Return to 1983 Hunting Xing'an Mountains

Chapter 691: Two people who died in one night are heartbroken. It’s okay…

At the edge of the old forest on the north side of Shuangfeng Mountain, a vicious tiger weighing more than 500 kilograms opened its bloody mouth and roared to the sky. The deafening sound resounded through the sky. The tiger's roar could be heard very far, about six or seven miles away, and Taiping Village, which was closest to Shuangfeng Mountain, could not hear it. However, some people who went into the mountains to collect firewood heard the tiger's roar and were so scared that they threw the firewood and ran away...

At this time, Wang Linhai's nephew had already died. His abdomen was torn open by fangs, cotton wool was flying everywhere, and blood dyed the white snow red. There were four bloody holes on his neck. The bleeding had now stopped, and blood ice had formed around the blood holes.

Until his death, he never thought that Yang Dong would dare to be so cruel, let alone turn around and hit the tiger with an axe when it pounced on him. If Yang Dong did not turn around and swing the axe, he would rush forward two steps, push Yang Dong to the ground, let the tiger attack Yang Dong first, and give him a chance to escape!
But after all the calculations, I was still half a step short...

In the snow, Yang Dong buried himself in the snow. When he heard the tiger's roar, he suddenly felt the floodgates open wide, and then a hot current spread across his crotch. It was obvious that he was scared to death by the tiger's roar.

The vicious tiger chewed very loudly, and there were crunching sounds from time to time. Yang Dong didn't dare to move. He didn't even have the courage to move a finger. He could hear his own heartbeat, especially when the tiger raised its claws and moved, his heartbeat became even more chaotic.

He was afraid of being discovered by the tiger and becoming a meal along with Wang Lin's nephew.

The area was completely silent. Why was it so quiet? The reason was that there was a vicious tiger. Xu Ning's decision this afternoon was correct. When he saw the dogs shaking their legs in fear, he knew that the tiger had not gone far.

Why didn't he go back to the village and use a loud speaker to tell the villagers not to go into the mountains because there was a tiger? Xu Ning had no obligation to do so. Besides, he had already told Chang Danian, Yu Kaihe and others. As for Wang Changhai and Yang Dong, Xu Ning was not their biological father. How could he have rushed to their homes to tell them?
The handle of the axe buried in the snow was stained red with blood. When Yang Dong swung the axe, he only hit the shoulder of Wang Linhai's nephew with the back of the axe, breaking his collarbone, but there was no bleeding.

Time passed minute by minute. The evil tiger swallowed twice, then opened its mouth and picked up Wang Linhai's nephew and ran towards Mangtou Mountain, dragging him along the way, leaving a trace on the flat snow.

Yang Dong hid in the snow and endured the stinging pain of the melting snow on his face, but he still didn't dare to move. He was afraid that the tiger would make a feint to the east and attack in the west. What if he just made a move and the tiger didn't leave and bit him again? That would be really troublesome.

About six or seven minutes later, Yang Dong's hands and feet were almost frozen, and he finally hunched over and crawled out of the snow. As it was already completely dark, Yang Dong stayed there for only three or four seconds. He took a quick glance at the first scene of Wang Linhai's nephew's death, then bent down to pick up the axe and went straight into the old forest.

The snow in the old forest was thick, almost covering his knees. He carried the axe and walked forward with difficulty, muttering as he walked: "I won't turn back. If I turn back, I will die. You deserve it. Who told you to cheat me of my money..."

Yang Dong muttered to himself as he tried to give himself courage. It was not that he didn't dare to look back, but he was afraid that if he looked back he would see a pair of yellow eyes!

But as he was walking, he heard a rustling sound behind him. Yang Dong paused for a moment, gritted his teeth and thought, "If I stop, I will die. If I don't stop, I will also die. So I will just take bigger steps forward!"

At this moment, Yang Dong's mood was extremely complicated. He recalled the past, playing with money, scolding his wife and beating his children, pointing at his own father's nose and scolding him for being an old man, slapping his mother twice, and pushing her to go back to her parents' home...

All these things were done by Yang Dong, but his family members, for the sake of face, never told anyone about it, so even the most trustworthy person didn't know about it.

In the final analysis, Yang Dong is even more hateful than Li San and Li Shan! He is truly selfish and lives only for himself, otherwise would he have done something like turning around and chopping Wang Linhai's nephew with an axe?
The further he walked, the colder he felt. It felt like a gust of cold wind was blowing on his back. Suddenly, a strong wind blew and made him shiver. Then the rustling sound behind him became louder.

Yang Dong looked back reflexively, and then he saw a pair of yellow eyes staring at him. Before he could come to his senses, the yellow eyes were only three or four meters away from him.

The vicious tiger leaped up and pounced in front of Yang Dong in the blink of an eye, opening its bloody mouth and biting Yang Dong's neck fiercely! !

With a crackling sound, Yang Dong's head was smashed like a watermelon by a sledgehammer, and the watermelon juice splashed everywhere...

The axe fell on the snow with a dull sound, and Yang Dong was dragged away by the tiger.

At night, thin clouds covered the moon, and the stars were shining brightly. The moonlight shone on the snowy mountains and forests, reflecting a burly figure...

The next day, it was early in the morning.

Yang Jun drove from Lengchang to Lao Xu's house. He wanted to ask Xu Ning to go to the street with him, because he had to do something with Sun Cuiping the next day. In addition to asking Xu Long to buy vegetables and meat in the city, he also had to buy some cigarettes, alcohol, sugar and tea at home.

When everyone was sitting at the table and eating, Liu Lizhen asked, "Jun, have you cleaned up your room?"

"It's all ready. The little girl did it. Aunt, let's hold the banquet in my second uncle's old room tomorrow. There are only a few tables and they are all family members. I don't care about face. I just want everyone to get together and have fun."

"Okay! This is the menu Shuhua prepared. Take a look at these dishes. What do you think?"

Yang Jun took a quick look, nodded and smiled, "Very good! My favorite is the Four Happiness Meatballs. This thing shouldn't be hard to make, right?"

"It's worth it. You and Xiao Jiang have the same menu. Start preparing tonight and it will be finished by noon tomorrow."

Although Yang Jun and Sun Cuiping were both remarried, in Qing'an, the wedding banquet was held at noon, while in some places, the banquet was held in the evening...

After dinner, Yang Jun and Xu Ning drove towards the street. They took the narrow road on the west side of Taipingtun. As soon as they reached the fork in the road, they saw Wang Linhai and Yang Dong's father arguing...

"Stop talking nonsense! Yesterday your son chased my nephew into the woods with a big axe and didn't come back all night. Shouldn't I come over to ask about it?"

"Why are you asking me? What do I owe you?"

Wang Linhai was surprised and asked, "Hey, what are you talking about? Isn't Yang Dong your son?"

"I don't have a son like him. I wouldn't care if he died outside!"

The car drove by slowly. When Xu Ning heard that Yang Dong chased Wang Linhai's nephew into the old forest, he unconsciously looked towards the old forest in the south.

Yang Jun stepped on the brakes, because he was somewhat related to Yang Dong's father, and muttered to Xu Ning: "Brother, let me ask what's going on first."

He pushed open the door, put his feet on the ground, walked around the front of the car, and asked, "Uncle, what's going on?"

"How would I know what was going on? He blocked my door early in the morning and insisted on asking me for his nephew..."

Wang Linhai glanced at Xu Ning who was sitting in the car and said, "Yesterday, my nephew was chased into the mountains by Yang Dong with a big axe. He didn't come home all night, so I thought I'd come over to ask about him."

Yang Jun frowned and said, "Perhaps they just went to a place to play for money. It's impossible for them to really fight."

"I was so angry yesterday..."

"Even if you get angry, you can't kill anyone. Can Yang Dong really kill your nephew? How can he have the guts to do that?"

Although Yang Dong's father didn't agree, he nodded and said, "Anyway, I don't know anything. He's always away from home, and I don't even think of him as my son. What do you want from me?"

Wang Linhai frowned. At this time, Xu Ning, who was sitting in the car, opened the door and said, "I saw a tiger in the old forest yesterday. You guys go into the mountains and look for it."

"What the hell? Spotted a tiger? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Xu Ning smiled and said, "Is it my fucking duty to you? Do I need to tell you about your wife raising a man?"

"Hey, what are you talking about?"

Yang Jun tilted his head and pushed Wang Linhai, saying in a deep voice: "Just chatting like this! Are you dissatisfied?"

Wang Linhai was pushed and took two steps back without saying a word. Yang Jun turned his head and said, "Uncle, my brother said there is a tiger in the forest. You two can go into the mountains together to have a look."

Yang Dong's father said, "Why don't you go with me?"

"Don't you know I'm going to do something tomorrow?"

"I don't know, I haven't heard of it."

Yang Jun laughed and said, "You have a really bad memory. When I went to your house last week, I sat on the kang and told you and my aunt. Yang Dong was sitting in the west room and heard it. Is your hearing so bad now?" "What is this kid talking about? I will definitely go to give a gift tomorrow."

"You don't need to bring a gift, just come over and have a drink, and then we're leaving."

After saying that, Yang Jun turned around and got back into the car, stepped on the accelerator and drove into the street.

Wang Linhai and Yang Dong's father, who were standing there, looked at each other, and both were silent.

"Then let's go to the woods together to have a look. We hope we don't run into a big cat..."

Yang Dong's father waved his hand and said, "You go if you want to go! I won't go! It's better if he dies. We can find a place to bury him. There's no need to burn paper for him!"

Wang Linhai looked at the back of Yang Dong's father leaving, and his head was a little confused. It seemed that Yang Dong's relationship with his family was not good. It was not like what Yang Dong said, that the father was kind and the son was filial at home...

There was really no other way, so Wang Linhai hurried back to the village, called a few villagers, and went into the mountains with his old hunting rifle and double-barreled hunting rifle.

A lot of time was wasted going back and forth. When he entered the woods from the south, it was already half past ten. At this time, Xu Ning and Yang Jun had both returned after shopping.

Yang Jun spent 150 yuan on shopping. He bought five boxes of Wuliangye, 10 cartons of Yingchun cigarettes, 20 kilograms of various candies, and 20 kilograms of melon seeds and peanuts...

As soon as the car stopped in the open space in front of Lao Xu's house, the sound of a loudspeaker was heard coming from the yard.

"I heard that Yang Dong and Wang Linhai's nephew did not go home all night, and went to the old forest in the south. I thought he must have run into a big cat, otherwise why didn't he go home? Wang Linhai's nephew often goes to the mountains, it's impossible for him to go to Mada Mountain..."

Li Fuqiang said: "If they really encounter a big cat, they will definitely not be able to survive. How can they be as lucky as the Chang brothers?"

"That's what I thought. When the big cat attacked the Chang brothers, it didn't bite them, but it must have licked their blood. Once it tastes meat, it knows what's delicious... Hey, second brother, brother Jun, you guys came back pretty quickly."

Yang Jun said with a smile: "We didn't buy much in total. Come on, grab a few and put them in your pockets. Eat them when you have nothing to do."

"Eat inside first, what else can you eat outside?"

They walked into the plastic shed in unison, and after entering the reception room, they greeted Liu Lizhen and others.

Only then did Yang Jun continue the topic, asking: "What about Yang Dong and Wang Lin's nephew? Er Ning and I ran into them at the fork in the road when we were on the street."

The loud speaker said, "Is it exactly the same as what I said?"

"OK."

Xu Ning sat on the sofa and ate melon seeds, saying, "These two didn't go home all night. They must have run into something in the mountains."

"I can't let a big cat pounce on me, can I?"

"You can't be sure. Who can tell for sure?"

Liu Lizhen said: "Don't let the big cat pounce on you, or it will be unlucky for Jun and Cuiping to do things tomorrow."

Yang Jun smiled and said, "It's okay, Auntie. I'm not afraid of this. Besides, it has nothing to do with me."

It can be seen from the previous conversation that the relationship between Yang Jun and Yang Dong's father is not very good. If the relationship is strong enough, Yang Jun will definitely not neglect it. For example, Uncle Yang who patrols the night in Lengchang, Yang Jun is very good to Uncle Yang and provides him with food and drink.

Of course, as I said before, any relationship is mutual, and Yang Jun was taken care of a lot by Grandpa Yang when he was a child.

What about Yang Dong's father? He just kept asking for things without giving anything in return. No matter how many things Yang Jun gave him, it was all in vain. Not only did he not get anything good, but he was also criticized.

Therefore, Yang Jun was only nice to Yang Dong's father for the sake of face, and he didn't have much sincerity. In other words, his heart was deeply hurt.

When Yang Jun talked about Yang Dong's family, everyone understood what was going on. Liu Lizhen nodded and said, "Then call your own family. Are you sure Yang Dong's father can't come tomorrow?"

Yang Jun said with a smile: "You definitely can't come! Even if Yang Dong is not dead, he has other excuses. I know him too well."

Li Fuqiang curled his lips and said, "You are so unkind. You used to send unnecessary gifts to his family."

"How could I understand it at that time? No one taught me, I just learned it from others."

Wu Qiuxia came out from the north kitchen and said, "Hurry up and wash your hands. It's time to eat."

"okay……"

Yang Jun slapped his thigh and said, "Oh my god, I forgot about my son again. I'll go back and get him..."

Xu Ning teased, "Brother Jun, do you know what your behavior is called? It's called if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather! Pay more attention to your son."

"Oh, I was so engrossed in chatting that I forgot. You guys eat first."

As soon as Yang Jun left, Xu Ning put his hands into the basin and rubbed his fingertips.

After they washed their hands, the dishes were served on the table.

Ever since the Xu family steamed several jars of sticky rice dumplings, they have been available for almost every meal. Even if Liu Lizhen cooks them in different ways, everyone is tired of them.

So, this afternoon, Liu Lizhen and others steamed big buns stuffed with sauerkraut, and mixed them with a bowl of cold dishes of cabbage hearts and vermicelli.

There were footsteps outside the courtyard. Yang Jun came in holding Yang Yi and smoking a cigarette. He put Yang Yi down and said, "I was just listening to something outside."

"What's the matter?" The loud speaker stretched his neck and listened attentively.

"It seemed like they were carrying two people out of the old forest, but I didn't hear who they were."

Hearing this, Loudspeaker clapped his hands and said, "That's it! It must be Yang Dong and the other guy!"

Xu Ning asked: "Didn't you hear what happened?"

"I didn't hear it clearly. I was in a hurry to drive back and didn't stop at all."

Li Fuqiang said with a smile: "Tell Brother Huang to eat quickly, and then go out and ask around to see if it's Yang Dong and the other guy."

"Okay! Just leave it to me. I'm a professional at this job."

Zhang Guifang held a large basin of steamed buns and said, "Don't ask around, pay attention..."

"I know. I'll go back to the village first. If it's really Yang Dong, then they must have set up a shed outside the village."
