Reborn in the 1980s: I made my fortune hunting wild game in Changbai Mountain

Chapter 442: Borrowing an Eagle or a Dog

After the four brothers Yue Feng packed up their tools and went into their father-in-law’s house to wash their hands, Yue Feng discovered that Zhou Yuanchao, Zhang Junhong, and several other hunters in the village who were much older than Yue Feng were waiting in the room next door to the village office.

The large red-painted table used for village meetings was filled with wine and food. Everyone was smoking and drinking tea, and there were at least seven or eight people talking.

“Uncle, what’s going on?” Yue Feng did not rush into the house, but pulled Wang Jianguo and asked in a low voice.

“Today you led a group to act alone, and you hunted so many wild boars in one trip into the mountains. Xiao Zhou and Lao Zhang came to me and wanted to discuss the hunting plan of Operation Autumn Wind again!
I couldn’t resist and had to agree.

These people are jealous of you, I don’t want you to be hated too much, it would be a waste if we become enemies!” Wang Jianguo muttered softly.

After hearing this, Yue Feng finally understood what was going on.

Everyone else went up the mountain together, but the four brothers from Yue Feng’s team went alone and ate alone.

Although Wang Jianguo had agreed to go to Ergunianggou, eating alone would easily attract gossip.

The father-in-law was afraid that the other hunting teams would quit, so he gritted his teeth and asked his son-in-law to appease these hunters.

“Just calm these people down and continue to help the village clear out the wild animals, okay?” Yue Feng continued to ask.

Wang Jianguo nodded: “Yes! The people in the room are your peers or even uncles. They are upset about the arrangements for going up the mountain. Let’s be a little more humble! Just make sure we can explain it!”

“Okay!” Yue Feng nodded and made a decision in his mind.

The father-in-law is definitely on his side, but when living in the village, one cannot eat too ugly. Wang Jianguo must have helped Yue Feng bear a lot of pressure.

Now these people are discussing to readjust the method of going up the mountain to clear the wild animals. It is nothing more than jealousy and a little bit of imbalance in their hearts.

As long as Yue Feng puts on a good show, gets his attitude right, and gives up a little bit of advantage, he will definitely be able to get away with this matter.

Having made up his mind, Yue Feng pulled the three brothers Xiao Tao and Xiao Wen aside and whispered a few words to them. Then he boldly pushed open the door of the village office.

“Oh, I’m so sorry. I’ve kept the brothers, uncles and grandpas at the table waiting for so long!!!” The first thing Yue Feng said when he entered the room was to apologize.

“Xiao Feng, you guys are done, come inside and sit down!!!”

Seeing Yue Feng coming in, Zhang Junhong immediately stood up with a smile and sat Yue Feng in the main seat opposite the door.

“Hey, Uncle Zhang, I don’t dare to sit in the main seat. Let’s move to the side. I’ll just sit near the door. I can serve everyone food and pour wine later!”

Yue Feng chuckled, turned around and picked up a stool from behind the door.

Everyone else was sitting on either stools or chairs with backrests. This stool couldn’t even reach the height of the dining table. If you really sat on it, you would have to raise your arms high to pick up food.

“Look everyone, Xiaofeng is still being polite to us! This is your father-in-law’s house, and it’s only natural for the son-in-law to sit at the head of the table wherever he goes! Besides, in terms of business ability, your hunting team is also the leader. Today is the first day we went up the mountain, and we killed those wild boars!”

Zhou Yuanchao also stood up and casually put his hand on Yue Feng’s shoulder.

“Brother Zhou, you are making fun of me. If this is a wedding banquet, then there is nothing wrong with me sitting in the main seat.

We are not discussing serious matters in the village office now, we still need to respect the elders and juniors! It is not appropriate for me to sit in the main seat, it is really not appropriate! ! “

Yue Feng waved his hands repeatedly. The other party tried to use force with his arms, but Yue Feng refused and just sat on the stool which was obviously half a head shorter than the stool.

“Okay, Xiao Zhou, if Xiao Yue doesn’t want to sit here, just sit at the door! You sit on this stool, and we’ll move over here. We’ll need Xiao Yue’s help when we discuss business later!”

Zhao Hongbo, the son of Uncle Zhao at the head of the village, interrupted at this time and gestured for the students to sit closer.

Uncle Zhao himself has a high prestige in the village, and his eldest son Zhao Hongbo is also familiar with several families in the village. He is one of the few people who gives face to everyone.

After hearing what Zhao Hongbo said, the others stopped forcing them and moved their seats aside, allowing Yue Feng, Xiao Tao, Xiao Wen, Xiao Wu and others to sit on both sides of the door.

Soon, Wang Jianguo also came over with a few bottles of strong liquor. Beida Cang liquor was considered a good liquor at that time, at least several grades higher than Sanlouzi.

“Come, everyone is here. Let’s try this wine tonight!” Wang Jianguo opened the bottle cap and put it directly on the table.

Almost at the same time, Wang Xiaona and Zhang Cuilian each came into the room carrying two hot dishes, and the atmosphere in the room became noticeably better.

The wine and food were served, and everyone was present. There was no rush to discuss anything, and soon, under the leadership of Wang Jianguo, they began the “battle”.

There is nothing much to say about drinking and eating. Everyone was chatting about what they had seen and heard during the day. Yue Feng spoke very little and just listened quietly to everyone’s conversation.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Zhou Yuanchao was the first to turn the topic at the table to tomorrow’s hunting arrangements.

“Brother Xiao Yue, your hunting team ate all the food today and your stomachs are full!
Our other hunting teams were busy in the mountains all day, but we didn’t catch many wild animals!

While everyone is here, I suggest that we discuss the arrangements for going up the mountain tomorrow! ! “

Hearing Zhou Yuanchao’s words, Yue Feng nodded and said, “I wonder if Brother Zhou has any good suggestions?

We were lucky today and did get some meat!! But it was not without loss. Two dogs were picked by the cannon eggs, so it will be difficult for them to go up the mountain in a short time. “

“The wild boar injured the dog? Is it serious?” Zhang Junhong frowned and asked. “It’s okay. The seven or eight cuts didn’t hurt the vital parts. It’s just a superficial injury. I asked Wang Dabo to sew dozens of stitches. I’ll keep it on drips at home for a few days and it should heal. I definitely can’t go up the mountain in the next few days!”

It’s okay. If you have any ideas, just speak them out normally! We are all here to eliminate the pests for the villagers. I will obey the village’s arrangements!”

Zhou Yuanchao paused for a moment and said, “Now that you’re injured, it’s really hard for us to speak up!
I should have heard about your uncle Zhang’s story about how the leader of the hunting team’s dog gang was poisoned to death when we were hunting tigers in winter.

So the serious problem now is that there are no good lead dogs to use!
Without a good lead dog, there is no way to find the wild boar.

Going up the mountain at this time of year and searching aimlessly is too inefficient and is far from achieving the goal of quickly clearing out the harmful mountain animals and ensuring the autumn harvest.”

Yue Feng nodded: “Well, then what?”

“Don’t you have four dogs at home? The first dog is pretty good.

We thought that we should gather our manpower and reorganize the personnel going up the mountain.

Let’s try to get rid of those powerful wild boars and bears as soon as possible!” Zhang Junhong continued.

“It’s OK, but there are so many people, six or seven teams in total, twenty or thirty people! Just relying on me, the leader, is just a drop in the bucket.”

Yue Feng did not refuse, but followed the other party’s line of thought.

“Didn’t your wolf-blooded dog go up the mountain today? These things are all smelly, can you lend them to us?” Zhou Yuanchao finally revealed his real purpose.

This hound is not something that can be borrowed casually.

It’s better with familiar people. For example, if Yue Feng is busy and has no time, Xiao Tao and his brothers Xiaowen and Xiaowu can take their wolf-blooded dogs to the mountains to hunt. That’s not a big problem because the dogs are familiar with the people and will listen to their instructions.

But if you lend your dog to someone you don’t know, it’s a different story.

As long as the dog leash is handed to someone else, the fate of the dog will no longer be decided by the owner.

To put it mildly, the dog thinks its owner doesn’t want it anymore, and the affinity developed through long-term living together will definitely be affected.

To put it more seriously, when the dog goes up the mountain, whether it is alive, dead, or lost is all unknown.

If the hunting dog is damaged after being loaned out, at most you will just have to pay some money, but the slightest mistake will result in a complete mess.

From the moment Zhou Yuanchao mentioned the words “wolf-blooded dog”, Yue Feng knew what the other party was up to.

Under the pretext of organizing hunters in the village to wipe out wild animals that harm farmers, he was actually thinking about the wolf-blooded hound he had raised with great difficulty.

This guy really wants to pick peaches.

“Hahaha, Brother Zhou, you must have remembered it wrongly. My four wolf-blood cubs are less than one year old! It’s true that they followed me up the mountain, but they didn’t do any work!
The two dogs injured today were two of the wolf-blood cubs!

This stupid dog is a bit stubborn. He has a 200-pound egg and dares to rush up. He has made seven or eight holes! He is hanging water at home!”

“No, Head Dog. Don’t you have a falcon over there? I heard that your falcon can also catch pigs. Lend it to us and we’ll return it to you after we’re done hunting!”

Zhang Junhong also took the opportunity to put forward his own demands.

After hearing these people’s little plans, Yue Feng was speechless.

I originally thought that the dinner tonight was for discussing hunting together, and it would be great if we could take advantage of the Yuefeng hunting team’s large number of dogs and guns.

But this group of people actually focused all their attention on their hunting dogs and falcons.

“Uncle Zhang, you are so brave. Let’s not discuss whether we can borrow this eagle first. Let me just say one thing.

There are no leaves on the mountain now. There are old forests everywhere. The leaves are dense and the weeds and bushes in the forest are so dense that even eagles can’t land. Even if I lend it to you, what use can you make of it?”

Yue Feng smiled and refused again.

“Secretary, your brother-in-law is not easy to say. Everyone has nothing. This is originally a job for the village. Now there is no centimeter reward. Everyone can be said to be volunteers! This is not okay, that is not okay, can you at least express your opinion?”

Seeing that Yue Feng was unmoved, Zhou Yuanchao turned to look at Wang Jianguo.

Without waiting for Wang Jianguo to open his mouth, Yue Feng sneered: “Brother Zhou, what you said is meaningless!

What happened in the village has nothing to do with your Zhou family? Did your family plant less land allocated by the village?

My family’s land has been leased out, so we are not worried about wild animals causing harm. If you really follow your logic, I am the one who can ignore everything, right?
You are asking for a dog and an eagle! Don’t you know what these eagles and dogs mean to people who go up the mountain to hunt?”

As soon as the words were spoken, the table fell into complete silence.

This group of people had discussed things privately before coming here, but at the critical moment they were not of one mind and each had his own little plans.

I didn’t expect Yue Feng to be so tough. He didn’t even give everyone face and broke the window paper. (End of this chapter)
