60s: I have a store

Chapter 243: The Silly Roe Deer Walks into a Trap

The old Party Secretary asked, "Engineer Xu, have you had breakfast?"

"I've already eaten on the way here. I wonder when Comrade Yimin usually comes." Xu Xiangbei asked.

The old branch secretary smiled and said, "We can't really say when Yimin will come."

Zhou Yimin also has a job, so it is impossible for him to come back to the village every day, so they cannot ask Zhou Yimin when to come back.

After hearing this, Xu Xiangbei didn't say much.

He changed the subject and asked, "Are there any problems with the construction?"

He was afraid that the villagers in Zhoujiazhuang did not follow his instructions when constructing the house. Otherwise, by the time he discovered the problems, it would be too late. He might have to tear everything down and start over again, which would be bad.

The team leader replied: "We will strictly follow your request, Engineer Xu. You can go and take a look. If there is anything wrong, you can point it out so that we can correct it."

Yimin reminded them many times that professional matters must be left to professionals, and they should listen to professionals and not do things on their own.

Xu Xiangbei nodded and said, "Then let's go and take a look!"

The old branch secretary and three others headed towards the back mountain. At this moment, a gunshot was suddenly heard.

In this quiet environment, all three of them were startled.

The team leader immediately said, "Old Party Secretary, take Engineer Xu back to the village first. I'll go take a look."

Because we don't know whether it is an attack by wild animals or enemy spies, we still have to protect Engineer Xu's safety just in case. After all, such an important talent cannot have any problems.

The old branch secretary didn't say much and just nodded in agreement.

This is especially true for Xu Xiangbei, who just needs to follow the captain's arrangements.

The team leader trotted over, while the old branch secretary took Xu Xiangbei back to the village.

In less than ten minutes, the team leader arrived at the construction site on the back mountain and found that the villagers seemed very happy.

This made the captain a little confused, and he immediately asked: "Zhou Xuan'an, tell me, what happened?"

After hearing what the captain said, Zhou Xuan explained the whole story: "Just now when we were working on the construction, we heard some noises that scared us all. Then I took Zhou Daming and Zhou Xuming with us and went to check with guns."

There was no way. Zhou Xuan'an and two other men were the only ones with guns. If there were any problems, they would be the first to take charge.

Zhou Xuan'an and the other two carefully headed towards the place where the noise came from, holding their guns. At this moment, a yellow animal suddenly rushed out, scaring everyone present.

At first I thought it was a wild boar, but it turned out to be a roe deer.

The roe deer is an animal of the Cervidae family and the genus Capreolus. It has a slender neck, big eyes and big ears.

Roe deer are only territorial during the breeding season.

During this period, males enter the rutting period, which is characterized by increased aggression and territoriality. Males mark their territory by leaving visual marks on objects such as trees using their antlers.

They also leave olfactory clues through secretions from glands on their heads, or a mixture of urine and oils from tarsal glands on their hind legs.

The main reason is that this thing is extremely curious. Sometimes when it sees people, it is not only not afraid, but will come over to watch the fun. To be honest, it is a miracle that this thing has not become extinct.

Zhou Xuan saw the stupid roe deer rushing towards the villagers. In order to ensure the villagers' safety, he decisively used the Type 53 cavalry rifle on his back, held the gun with both hands, aimed, and immediately fired.

After three bangs, the three stupid roe deer fell to the ground, motionless, but with a lot of blood flowing from their heads.

The Type 53 rifle appeared in China very early, dating back to the Boxer Rebellion in 1900. Later, the war between the island country and the big brother enabled the country to obtain a lot of water-fired rifles. Later, the big brother also provided water-fired rifles to the country and other countries.

Therefore, the Type 53 cavalry rifle is the most common firearm in the country, and militia groups are also equipped with this type of firearm.

Zhou Daming exclaimed: "Uncle An, your shooting skills are still so amazing!"

Everyone in Zhoujiazhuang knew that Zhou Xuan'an's marksmanship was among the best, but when he was in the army, his level was only average, and he was still a long way from those top sharpshooters.

The only one who can suppress him is the captain.

The captain was also a retired soldier. To be assigned to a position like the captain, he was certainly not an ordinary soldier when he was in the army.

After hearing Zhou Xuan'an's answer, the captain finally breathed a sigh of relief. If they had encountered wild animals instead of enemy spies, the few discarded Type 53 cavalry rifles in the village would not be able to defeat the well-equipped enemy spies.

"Wait a moment, Zhou Xuming, Zhou Daming and I will take these three stupid roe deer back to the village. You continue to work and be sure to pay attention to safety. Zhou Xuan, you continue to stay here and keep watch."

In order to ensure the safety of the villagers, one person still has to be left here to prevent any wild creatures from attacking them again. With Zhou Xuan'an around, he feels at ease.

After seeing this scene, the villagers of Shuangtian Village were still very envious. You know, this is meat, but they don’t know whether they can eat it in the canteen.

Silly roe deer! This kind of animal is almost always there, it's a gift to you.

The captain said: "Comrades, the danger has been eliminated now, let's continue working!"

He also has to go back to the village to report to the old party secretary, and Engineer Xu will also come here to see if there are any mistakes in the construction.

Soon, the team leader and his two companions left with the three silly roe deer and headed straight to the old branch secretary's home.

When the old branch secretary saw the team leader, he hurriedly asked, "What happened in the back mountain just now?"

The construction of this reservoir is the top priority in the village now. If any problems arise, it will be troublesome and all the preliminary preparation work will be in vain.

"Secretary, don't worry. It's nothing. We just found three stupid roe deer. They were shot dead by Xuan'an and have been brought back." The captain said with a smile.

After learning about the situation, the old branch secretary finally put down the heavy stone in his heart. He had never encountered stupid roe deer when he organized hunting in the mountains before, and he never thought that building a reservoir would lead to a trap.

"Take these three silly roe deer to the canteen and use them for lunch. Make an extra meat dish and be sure to leave one uncooked," the old branch secretary ordered.

After all, everyone worked hard to build the reservoir. Since the fish was caught at the site where the reservoir was built, they would use it to reward the villagers and leave the remaining one to Zhou Yimin and Xu Xiangbei.

The captain said, "Okay, I'll go to the cafeteria now."

Then, he took Zhou Daming and others to the cafeteria.

The old branch secretary led Xu Xiangbei to the back mountain.
