Chapter 108 Aftermath
“Second Grandpa!”
“Grandpa!”
Old Wang took a look and saw that one of the two brothers was carrying his own Hanyang made, and the other Carrying the little half-laden roe deer and a whole pair into the water, the heart that had been hanging in my heart finally fell to the ground.
"You two bastards, you gave me wine yesterday to get me drunk, just to steal the gun and go up the mountain?" Old Wangtou glanced at the two grandsons, and his face changed instantly.
Xiaonian's mouth was sweet, he took a few steps and showed the things in his hand to Lao Wangtou.
"Hey! Second Grandpa, we didn't go there by ourselves, we went with others! Didn't we just grab the gun and send it back after using it up! You see, this is the prey we were assigned, and we will give it back to you "Bring a front leg!"
"Follow me into the house and I will interrogate you two. You are getting more and more courageous, and you dare to steal the gun!"
Old Wangtou's tone Not soft, but I have forgiven most of my grandson in my heart.
After all, following others up the mountain is not a big deal at this age. It is a good thing to have a knowledgeable hunter leading the way and go up the mountain to experience.
The two obediently followed their grandfather into the house. After putting down their things, they were led to the position next to the fire wall on the kang. There was a fire here in the morning and the fire wall was still warm.
"Tell me, who did you enter the mountain with?"
"There is Mr. Qiao from Jian'an and Zhu Erhai from our village. We brothers followed them!" Xiaonian said casually He told the second grandfather the answer he had already thought of.
"Qiao Laosan?" Upon hearing this name, Lao Wangtou's brows relaxed a little.
Jian'an Village is slightly farther away from Xing'an Village. The straight-line distance between the two villages is more than ten kilometers. They are located downstream of Luohe Town. This Mr. Qiao is quite famous in the surrounding area of 10 kilometers.
Mr. Qiao's real name is Qiao Muzhou, and his two sons are both very promising. After his demobilization, the eldest son became a senior leader in the mine, and the second son also became a minor official in the mine protection team.
Master Qiao doesn't like to stay in the city, but he likes this three-acre land in his hometown. He loves to play, make friends, raise hounds, and go hunting in the mountains. When winter comes, there are almost always people in his house.
What is different from other hunters is that Mr. Qiao regards hunting in the mountains as a kind of leisure and entertainment. Every time he goes out to hunt, he always forms a powerful gang.
There is definitely no danger in following him hunting. After all, these days, there are not many hunters who go into the mountains with six or seven hounds. In addition, there are many friends who go into the mountains. Even if there are those big mountain animals, as long as It’s not that I’m in a hurry, I still have to avoid people most of the time.
"Well! A friend found a group of big wild boars on the mountain. Mr. Qiao heard about it and went up the mountain with his dog and a few of us. However, the wild boar was not found. On the way back, he met a roe deer and was killed by us. Beaten to death!
The Third Master was so righteous that he divided the roe deer meat among the younger generations of us, and he didn’t keep any of it! "Xiao Nian said it with confidence, and it really sounded like that.
" Qiao Laosan is a kind and righteous man! This is recognized within a radius of dozens of miles! If you go up the mountain with him, you are worthy! "Lao Wangtou nodded and said after hearing this.
"Second Grandpa, you won't tell my dad and Qiangqiang's dad because Junqiang and I took guns!
We brought this roe deer back and brought you a portion. The intestines were drained from the belly. Junqiang and I rinsed them with clean water and just put them into the pot directly.
You don’t know, on this day, the water in the tank is so cold that it pricks your hands! ”
Seeing that the old man's expression had softened a lot, Xiaonian immediately climbed up the pole while showing weakness and pity.
"How many bullets were fired?" Lao Wangtou did not express his position immediately, but continued to ask.
"It seems to be three rounds, right? There seems to be something wrong with this gun. When the third round was loaded, it jammed and did not fire!" Xiaonian continued.
“This Hanyang-made machine does have a problem with jamming. If you want to reduce the chance of jamming, it’s best to lightly wipe the outer wall of the bullet with paraffin when loading! Bring the gun over and let me take a look!”
Lao Wangtou reached out to take his old gun, and then skillfully pulled out the two bullets inside.
"A gun that has been used up should be maintained as soon as possible. The rifling in the barrel is very worn, and the accuracy will be poor beyond a few dozen meters. You must be aware of it when using it! And here..."
Old Wang Tou taught the two grandsons how to wax the outer wall of the bullet, how to disassemble the gun structure, and various small precautions.
Looking at the work in Lao Wangtou's hands, you can see that when he was young, he could definitely play well with this gun in his hands, and his proficiency was directly maxed out.
Looking at grandpa's focused look, Xiaonian and Junqiang looked at each other quietly. The old man didn't get angry, which meant that the two brothers had basically passed the test of stealing a gun.
In front of his two grandsons, Lao Wangtou demonstrated the maintenance of firearms on the spot, and then said slowly: "At my age, I can't go up the mountain. This gun is like a gun in my hand.
If there is a reliable hunting team going up the mountain later, and you are willing to go, if you want to use a gun, come and get it from me! Don't steal it next time!
But you have to know that going into the mountains is very dangerous and is not a child's play! You two brothers are not young anymore. You must have rules and regulations when doing things, and you can't mess around! "
" Got it, Second Grandpa! Junqiang and I will definitely listen to you! "
"Don't go back tonight. Come to my place for dinner. I'll tell you a story about how I went hunting in the mountains when I was young. Let's stew the roe deer and you have a drink with me! ”
“Okay! ”
A crisis that might have turned into a family life-and-death crisis, under Wang Xiaonian's operation in Wolong, Xing'an Village, successfully solved the hidden danger, and Junqiang's worried heart was completely relaxed.
That night, Lao Wangtou packed up the roe deer meat sent by his two grandsons, added potatoes, radish, pepper, etc. and stewed it in a small pot. The three of them drank and chatted until after nine o'clock, then they ate. Leave with enough to drink.
On the other side, Zhu Erhai, who carried half of the roe deer home, was feeling proud today. His father, Zhu Jianshe, was a little confused when he saw the whole roe deer’s hind legs. His son was going up the mountain and encountered a trap that someone had set in the mountain. Already?
"Er Boy, where did you get this roe deer? Did you pick up the condoms on the mountain?"
"Dad! Look at what you said, your son is so bad ( No, I mean bad) Ah!”
"There is nothing wrong with carrying the roe deer back when you encounter a trap on the mountain, but you can't eat it alone. At least part of it must be left for the person who set the trap. This means that the wealth of the mountain cannot be enjoyed exclusively.
Otherwise, let others If you know it, you will say that we are not particular about it!"
Zhu Jianshe is quite serious about this matter, which is completely different from his usual profit-seeking attitude.
"I took people up the mountain to shoot this roe deer with a gun! He didn't steal someone else's condom!!" Zhu Erhai emphasized again with confidence. "Gun? Where did you get the gun from, you kid! I believe you said you borrowed it. There is no place to borrow this gun!"
"It was made in Hanyang by Grandpa Junqiang! This roe deer was hunted by me, Junqiang and Xiaonian in the mountains! If you don't believe me, go to Xiaonian's house tomorrow and ask!" Zhu Erhai said with a nose and eyes.
"You three brothers, have you gone into the mountains?"
"It's not a deep mountain, just over there at Sandaogangzi. I was thinking of hunting wild boars, but I didn't come across them. So I went to 14 I met a roe deer on the road to the forest farm and killed him!"
Zhu Erhai never mentioned the fact that he was almost kicked by a cannon egg, and only mentioned his glorious moment.
"You bastard, you are so brave that you dare to lead people into the mountains! I will beat you to death!" Zhu Jianshe was not happy after hearing this, but directly picked up the armed belt behind the door.
Uncharacteristically, Zhu Erhai did not hide from his father's belt, but raised his hand to catch it and threw it on the kang.
"You can whip me for whatever reason. You can whip me with an armed belt at every turn. How old am I? With the situation at home, if I don’t work hard, when will I be able to marry a wife?
He Yue Feng was able to take people up the mountain to hunt, and he brought back two wild boars for a hundred and ten yuan in cash! Why can't I, Zhu Erhai?
I didn't encounter wild boars this time, but I did next time. I can also come back from hunting wild boars!
When I was training with the militia, I got 43 rounds, and the coach said I have shooting talent!”
Zhu Jianshe was slightly startled when he heard his son's tone of complaint.
Yes, my son is 21, and he is no longer a child. At his age, Zhu Jianshe was already married and had a separate family.
“It’s so complicated in the deep mountains, with both blind bears and tigers and leopards. It’s not easy for your mother and I to pull your brothers together. What if you meet a guy who preys on you? "Although Zhu Jianshe accepted his son's statement in his heart, he still kept a straight face and did not let go.
“The wild boar only has three axes. It runs and hits each other, arching its mouth, causing it to bite anxiously. I will definitely not shoot at close range with a gun. Hanyang Zao can at least hit it from a distance of dozens of meters. Two or three bullets! How dangerous can it be? Even if it doesn’t hit the vital point, I can still circle the tree stump and climb the tree. How dangerous can it be?
Besides, the blind bear must have been there this season. I went into a tree hole and squatted in a barn, but there was no place to look for it. If I could find it, I wouldn't even need to do it myself. If I sell it, it would be considered a share of the income.
As for the big paws and the native leopards, it is impossible to stay in the area around the forest farm, otherwise the forest ranger of the forest farm would have been shot dead!
Yes, I admit that there are dangers in the mountains, but I am not going into the mountains alone. There are several people together, carrying knives and guns. They are all young men. What are you afraid of? ”
Although Zhu Erhai was full of loopholes in actual combat, but on paper with his father Zhu Jianshe, it really sounded like that. After some analysis, there was nothing to fix for Zhu Jianshe. That's it.
Yes, different beasts have their own habits. If my son goes up the mountain with a gun, as long as he knows a little common sense and is careful, it will not be so easy to cause problems.
"That's what you say, but you haven't followed a real hunter into the mountains. Do you know what the use of some fur is? "Zhu Jianshe's tone was obviously much softer.
"Can you rely on me? Don't you know what the reputation of our Zhu family is in the village? How old am I? When I was ten years old, the villagers named me Lai Gouzi. Isn't this just taking advantage of the family's reputation? ?”
This sentence is extremely destructive. It turned off the flames of Zhu Jianshe’s words. The Zhu family has a bad reputation in the village. Although his son also plays a role, the big head is really not his fault. Zhu Jianshe You know your own virtues.
"Second child, you are so brave now that you dare to teach me a lesson, right?"
Zhu Jianshe couldn't answer the conversation directly, so he could only reveal his identity as me and wanted to Maintain your dignity as a father.
“I’m not lecturing you, and I’m not qualified to lecture you, but I feel that just hanging on like this will never solve my personal problems!
This society is very realistic. No matter what reputation or word of mouth, it is not as beneficial as money. When I go hunting in the mountains and make a lot of money, I will not believe that I will not be able to find a wife!
Don’t be angry. I am not saying this to argue with you, but to tell you that your son has grown up and is sensible. I want to go up the mountain to prove myself, and I want to change the poverty in my family. My current situation, I don’t ask you and my mother to help me much, as long as you don’t hold me back!
Okay, I’m going back to the house to catch up on my sleep!
You have the final say on this roe deer meat. If you are willing to eat it, we can keep it for ourselves. If you want to sell it, just sell it. I have no objection! ”
After saying these ambitious words, Zhu Erhai turned around and got into his west room. There is also a kang in the room, but because it is not burned, the room is not warm now.
However, Zhu Erhai did not go out to burn the kang again. Instead, he took off his cotton clothes and trousers and covered them with the quilt. He just wrapped himself in the quilt. After a while, he felt sleepy and fell asleep quickly.
In the outer room, Zhu Jianshe stared at the thick roe deer thighs and couldn't help it. He found some radishes and potatoes from the warehouse cellar and prepared them. Then he broke the bones and meat, and stewed a lot of them. A big pot.
Zhu Erhai gained initial approval from his family after having a head-on confrontation with his father about going hunting in the mountains.
And this is only prosperity on the surface. Just like the old training of the eagle, the knowledge obtained from paper talks and hearsay cannot stand the test of any actual combat. When the strength does not match the danger faced, it is unlucky. start.
……
On the other side, after Yue Feng led the team up the mountain and fucked the lone male cannon's eggs back, the next two days were quite quiet. During the day, he had nothing to do with his big eagle and went out to catch rabbits, pheasants and other game. When the team members came back in the afternoon, they took everyone's harvest to the No. 2 canteen of the coal mine. They lived a leisurely and enjoyable life.
That evening, just after dark, Yue Feng’s family of four were having dinner at home, when several low-pitched knocks came from the door of the courtyard.
"Brother Yue Feng is at home?"
Yue Feng was slightly startled when he heard someone calling his name. He quickly got off the bed, put on his shoes and walked out of the north room.
"Who is it? At home, wait until I open the door for you!"
Soon Yue Feng walked to the entrance of the courtyard and opened the door, and found outside the two brothers Wang Xiaonian and Wang Junqiang, who had no contact with Yue Feng on weekdays.
"It's Xiaonian and Junqiang. Do you have a problem with me?" Yue Feng asked casually.
"Something happened!"
"Then let's go into the room and talk!"
Yue Feng let the two brothers into the north room and then closed the door.
