered the phone. After waiting for about 10 minutes, Zhou He called back.

Xu Ning briefly explained the matter, and Zhou He said it was a small matter. He happened to be on duty today, and he could give Li Feng the injection directly when he arrived. Xu Ning also asked him to help check it out, what if there was a chronic disease?

After hanging up the phone, Xu Laonian said, "I just talked to the forest farm. Secretary Zheng went to the city for a meeting and won't be back until tomorrow. Your uncle Guo wanted to come visit the three of them, but the forest farm is counting the livestock points, so he can only wait for Secretary Zheng to come back tomorrow."

Wang Erli said, "You can send the animals to the forest farm later. It's not dark yet, so it's just in time for dinner."

"Okay, then how is the forest farm going to deal with the tiger?"

Xu Laonian said, "We need to hold a meeting to study this, right? I estimate it will take two or three days to get a result. If it can be vaccinated, we will have to go through several more days of formalities."

Li Fuqiang curled his lips and said, "What a waste of time! It's already hurting people. Just approve the procedures and kill it."

"It's not that easy..."

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, hunting of Siberian tigers has been prohibited. In 72, it was included in the red endangered species protection list, and in 76 it was listed as a protected species by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. Therefore, if a tiger injures someone in the forest area, approval must be obtained before it can be hunted.

This requires a local meeting to discuss this, but as to how long this meeting will take, that is hard to say.
