Return to 1983 Hunting Xing'an Mountains

Chapter 693 Two ruthless men come to hunt tigers for humanitarian action
After Zhou left, Xu Ning withdrew his gaze and returned to the courtyard.

A case that was obviously not murder, but at most a fight followed by an accident, was it necessary for Zhou Dayong to come to Old Xu's house for routine questioning? There was no need at all.

Besides, Bian Baoguo and his companions had already arrived before, so Zhou Dayong must have had something to do when he arrived later. In addition, Zhou Dayong repeatedly emphasized before leaving that there was no need to see him off. With Xu Ning's good ears, how could he not hear that?

Xu Ning weighed the pros and cons and gave an ambiguous answer without giving a definite answer, because asking Hu Zhibin to do things would require his favor, so he had to think of a way to make this matter Zhou Dayong's own. The best way was to bring the two of them together to sit in a room and talk in detail. The specific content of the conversation had nothing to do with Xu Ning, and whether it could be done or not had nothing to do with him.

If it succeeds, Zhou Dayong will definitely be grateful to him. If it fails, he can't be blamed. If he has some acquaintances on the street, wouldn't it be convenient to do anything in the future?

When he walked into the reception room, Liu Lizhen and others came out of the house and sat on the sofa and stools to continue chatting. He did not tell them the purpose of Zhou Dayong's visit, but only said: "Yang Dong seems to have hit Zhang Guangjun with an axe on his collarbone."

"Oh my god, this Yang Dongting is so brave, no wonder Wang Linhai was arrested."

"That's not a big deal. I was wondering why the police came here. I didn't know there was such a thing."

"..."

After chatting for a while in the house, Da Laba couldn't stand the loneliness anymore, so he rode his donkey back to Taipingtun. He went back to help for Lao Hu's sake. Even if he didn't work and stayed at the scene for a while, Lao Hu would know he was coming.

Not long after he left, Xu Laonian and Wang Erli hurried in.

"I heard that Yang Dong was killed by a big cat? There was another guy from Nantun, right?"

Li Fuqiang nodded: "Yes, uncle, did you hear about it at the forest farm?"

"How can I not hear about it? The forest farm is holding a meeting right now to discuss how to solve the problem... Hey, old man..."

Xu Ning was frightened and trembled. He hurriedly said, "Dad, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly. Don't shout like that. I'm scared."

Xu Laonian winked and said, "Look at you, calling me that shows that we are close. Well, Secretary Zhang wants you to go to the forest farm..."

Xu Ning frowned and asked, "Are you asking me to fight a tiger?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Lizhen raised her hand and slapped Xu Laonian in the face, gritting her teeth and saying, "You dare to let me take the risk, I will make you die on your knees!"

"Oh, no, no...Zhen, listen to me! I just talked to our third brother on the phone. He decided this matter. The city can send three people, all of whom are good at hunting animals. If they can kill this tiger, the city will reward 1000 yuan, and the forest farm will give you 200 yuan!"

Xu Ning pouted and said, "Why are you so stingy? The tiger penis alone is worth 2000 yuan, and you only give 1200?"

"The body parts of the big cat are counted separately, so we definitely can't just give out bonuses."

Wang Erli held a cigarette in his mouth and said, "Erning, this is what's going on. Your third uncle will be here tonight. We've already gone to the county to go through the formalities. When the time comes, you, Qiangzi, Huzi, Leizi, your uncle, your brother, and the two people from the city will all go into the mountains to hunt tigers. All of you will be equipped with 56 rifles, and each person will be given 50 rounds of ammunition. 400 rounds of ammunition can turn a big cat into a sieve!"

Xu Laonian took over the conversation and said, "Well, there's really no danger. Zhen, if it wasn't for our third brother's order, would I let him go hunting tigers? Who do you think I am?"

Liu Lizhen glared at him and asked, "What kind of good person are you?"

Xu Ning asked, "Didn't they say that the forest farm was holding a meeting to discuss how to deal with the big cat? How come the city has already approved it and sent it to the county?"

Xu Laonian said, "That's because I didn't explain it clearly. The forest farm held a meeting to discuss how to deal with Yang Dong and Zhang Guangjun. Should they give them compensation or some comfort items? Because neither of them is an employee of the forest farm, and it will take some time to study it."

Han Fengjiao asked: "Brother, there are so many capable people in the city, why don't you ask the city to send more people to hunt tigers?"

"Aren't the five of them paid by the city? This is their job and they can't shirk it. Besides, if they can kill Big Cat, their salaries will go up one level!"

After hearing this, Han Fengjiao and Wu Qiuxia were both moved. What would it be like to get a higher salary? A real iron rice bowl!

Liu Lizhen curled her lips and said, "Is it worth taking risks just for a little salary?"

Xu Ning said with a smile: "Mom, this is definitely worth it. Since my third uncle has already agreed, it must be beneficial. If it wasn't beneficial, would my third uncle let me do this?"

Xu Laonian nodded: "There is nothing wrong with what I said. My old man is right."

Wang Erli asked: "What happened to Yang Dong and Zhang Guangjun? Why did I see a police car parked in front of Brother Chang's house when I came back?"

Liu Lizhen said: "Yang Dong broke Zhang Guangjun's collarbone. The axe he used was from Brother Chang's family."

"What an unexpected disaster! Look! This year is really unlucky..."

Liu Lizhen glanced at Xu Laonian and said, "What does it have to do with you? This disaster or that disaster..."

"I just want to say a few words, why can't I continue?"

Liu Lizhen waved her hand and said, "I won't talk to you anymore. Third brother is coming over tonight and I have to prepare some food."

Then, the ladies moved to the north kitchen and thought hard about what dishes to prepare.

The old men were chatting in the reception room. Not long after, Chang Danian, Yu Kaihe, Lao Wei, Lao Jiang and others came to Lao Xu's house. They all came for the matter of Yang Dong and Zhang Guangjun. One was to find out what was going on, and the other was to ask how to deal with the big cat.

Qing'an Village is right next to a mountain. If they don't kill the big cat, they will be scared when they go into the mountain to collect firewood. After learning the exact news, everyone felt relieved.

They did not stay at Old Xu's house for dinner because Yang Yusheng and Xu Long had returned. The Jeep 212 was parked at the gate of the yard, and two middle-aged strong men got out of the car with them.

Yang Yusheng introduced: "Erning, this is your uncle Li and uncle Zheng. In the past, in the military competitions, they always took the top three in each event!"

"Hey, Uncle Li, Uncle Zheng, please sit down! This is your home now, don't be polite..."

Lao Li and Lao Zheng looked at Yang Yusheng and smiled. Lao Zheng said, "Director Yang said in the car that you are good at speaking, and he was right."

"Haha, my third uncle likes to praise me."

Yang Yusheng said with a smile: "Okay, let's all sit down and talk. Erning, tell us in detail about the big cat."

"okay."

Then, before the meal began, everyone went over the whole thing from beginning to end.

During this period, Xu Ning learned that Old Zheng and Old Li were actually the city's armed police. He didn't know their specific positions, but they were definitely tough guys, otherwise Yang Yusheng wouldn't have praised them so much.

"After dinner, let's go to the forest farm and meet with the person in charge of the forest farm."

"to make!"

When Yang Yusheng saw Xu Laonian take out the bottle of wine, he said, "Don't drink tonight. Let's drink after we finish our work."

"It's okay to have a drink, I won't do anything tonight..."

Lao Li and Lao Zheng waved their hands: "Brother, you really can't drink, we have rules." "Ah, then eat more vegetables."

Xu Long reminded him, "Uncle San, shouldn't we ask Er Ning to go to Lengchang to pick up my uncle and Lei Zi?"

Xu Ning said: "I asked Brother Jun to pick them up. They will be coming down the mountain soon."

Yang Yusheng nodded and said, "Erning is really good at doing things in advance. Did you leave food for them?"

"Yes, they are all sitting in the pot."

This is why Yang Yusheng is willing to come to Old Xu's house, because it saves worry and effort! He doesn't have to worry about anything at all, Old Xu's family has arranged everything, although it is not perfect, but it is also impeccable.

Before everyone put down their chopsticks, Yang Jun brought Liu Daming and Guan Lei back.

They greeted each other, and Liu Lizhen said, "Why don't you eat at the small table? I've left some food for you."

"Oh, don't bother, Auntie, we can just have a bite."

Xu Laonian said, "The dishes are cold, but the ones in the pot are hot. Go wash your hands first."

Yang Yusheng said, "Don't worry, it's only a little after 5 o'clock now. We can't go to the forest farm until 6 o'clock."

"Okay." Liu Daming responded.

At this time, Xu Long and Yang Jun looked at each other and said, "Brother Jun, we have bought all the vegetables and meat and put them all in the cellar."

"How much did it cost in total?"

Xu Long took out a piece of paper from his inner pocket and said, "This is the unit price. You can calculate it yourself."

Yang Jun took the note and handed it to Meng Ziyan, "Let your sister-in-law help you calculate it. If you want me to calculate it, I have to use my fingers."

Everyone in the room laughed when they heard this.

Yang Yusheng smiled and said, "It seems that I came back just in time. I can even have a wedding banquet."

"Of course! Er Ning calls you Third Uncle, so I'll call you Third Uncle too... Well, Third Uncle, I'm going to have a wedding tomorrow afternoon, you all should come over to drink, but don't give any gifts!"

Xu Ning slapped his thigh and said, "Oh my god, it's not a big deal. Tomorrow is my brother Jun's big day. Third uncle, are we really going into the mountains tomorrow?"

Yang Yusheng said with a smile: "You guys go around the mountain first, follow the trail and see where the big cat went, and come back at noon."

"Okay! It won't interfere with Uncle Li and Uncle Zheng's business, right?"

Lao Li waved his hand: "Don't delay, we are on official business, and the target is to kill the big cat!"

"Okay, then why didn't you drink something tonight?"

"We're going to the forest farm later. It's not good if others smell the alcohol on us. We have to be careful about the impact."

After everyone put down their chopsticks one after another and saw that the time had reached 5:40, they all stood up and walked towards the door.

We drove to the forest farm in two cars. Why did we agree to meet at 6 o'clock? The reason is that we need to leave some free time for the forest farm leaders. People are made of iron and rice is made of steel. If you don't eat, you will be hungry.

Zheng Yunlong, Guo Xingmin and five forest farm leaders waited in the reception room for a long time. They had a few bites in the cafeteria in the evening, and no one dared to eat more. After all, such a big thing happened in the forest farm, and it was impossible to say that it had nothing to do with them.

But the forest farm cannot be blamed entirely for this. Anyone who has heard that big cats have appeared in Qing'an area is jointly liable.

The two cars stopped in the forest farm. The two sides met and shook hands. After introducing themselves to each other, they came to the meeting room. Xiao Liu brewed a cup of tea for everyone, and there were three packs of cigarettes and matches on the table.

Then, Xu Ning, who knew the inside story, began to explain and formulate a tiger hunting plan.

He concluded with three points. The first was to go to the scene to kill the enemy, but the traces at the scene had been destroyed by Wang Linhai and others, so it would be difficult to kill the enemy. The second was to use a smelly animal to lure the tiger into the trap...

"The third method is a bit ridiculous, which is to take my dog ​​into the mountains, but I don't want to do that. I keep dogs to hunt black cats. Big cats are fierce beasts in the mountains. Not to mention 10 dogs, even 20 dogs can't beat it. Besides, the snow in the mountains is too thick now, and the dogs can't run at all. At most, they can smell the smell."

Yang Yusheng waved his hand and said, "Forget about the third method. I still prefer to kill it. You are good at it. Add to that Lao Li and Lao Zheng's shooting skills. As long as we can touch it, we will definitely be able to shoot it down!"

"Then we should track it down first. This big cat has had enough to eat and drink, so it probably won't come out again in the short term. We should prepare for a long-term battle!"

Old Li nodded and said, "I agree."

After studying the matter, Guo Xingmin reported: "Regarding Yang Dong and Zhang Guangjun who were killed by the big cat, our forest farm has decided to give them 50 yuan in consolation money."

Yang Yusheng frowned: "I have heard about what happened between them, but isn't it a bit unreasonable that the forest farm only gave 50 yuan?"

Zheng Yunlong said, "Director Yang, this is what happened. Neither of them is an employee of the forest farm. Yang Dong usually plays with money for fun, and Zhang Guangjun is just messing around in Nantun. It stands to reason that the two of them were killed by a big cat, and it has nothing to do with the forest farm or other people."

Yang Yusheng smiled when he heard this. "Since it's okay, why should the forest farm give condolence money? Isn't this just making others grumble that the forest farm is guilty?"

Guo Xingmin and Zheng Yunlong looked at each other and nodded silently.

"There's nothing wrong with what Director Yang said, but isn't this out of humanitarianism?"

Yang Yusheng said, "I came here because I'm afraid you guys will do something stupid. Someone will come from the county tomorrow to deal with this matter. You guys should stop getting involved."

"Ah...I see."

It’s not that Yang Yusheng is cruel, but he really can’t take things on himself. Once he takes things on himself, it will be difficult to get rid of them!
The group discussed until after 9 o'clock before dispersing. After Xu Ning and others returned home, they smelled the aroma of meat as soon as they entered the door. They knew without thinking that there was meat roasting in the pot.

The kangs in the three rooms were all scalding hot. Xu Ning couldn't stand it anymore, so he dragged Meng Ziyan to sleep in the second east room of Old Wang's house, and asked Xu Long and Wang Shujuan to sleep in the west room of his house, while Yang Yusheng, Old Zheng, and Old Li slept in the second east room of their house...

The next day, early in the morning.

Xu Ning, Lao Zheng, Lao Li, Guan Lei, Li Fuqiang, Wang Hu, Xu Long and Liu Daming hurriedly finished their breakfast, then they tied their leggings, packed their cloth bags, carried their Type 56 semis and drove towards Shuangfengling.

After entering the mountains, Lao Li and Lao Zheng both accepted Xu Ning's opinions and followed him without asking the reasons.

They did have experience in hunting livestock and knew survival skills in the mountains, but they were unfamiliar with the area and their tracking skills were not as mature as Xu Ning's.

"Erning, the three mountains in front connected together are Shuangfengling? From what I see, it should be called Bijia Mountain."

Xu Ning said with a smile: "Uncle Zheng has experience. It used to be called Bijia Mountain, but later a gap was blasted open at the back of the mountain, so it was renamed Shuangfengling."
