Chapter 160 One after another
“There’s no need for us men to be so polite, but you contacted the township security department, and they promptly sent people to handle the matter. You can’t just do them a favor in vain! These bear legs and paws are not all for you! Don’t you still have to repay the favor?” Yue Feng said clearly.

It’s true, although Yue Feng is young, he has a very clear mind about the etiquette of welcoming and seeing off guests.

Human feelings, human feelings, what is human feelings, just open your mouth and call them human feelings!

What does coming and going mean? It means coming and going only when there is coming and going.

Now that the other party received the call, not only did they handle the matter beautifully, but they also paid the reward in advance. As the relevant contact person, if Wang Jianguo sent some bear meat as a token of his appreciation afterwards, it would definitely be the icing on the cake and a good thing to enhance the relationship.

“If that’s the case, I won’t be polite to you about these bear legs and bear paws!” Wang Jianguo said happily.

“Hehe! Do you need to be polite to your nephew? Just tell me after we finish eating the wild boar meat at home. I will then take the eagle to the mountain to catch it. I promise not to delay my aunt’s cooking!” Yue Feng joked with a smile.

“You! You little brat, stop hanging around in the yard and go inside to drink some water.

I’m happy today. I have some good tea. Let your aunt boil some water and we can have a taste!” Wang Jianguo said happily.

“Let’s do it another day. We’ve been busy in the mountains until now and haven’t had lunch yet! Let’s go back first and come back when we have time!” Yue Feng called out, and the four dogs dragged the sled, carrying the remaining bear meat out of the yard and headed straight for their home.

When the four brothers returned home, Meng Yulan was preparing lunch for her son in the kitchen.

“Wait a moment, go inside and warm up by the fire wall! The hot meal will be ready soon!”

Yue Feng and his companions went into the house and took off the miscellaneous items on their bodies. Then they took out the bounty they had just received from their pockets and distributed the money and food coupons to the brothers according to the usual dividend distribution ratio.

This trip up the mountain was quite rewarding. Not counting the body of a half-blind bear, there was also a grass gall, three hundred yuan in cash, and two hundred kilograms of food coupons. The total value of these things added up to almost a thousand yuan.

When brothers encounter problems, they work together; when they make money, everyone can get his share. This friendship, which is not that of blood brothers but is closer than that of brothers, becomes more solid and more precious as they go through more and more things together.

Yue Lei came out of the east room on crutches carrying the baby eagle. Yue Feng told him everything that happened today.

After listening to his son’s retelling, Yue Lei said, “I’ve heard of Zhang Dayantong. He’s not the kind of person who would keep silent if he was humiliated. Just wait and see. This matter is not over yet!”

Yue Lei really came true. After the two officers who were responsible for verifying the authenticity of the bounty on the black bear went back and reported the matter, the hot-tempered Zhang Dayantong got on the small jeep and headed straight for the Red Star Forest Farm.

Zhou Jianchun, who had just lost face in front of Yue Feng not long ago, was blocked in the office by Zhang Dayuntong. Zhang Dayuntong, who was furious, spitted all over Zhou Jianchun’s face and cursed him. He then took Zhou Jianchun to the Finance Department on the spot to collect the publicly promised reward and food coupons.

Zhou Jianchun, Yue Feng and several other young men dared to fight and talk official language, but in front of Zhang Dayantong, they knew they were in the wrong and dared not even fart. After being scolded, they obediently gave up the reward. This was considered to be a way to calm the situation and stabilize the situation.

Speaking of Zhang Dayantong, he is also a wonderful person. His real name is Zhang Hongbin. He is 46 years old this year. He is a retired military officer who has transferred to the local area to become the director of the township security department.

Thanks to the fine traditions of our army, Zhang Hongbin has retained his previous style of doing things after taking office in the local area, protecting the country and the people, guarding the area, and doing his job well.

If we have to find fault with him, it is that he never puts down his cigarette, so he got the nickname Zhang Big Cigarette Pipe.

Wang Jianguo is two years younger than Zhang Hongbin. Both of them have military experience. They met at a meeting in the village and then kept in touch with each other. However, their relationship before that could only be considered as acquaintances. They were just acquaintances and their interactions were not too close.

However, their relationship is about to deviate from its original track because of the bear paws and bear legs left behind by Yue Feng.

After driving up to the forest farm and having a blast, Zhang Dayantong got the reward and food coupons, then went down the mountain and returned to his own territory contentedly.

Before dinner time, Wang Jianguo rode his bicycle with a snakeskin woven bag tied to the back seat and went straight to the township security department.

Because of the special nature of the township security department, there were dormitories at the back. Wang Jianguo went to the dormitory at the back carrying a woven bag and stayed there until around nine o’clock in the evening, when he came out reeking of alcohol.

On the way home, Wang Jianguo, who had been drinking a little, couldn’t help but sigh that Yue Feng was right. He sent some game to Zhang Hongbin on the pretext of helping him. Since they were comrades-in-arms, he stayed and provided meals for them. After a few drinks, their relationship made rapid progress.

The more Wang Jianguo looked at Yue Feng, the more he liked him. On the way home, drunken Wang Jianguo was still thinking that if he could marry his daughter to the Yue family, she would definitely enjoy a happy life for the rest of her life.

……

The farce seemed to have been settled with the intervention of the village committee and the township security department. As the final winner, Yue Feng’s team not only got the prey but also received the reward money. It was a happy ending for everyone.

However, the incidents of blind bears injuring people in the mountains did not stop with the killing of this little female bear.

Two days ago, after being scolded and paying a reward, Zhou Jianchun reported to the forest farm according to the procedure. Then at the meeting the next day, he announced the news that the black bear that attacked people was killed by hunters at the foot of the mountain.

When the workers heard that the blind bear had been killed, they were obviously more relaxed and no longer took detours on their way home from get off work.

But just a few days later, bad news came again.

On the fourth day after Yue Feng and his team received the bounty, maintenance workers at Chaiji Road in the No. 27 forest area who were off work were ambushed by a blind bear again.

This time it was even worse, with one dead and two seriously injured. The dead worker’s entire right thigh and buttocks were chewed up by the bear, and when other workers found him, they could even see the white thigh bone. The scene was so tragic that the workers, who had experienced so many ups and downs, were completely fed up.

No matter how much salary you are offered, you have to have the life to earn it and the life to spend it.

Most of the workers doing the harvesting and pruning in the forest area are temporary workers hired by the felling factory. They take advantage of the snow in winter and use animals to pull the felled wood to do the work.

Now there are frequent incidents of black bears attacking people, and these temporary workers would rather die than do this job.

For a while, several consecutive frosting factories had no one working.

As a result, the originally busy fencing factory soon became deserted. The wood that had been submitted for production plan could not be transported out because no one was working. The upstream departments issued several notices criticizing the delays in production.

Zhou Jianchun, as the person in charge of production safety at the Red Star Forest Farm, bore almost all of the wrath of his superiors.

This grandson is now at a loss. He thinks that he has solved the fundamental problem by killing a bear, and he is still thinking of playing some tricks on Yue Feng and the others.

However, unexpectedly, the law of retribution came true. The bear that attacked Leng Factory was not the same bear that attacked the workers on Chaiji Road.

If Zhou Jianchun had politely paid the bounty to Yue Feng and the others and left a token of friendship, even if something similar happened again, at least they could still keep in touch. Even if it cost some price, at least this difficult problem could be solved.

But what about Zhou Jianchun? He was so smart that he kept thinking about the bear that someone else had killed, which completely offended Yue Feng and the others.

In fact, not only did he offend Yue Feng and his people, but he also offended the relationship with the township security department.

Now, even if Zhou Jianchun was willing to offer a huge reward to find hunters to hunt the bear at the foot of the mountain, Zhang Dayantong would not help him gather people.

For a time, such a large Red Star Forest Farm was thrown into an extremely embarrassing situation because of this incident.

Forest ranger team office.

Zhou Jianchun showed off his authority in front of his subordinates, spitting and scolding: “The farm spends so much money every month, what are they doing supporting you guys?
The warehouse in the equipment room of the field has guns and bullets, and a mad black bear. You haven’t solved the problem for so long! Do you know how much production plans of the factory have been delayed?”

“Director Zhou, this can’t be blamed on us! We are just veterans, so we have no problem shooting, but hunting and shooting are not the same thing!

We organized people to search the mountain several times, but we couldn’t find any trace of the blind bear. We were at a loss!”

Guo Jianfeng, the captain of the forest protection team, was also feeling a little upset. The whereabouts of this blind bear were erratic. He and his men had searched for it several times but could not find any useful traces.

Now the pressure from his superiors fell on Zhou Jianchun, who could only feel his incompetence and rage at his low-level subordinates.

“I don’t care what method you use, what I want is the result! If you can’t solve the problem of blind bears attacking people before the end of this month, then you’ll be prepared to be punished!” After venting his anger, Zhou Jianchun slammed the door and left.

After the leader left, the members of the forest ranger team looked at each other.

“Boss, what should we do? How about we gather more people and sweep the suspicious areas again?” A team member looked up at Guo Jianfeng, waiting for the captain to make a decision.

Guo Jianfeng took out a pack of cigarettes without a cigarette holder from his pocket, lit it and took a puff, then said in a somewhat unhappy tone, “This damn Zhou Jianchun, it was obviously him who offended the people from the township security department last time because of the bounty, which resulted in no hunters willing to help us clean up the blind bears, and now he’s blaming us!
We have guns, but we don’t have hounds to track! The hunters with hounds braved the snow and climbed up the mountain, but the dogs were killed by the bears!
Now they have come up with all these weird things of not paying the reward, and instead they want us to take the blame!”

“You can curse us, but we still have to solve the problem! Zhou Jianchun is in charge of our salaries and bonuses!” said another team member.

Guo Jianfeng took a few puffs of his cigarette, and two streams of smoke came out of his nose. After a few seconds of silence, he said, “Let’s wait and see. If there is really no other way, I will go and beg the old squad leader!
Although he scolded Zhou Jianchun last time, if I go to ask him, he should give me some face! Recently, everyone should work harder and do an extra shift of patrol every day. It would be best if we can run into the blind bear who committed the crime! “

……

Over the next few days, the forest farm became much more peaceful. The timid farmers went on strike and dared not go up the mountain to work, and those formal workers with a permanent job could only hold their noses and take detours to and from get off work.

The section of Chaiji Road that had problems several times in a row had basically no pedestrians passing by, so there were no subsequent incidents of bears attacking people. However, the maintenance workers of the Chaiji Road did not dare to go to that section for normal maintenance and inspection, resulting in the layer of ice and snow on the Chaiji Road becoming thicker and thicker. Even if the farmers wanted to drive their livestock up the mountain to work, the road would have been difficult to pass.

Just like that, four or five days later, just when everyone thought that the black bear that attacked people had gone somewhere else, another accident happened.

The buyer who went down the mountain to purchase supplies for the forest farm canteen was chased by a black bear on his way up the mountain. Fortunately, he was smart and carried a razor with him to scare the bear away, otherwise, it would have been another tragedy.

The matter was reported to the forest farm leaders, and Zhou Jianchun was scolded again by the top leader at the regular meeting. After the meeting, the forest protection team leader Guo Jianfeng was scolded by Zhou Jianchun again.

Guo Jianfeng had no choice. Since this was his job and his responsibility, he could only bear the blame if something went wrong.

If this continues, it will still be a long time before the New Year, and dragging it out is not a solution. Guo Jianfeng gritted his teeth and thought about asking the old squad leader for help.
