Siheyuan: abandoning moral qualities and enjoying an immoral life

There were no bowls or chopsticks at home, so everyone just found a few branches to use as a substitute and ate the tortillas directly with their hands.

Large clay pots were pulled out from the corner, one filled with cabbage and the other with stewed eggplant, while the large iron pot continued to make corn tortillas.

There are only about ten tortillas in a pot, which is definitely not enough for so many people.

After eating and drinking, Master Yang took the iron pot and clay basin to the river to wash without being told.

A group of old men were lying in a mess in the old house, snoring one after another.

Wang Hongtao looked at it and shook his head, gave the room to them and planned to go back to sleep in the car.

It’s not that they are afraid of losing the prey. The truck is parked in the yard and no one can steal the prey from under their eyelids.

The key is that the snoring is too loud and he feels uncomfortable sleeping.

An ordinary night.

……

At dawn the next day, shouting was heard outside the yard.

"Is anyone here?"

Wang Hongtao just narrowed his eyes, a hint of sarcasm appeared on his lips, and called Abin, "There are guests at home, go out and meet them!"

Wang Hongbin jumped up and followed Wang Hongtao.

"I heard from my uncle that Taozi is back?"

"Oh, Xiaobin is here too?" In the blink of an eye, the speaker had walked into the yard.

There were four people in total who came over, all wearing blue cloth coats and with bandages around their calves, some holding knives and some holding earthen guns.

Wang Hongtao came out first to meet them and said calmly, "What's the matter, Qin Daniu? Do you want to talk to me about something?"

Wang Hongtao knew all these people. The one who was talking was called Qin Daniu. He lived by a small river at the west end of Qinjiatun. He was the eldest of three brothers.

The other three are his younger brothers Erniu and Sanniu, and his brother-in-law Sun Yousheng.

Several of them were notorious scoundrels in the village. They were called hunters, but they didn't even have their own hunting dogs. They could only dig traps and set snares on weekdays.

It's not them, after the Wang brothers left, the only hunters Qinjiatun could rely on were them.

"Hey, this is Ah Huang? Wow, he's already this strong in just a month? I think the food in the city is better."

Qin Daniu did not answer Wang Hongtao's words but started praising Ah Huang first.

Ah Huang also seemed to know Qin Daniu and kept wagging his tail at him.

"That's it." Wang Hongtao replied indifferently.

Logically speaking, we are from the same village, and this is not the right attitude for him to come to visit after not seeing him for a few months.

Qin Daniu noticed something was wrong and frowned slightly, but then he relaxed his brows and said with a smile:

"Brother, your brother Daniu came here today to ask for a favor... that..."

"Abin, go ask Shazhu to heat up the food so we can fill our stomachs and get ready to go back." Without waiting for Qin Daniu to finish his words, Wang Hongtao turned around and instructed Abin.

"Okay." Wang Hongbin responded and went into the house.

After saying that, Wang Hongtao did not explain to Qin Daniu. He just stared into Qin Daniu's eyes, looking at him expressionlessly.

Qin Daniu has three brothers, and he is a distant cousin of the commune secretary Qin Youtian. How could he have ever suffered such humiliation in his daily life?

But thinking of the purpose of his trip, he could only suppress his temper.

"Brother Taozi, Brother Daniu came to see you today because he wants to ask you for something."

"Well, can you lend me Ah Huang to your brother Daniu? One day, no, half a day will do!"

"You see, we have everything ready for hunting, except for a lead dog that can catch the scent."

Qin Daniu's intention of coming here this time was very clear. He wanted to use Ah Huang, the leader dog, to help them go into the mountains to find prey.

Ah Huang is an excellent leader dog. Many people in Qinjiatun know this, and Qin Daniu naturally knows it too.

And he has borrowed a lot from Ah Huang over the years.

"Qin Daniu, you still have the nerve to go hunting. Do you understand the rules of hunting?" Wang Hongtao did not answer whether to lend him the money or not. He just stared at Qin Daniu's eyes and said coldly.

"Fuck, you've grown up, how dare you talk to Brother Daniu like that? You've only been in the city for a few days and you don't even remember your last name..."

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!

Wang Hongtao had just finished speaking when his brother-in-law Sun Yousheng couldn't help but stand up and shout.

As a result, Wang Hongtao kicked him in the stomach before he could finish his words. Sun Yousheng took a few steps back and sat on the ground.

Erniu and Sanniu, who were standing by, saw their brother-in-law being bullied and clenched their fists and wanted to step forward to help, but were held down by Qin Daniu.

"Brother Hongtao, your brother Daniu has been hunting for more than ten years. Doesn't he know the rules of hunting better than you?"

In the past, he and the Wang brothers had never interfered with each other. Qin Daniu really didn't understand why Wang Hongtao said something that embarrassed him.

"Hunting for more than ten years? Then how come you can't even raise a hunting dog? How dare you say you know hunting when you don't even have a hunting dog?" Wang Hongtao sneered.

Qin Daniu was dumbfounded when Wang Hongtao said this. He suddenly realized that although he had been hunting for many years, his achievements and ancestors were not as good as the boy in front of him.

Qin Daniu didn't say anything, but Erniu and Sanniu beside him couldn't stand it anymore. They pointed at Wang Hongtao and asked, "Wang, have I given you the face? One word, do you want to borrow this dog today?"

As soon as the two brothers finished speaking, Wang Hongbin rushed out of the room holding a 56 semi-automatic rifle, pointing the gun directly at the two men: "Try to say that again! I'll shoot you!"

The two men were frightened and their legs were shaking.

If it was Wang Hongtao who was holding a gun, they would not be so nervous, because they knew that Wang Hongtao was a meticulous person and liked to do bad things secretly.

But Wang Hongbin is different. This guy is straightforward and hot-tempered. He does things rashly without thinking.

Wang Hongtao tilted his head and smiled contemptuously: "What's the matter, Brother Daniu, do you want to fight with our Wang brothers?"

What are brothers?

This is what we call brothers!

Don’t worry about how the two brothers get along in private. If someone comes to ask for help, just do it first.

As for whether it was wrong or not, and whether it should be taken seriously or not, that is something the two brothers can discuss behind closed doors after dealing with the outsiders.

But now that there are outsiders present, there is no doubt about it.

One word—do it!

Chapter 129 Conflict

"Abin, put down your gun first. You will still go in even if you kill them."

"Don't they go into the mountains often? I'll kill them in the mountains one day if I get a chance."

Wang Hongtao pressed down the five or six and a half in Wang Hongbin's hand and said softly.

Although Wang Hongtao spoke softly, to Erniu and Sanniu it sounded more frightening than being pointed at by a gun.

Is this what people say?

What do you mean you have to go in even if you have to kill them, and then find a chance to kill them in the mountains?

After all, they are human lives. Why do you, Boss Wang, say they are no different from prey?

These words came from Wang Hongtao's mouth, and they sounded like something he, Wang Hongtao, could do.

The second and third cows were so frightened that they dared not say a word.

If I get killed by someone, at least I can find someone to take the blame for me, but if I get killed in the mountains, it would be a waste of my life.

At this time they also regretted why they stood up and made harsh remarks.

Just let your big brother borrow the dog, what's the big deal if you come out yourself?

Qin Daniu was also shocked after hearing this, and said with a smile: "Brother Wang, you are joking. We brothers have no intention of fighting with you. We just want to borrow Ah Huang to go hunting in the mountains. We will return it to you before noon!"

Seeing that he had the situation under control, Wang Hongtao chuckled:

"Borrow a dog? I remember that Brother Daniu has come to borrow our Ah Huang many times over the years, right?"

Qin Daniu stared at Wang Hongtao and refused to budge: "Yes, when you Wang brothers were still living in Qinjiatun, I was always very happy to borrow a dog every time I came here."

Qin Daniu's response was full of thorns, meaning that you Wang brothers were quick to act in the beginning, but later on, after entering the city, you turned your backs on us.

Wang Hongbin stiffened his neck and was about to argue, but Wang Hongtao held out his hand to stop him: "Yes, Brother Daniu, let me ask you, when you go hunting in the mountains, don't you share the spoils of the game?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the three Qin brothers opposite and Sun Yousheng who had just crawled up from the ground all changed their previous arrogance, pursed their lips and said nothing.

Qin Daniu's face turned pale and he didn't know how to answer.

"Ah Huang is five years old this year. He has been the head dog for two and a half years since he was three years old. How many times have you borrowed Ah Huang in these two and a half years? Have you ever shared a piece of meat with our family?"

"Is it because Ah Huang is incompetent and didn't help you guys get the goods or what?"

After asking these two questions, the two brothers Erniu and Sanniu and Sun Yousheng all lowered their heads in shame and said nothing.

Wang Hongtao asked again: "If the goods were surrounded, how come Ah Huang didn't get a share of the meat in the past two and a half years? So is it you, Brother Daniu, who don't know the rules or us brothers who don't know the rules?"

The last sentence completely humiliated the Qin family. Even Qin Daniu blushed and lowered his head, too embarrassed to respond.

Hunting in the mountains has its own rules.

According to the rules passed down by the older generation, if one wants to get the goods and ensure safety at the same time, then those who participate in the hunt must be united and work together.

The most influential factor in cohesion during a hunt is the division of meat.

Hunting is not a simple matter of dividing the spoils among a few people. It is divided according to the size of contribution and the amount of effort put in.

The most straightforward point is that in addition to humans, dogs also have to be divided, at least the head dog must be divided.

After all, if there is no leader dog, how can we even find the prey and divide the meat?

After hunting and catching the prey, the first thing to do is to reward the lead dog, followed by the assistant dogs and the following dogs. There is a strict order here.

Because unlike people, dogs are literally risking their lives, so they must be rewarded.

This is what the dog deserves, before the meat is divided.

What the head dog eats does not count as its share.

After all the dogs have eaten, the remaining food can be divided among the hunting team.

The dog must be counted as a share here. Whoever the dog belongs to will get a share, regardless of whether the owner is present or not.

If the dog owner goes there, it will be two shares.

In addition to the lead dog, whoever deals a fatal blow to the prey during hunting can also be counted as an extra share. For example, the person who kills a wild boar with one shot can also get an extra share.

This share is equivalent to the head dog's share and is also considered extra.

Qin Daniu's family had a gun but no dog, so they usually relied on traps to catch pheasants and rabbits. It was only after Ah Huang grew up that he went into the mountains to hunt wild boars.

But in these two and a half years, he really didn't give even a piece of meat to the Wang family.

It can be said that every time hunting with hunting dogs is a fight for life. In the past two years, Ah Huang has been injured many times, but each time it was the Wang brothers who took him to see barefoot doctors for bandaging and injections. Qin Daniu never cared about him once.

Aren’t the Wang brothers angry?

Naturally, I am angry.

But if the Wang brothers want to continue living in Qinjiatun, they cannot offend them. Qin Daniu's cousins ​​have more than 20 to 30 male adults, plus they are relatives of Qin Youtian. The Wang brothers cannot refuse at all.

But that was in the past. Today, Wang Hongtao doesn't care about these things.

Who cares if you are Secretary Qin or not! What can you do to me?

After such a long delay, the security guards in the room heard the quarrel outside and came out one after another.

"What's going on? Want to cause trouble?"

"Brother Wang, tell me, are they here to cause trouble?"

Squad leader Jiang stepped forward and pushed Qin Daniu away, shouting at the same time.

It is always their security department that causes trouble for others, and they have never been troubled by others.

Seeing their squad leader taking action, the other soldiers were not idle either. They all surrounded them and stared at the Qin brothers in the middle, ready to attack them at the slightest disagreement.

Even Sha Zhu was holding a spatula and looking at them eagerly, as if he would start fighting if there was any disagreement.
