Chapter 373 Wang Xiaonian’s Plan
Wang Xiaonian’s home.

Zhu Erhai carried two pounds of fried peanuts and strolled to the door of Wang Xiaonian’s house.

When it comes to shooting and hunting in the mountains, Zhu Erhai is quite conceited and thinks he has good skills, but when it comes to using his brain, he still has a certain self-knowledge. Wang Xiaonian considers things more thoroughly than him, and when it comes to hunting the tiger, only Wang Xiaonian has to be counted.

“Is Xiaonian at home?” Zhu Erhai stood at the door of Wang Xiaonian’s house and shouted a few words at the top of his voice.

“Here, here, it’s the second child, come in quickly!!”

Wang Xiaonian’s mother was at home, and the first month of the year was a time for gathering and playing, with more activities than usual. Although Wang Xiaonian’s mother knew that Zhu Erhai had a bad reputation, she was still polite.

Soon, Zhu Erhai came into the house carrying fried peanuts, and Wang Xiaonian came out to greet him with a smile.

“Brother Erhai! Now that you’re here, why are you still bringing things?”

“I just brought some fried peanuts from my family for Chinese New Year! Um, are you busy? If you’re not busy, I’d like to discuss something with you!”

Wang Xiaonian nodded calmly: “No hurry, let’s talk in my room! My uncle and the others are playing cards in the east room!!”

“go!”

Soon, Zhu Erhai and Wang Xiaonian went into the kang in the west room. There was probably no fire on the kang here, so the room was a little deserted.

“Are the dogs at home almost recovered from their injuries?” Wang Xiaonian asked casually.

“Well, it’s basically healed! After the New Year, I just bought a No. 16 barreled rifle! It’s Old Wang’s gun from Hexi. The gun is newly modified. I didn’t put much effort into it, and it’s % new!” Zhu Erhai showed off as if he was taking credit.

“What a character! You’ll have a strong weapon in your hand when you go up the mountain in the future! Are you coming back to me to go hunting in the mountain?” Wang Xiaonian asked while praising.

“It’s about going up the mountain to hunt! I heard from my uncle that a tiger broke into the village of Kaoshantun and killed all the old oxen and dragged them away!

The people in Kaoshantun Village are calling for people to fight a tiger. You are smart and quick to react. I was thinking of joining forces with you. Why don’t we go fight the tiger together?

If this guy succeeds, he can at least create a millionaire!! ” Zhu Erhai said with anticipation.

It is not an exaggeration to say that a tiger can make a millionaire. A complete tiger skin alone is worth a lot of money. Tiger bones, meat, and penis are rare items that can be sold at high prices.

Ever since Zhu Erhai heard the news, he realized that this was a great opportunity. With a little luck, he could rise to fame overnight.

“Over in Kaoshantun, beating the tiger?” Wang Xiaonian frowned when he heard the words “beat the tiger”.

The tiger is the king of the mountain. Except for its inability to fly, it is an all-round hexagonal warrior with no blind spots. It is not an easy task for ordinary hunters to hunt a tiger. The risk is like hanging your head on your belt and earning money by risking your life.

“Yes! I have verified the accuracy of the news. It is indeed a grown tiger! Not only did it drag away the cow, it also attacked a gatekeeper. It must have been registered!” Zhu Erhai continued.

“In that case, there’s nothing wrong with hitting it! Brother Erhai, how do you want to hit it?” Wang Xiaonian did not shake his head to refuse, but continued to ask.

“We have guns, so of course we’ll shoot it! No matter how powerful the tiger is, it’s still made of flesh and blood. If you shoot it in the head, it’ll be forced to kneel! Besides, the hunters in the surrounding villages have all become interested after hearing the news, and there are quite a few of them.

Let’s follow the main force. If we are lucky enough to catch a shot, we will be rich! This hanging barrel gun I just got uses a new barrel and has a very good accuracy! “

Zhu Erhai was still immersed in an atmosphere of great confidence in his marksmanship, giving people the feeling that he was a sharpshooter who could hit the target as soon as he saw it.

Wang Xiaonian smiled and shook his head after hearing this: “It’s not that easy to beat a tiger!

Let’s not talk about anything else, just following other hunters up the mountain, what do you think will happen even if you hit the target?”

“Whoever hits the target gets it! What’s the point of this? I don’t believe anyone dares to steal our prey!”

Zhu Erhai was like a dog protecting its food, his eyes instantly exuding a sense of hostility.

“Tigers are not ordinary wild animals. If you want to hunt them, you need to report to the higher authorities step by step, and at least get approval from the leaders at the city level!

Let’s not talk about whether we can get it or not. Even if we do, we have to hand it over to the country. We can’t just keep it!” Wang Xiaonian said.

“Um… is there such a saying?”

Zhu Erhai has the courage to face any other hunter who dares to compete with him for the prey, but he does not dare to confront the country.

It is true that the mountain hunters are tough, but the administrative agencies are not pushovers either. If they dare to show off, they will be punished no matter how powerful they are.

Wang Xiaonian analyzed very rationally: “Of course! If you want to follow the hunting team and respond to the call to help fight tigers, I don’t think it makes much sense. At best, we can only get a tiny reward! There are too many people and it might even cause disputes!”

“Fuck! So even if I’m lucky enough to be killed by a tiger, it’s still useless!” Zhu Erhai scratched his head in frustration.

“Don’t be discouraged, I haven’t finished speaking yet!” Wang Xiaonian continued.

“you say……”

“Tigers are rare. We haven’t heard of any tigers here for decades! Since we have a chance, we shouldn’t give up!

We must fight, but there must be a reason for how to fight!” Wang Xiaonian continued.

“Yeah! I also think this is a rare opportunity! Do you mean that we should go up the mountain secretly without joining other hunting teams, hoping to eat alone?” The frustration on Zhu Erhai’s face dissipated, and hope soon returned.

“Yes! If you want to maximize your profits, you must eat all the food yourself! If you kill a tiger with great effort and end up handing it over, you might as well stay warm at home!”

“More specifically, what do you think we should do? I won’t say much about our friendship, but if we can get this done, we’ll each take half!!”

Zhu Erhai’s eyes were shining. He thought that he had made the right decision to come to Wang Xiaonian’s house. This guy was very smart and could see things more deeply than he did.

Wang Xiaonian frowned slightly, thought for a few seconds and said: “Any decision must be supported by intelligence! Now we only know that the tiger came down the mountain to steal cattle, and the village organized people to fight the tiger, but there are no more details, so we can’t make a more detailed arrangement!
Therefore, the first step is to find a way to get more information!
For example, where the tiger’s tracks were found, whether the tiger is male or female, an adult, or a cub that just left its mother, the more information the better!

The second step is to wait until we have a general understanding of the information, then we will identify the suspicious areas and make arrangements to hunt down the corrupt official!
I heard from the older generation that if a tiger is in the mountains, it cannot be trapped by ordinary hunting dogs. To hunt this thing, you have to lure it around or ambush it!

The third step is, if you succeed, where to hide it, how to transport it back without anyone noticing, and then quietly sell it for money! These things must be planned in advance!”

Wang Xiaonian is indeed the Sleeping Dragon of Xing’an Village. After Wang Xiaonian’s analysis, Zhu Erhai immediately felt that his thoughts became much clearer. “

“Then, how do we get more intelligence? Ask someone?” Zhu Erhai continued to ask.

Wang Xiaonian shook his head: “I think that unless you are a very close friend, you will never get accurate information like this!

You have a gun in your hand, so I suggest you follow the main force, go into the mountain first, and pay attention to various information secretly!
Tigers are not so easy to capture. If they want to run away, ordinary people will have a hard time stopping them even if they have guns!
When a tiger runs, it carries the wind with it. In the dense forest, let alone a No. 16 rifle, even if you have a No. 56 and a half, you still can’t hit it!

If we want to accomplish something, planning can only account for a small part. Most of it depends on luck and whether God will give us the opportunity!”

“According to your idea, I will follow the main force first to verify the authenticity of the matter, and then secretly collect various intelligence. Once useful intelligence is found, we will discuss and decide how to take down the tiger alone!” Zhu Erhai resummarized Wang Xiaonian’s ideas.

“Yes! I’ll go with you too! More people will at least provide more help!
But first of all, we are not really going there to fight tigers, so you must not get too carried away at the critical moment!

I guess, apart from the hunters in Kaoshan Village, there should be many people outside who have similar ideas as us. This is a large sum of money, and it is not a small matter to put it in their own pockets. “

“Okay! What else do we need to prepare? I’ll arrange it now!!” Zhu Erhai felt more at ease when he heard that Wang Xiaonian would go with him.

“Don’t prepare anything else. Just bring your dog and gun. We can go there alone! Oh, and bring a bunch of grenades just in case!”

Zhu Erhai: “What are you waiting for? Let’s go!
Let’s go to Kaoshantun Village Office first to see what’s going on. The news came out this morning, and it will definitely take some time for the surrounding hunters to gather. If we go now, we should be in time!”

“Okay, wait for me to say hello to my mom! I estimate that today’s gathering is just to gather everyone in advance. The real big move up the mountain will be at least tomorrow!”

“Well, let’s go take a look first, and then act when the time is right!”

…………

Soon, Zhu Erhai and Wang Xiaonian reached a consensus. Wang Xiaonian then said goodbye to his family and went back home with Zhu Erhai. He took the family’s three hunting dogs, carried a hunting rifle, and left the village from the main road at the entrance and headed straight for Kaoshantun.

As mentioned before, Kaoshantun is a mountain village where Manchus and Han people live together. There are several hundred households, and the village is much larger than Xing’an Village.

The Manchu mountain people are much more sturdy and there are more hunters going up the mountain to hunt than in the villages near the foot of the mountain near the forest farm.

However, Kaoshantun is not far from Xing’an Village. After living together for so many years, the relationship between the villages is still pretty good. In previous years, they organized hunting activities in the mountains and had some interactions, so they are not strangers.

Brothers Zhu Erhai and Wang Xiaonian, leading their dogs and carrying their guns, walked to Kaoshantun and headed straight for the village office.

Even from a distance, Zhu Erhai was shocked by the situation before him.
