Chapter 193 Bullets, Bullets!
“Hey, Brother Xiao Yue, come in and warm up! Did you come to play with me specially? You don’t have anything to do in the afternoon, right? I’ll go to the cafeteria to get some snacks at noon, and we’ll have some drinks!” Guo Jianfeng said politely when he saw Yue Feng.

“Brother Guo, are you busy? I went up the mountain to hunt, and I happened to pass by the forest farm when I came down the mountain, so I came over here!”

“It’s normal duty, just be on duty, is there anything wrong?”

Guo Jianfeng also had a very good impression of Yue Feng. Last time, when he was drinking and eating at his old squad leader’s place, he woke up to find that the guy had stuffed a yellow box of ginseng cigarettes into the military bag he lent to Yue Feng.

“It’s nothing serious. I went hunting and got some bear meat. Last time, your forest ranger team worked hard for a long time but didn’t get any meat. This time, I’ve left some for you. Share it among you all and change your taste!” Yue Feng said lightly.

“You came all the way here to give me bear meat? Where is it?!”

Guo Jianfeng was instantly warmed by these words.

They are all young people, and there are not so many twists and turns in dealing with each other. Simply giving things will increase goodwill. On this basis, if there is also heartwarming feelings, the lethality is not as simple as one plus one equals two.

After all, being remembered by others is always a blessing.

Yue Feng’s hard-earned network of contacts must not be wasted. By sharing some of the profits, he can maintain and even deepen the relationship. It is a sure-win deal no matter how you look at it.

“It’s outside. Find a snakeskin bag to put it in. There are many people in the forest farm and it would be bad if others saw it!”

“Okay, wait a minute!”

Guo Jianfeng turned and went into the house, went to the inner lounge and took out a urea bag from under the bed.

“Let’s go! This bag will be enough!”

Yue Feng took Guo Jianfeng out of the duty room and walked straight to the south gate.

Yue Feng called out to Xiao Wen, “Xiao Wen, untie the rope tied to the sled and bring some bear meat to Brother Guo!”

“Oh, okay!” Xiaowen responded and immediately pulled the knot of the rope.

“Wow, this bear is not small! Such a big head!”

Guo Jianfeng was quite surprised to see the large piece of bear meat tied to the wild boar-skin sled. Judging from the bear’s legs and other parts, it was thicker than the skinned bear he had killed before!
“It’s really big, the fur weighs four to five hundred kilograms. My uncle led us to kill the bear, and the bear left a small part and gave us the bulk!

The quantity is limited, I will give you two hind paws and a bear leg! Forest ranger brothers, come and have a try!”

While greeting, Yue Feng stuffed two bear paws and a whole bear leg into the urea bag. The deflated bag immediately became bulging after the bear legs were stuffed into it.

“You don’t need so much, can you just take less?” Guo Jianfeng was a little surprised by Yue Feng’s generosity. This bear thigh must have at least dozens of kilograms of pure meat, which is not a small amount.

“Don’t we have to share some with our teammates? We still have some reserves at home, so don’t be polite, guys!” Yue Feng said with a smile.

“Okay, I’ll take it! And last time, why did you sneak a pack of cigarettes into my pocket while I was drunk? That was so weird!” Guo Jianfeng thought of the pack of Ginseng brand cigarettes again.

Yue Feng grinned: “If there are cigarettes, anyone can smoke! Didn’t you also get me a lot of bullets?”

Hearing the word “bullet”, Guo Jianfeng’s heart moved: “I can’t carry this bear meat by myself, help me carry it back to the office!”

“Row!”

……

Five minutes later, Yue Feng came out of the gate again carrying the army green bag.

“Let’s go! Go home!” Yue Feng waved his hand, signaling them to go home.

After leaving the area at the entrance of the forest farm, Xiao Tao asked curiously, “Brother, why are you sending bear meat to the captain of the forest ranger team? Do we need his help?”

Yue Feng didn’t speak immediately, but patted the army green shoulder bag around his waist.

“What?” Xiao Tao came closer, opened the bag and took a look.

“Fuck, so many bullets!”

The bag was filled with unopened 7.62mm medium-power rifle bullets wrapped in brown paper. There were more than what was given last time, almost twenty packages, nearly 500 rounds of bullets.

Yue Feng nodded with a smile: “Where do you think the bullets came from before!
This time when we went up the mountain, we left about a hundred bullets for Uncle Zhao. We don’t have much bullet reserve, so we have to get some more.

Besides, you guys still need to practice your marksmanship!”

“It would be better for the county magistrate to take charge now! A captain of a forest ranger team can get so many bullets from the forest farm. Isn’t he afraid of being investigated?” Xiaowen asked with some emotion.

Yue Feng shook his head: “Bullets are consumables. They are purchased and replenished regularly and scrapped regularly!

The forest rangers have patrol missions every day, and they need to carry guns when going up the mountain regularly. In addition, they also organize target shooting training regularly, so the ammunition is replaced relatively quickly!
There are more than 20 people in the forest ranger team. They will fire thousands of bullets during one shooting. If these bullets are counted in the daily loss, they will not be noticeable at all. Don’t worry!
However, this amount of bullets is not enough. After returning to the village, I have to go to my uncle’s house to shoot some bullets.

Uncle Zhao gave us a bear. Next time we go up the mountain, we must make sure to fill the gap in the bullets for him. What do you think? “

Xiaowu nodded: “You are the captain, I will listen to you! We will do whatever you say! We haven’t finished eating the bear meat at home. Apart from the bear paws and bear gall, nothing else can be sold at a high price! We can take it out to exchange for favors, so we won’t suffer any loss!”

This is the advantage of working with buddies whose temperaments and personalities are familiar to you. Logically speaking, the bear meat should also be considered a gain for the team. However, Yue Feng made the decision to deliver the meat to Guo Jianfeng without consulting his teammates, which was somewhat against the rules.

But several team members didn’t think anything was wrong. Yue Feng never did things for himself. These bullets and the favors he maintained were all for the service of the team. No one cared how the captain dealt with them and gave Yue Feng great autonomy.

The four brothers dragged the sled and led the dog down the mountain and returned to the village before two o’clock in the afternoon.

As soon as people entered the alley, the dogs in the yard started to fight. Meng Yulan, who had been worried, ran out from the north room.

“mom!”

“aunt!”

“aunt!”

……

“You kids are finally back! Your dad and I didn’t sleep well last night, fearing that you would run into danger again while staying in the mountains. Is everything going well?”

Meng Yulan looked at this and that, and only felt relieved when she saw that all four children were safe.

Yue Feng grinned and said, “Don’t worry, we spent the night in the cellar of Uncle Zhao’s house, and had corn porridge with lean meat in the morning!
This trip up the mountain yielded quite a lot, we killed two roe deer and also brought back a half-blind bear!”

“Hit the bear again? Did you go to kill bears?”

Upon hearing that her son had shot a blind bear, Meng Yulan lowered her head to look at the meat on the sled. After discovering that it was indeed bear meat, her face, which had just brightened up, showed signs of turning cloudy again.

“Hehe, it was Uncle Zhao who led us in the fight! Xiaowu and I had two guns, and we didn’t fire a single bullet. Uncle Zhao taught us how to kill Xiong Cangzi. It was such a big bear, but Uncle Zhao smashed the bear’s head with just one shot!
They gave us a large piece of bear meat and a copper gallbladder of excellent quality! Although we didn’t kill the wild boar king this time, we got two roe deer and a bear, which made us a lot of money! “

“I gave you the bronze gallbladder too? Why?”

Meng Yulan was a little confused when she heard her son’s words. Bear gallbladder is a precious thing these days, so it is not reasonable to give it to others casually.

“Hey, let’s go back to the house and talk. You’re interrogating us right at the gate! We haven’t even had lunch yet!”

“Look at my brain. Go inside and warm up first. I’ll continue to cook for you!”

Hearing that her eldest son had not eaten yet, Meng Yulan felt so distressed that she immediately let a few people into the north room.

After entering the north room, the brothers discovered that there were not only Meng Yulan and Yue Lei at home. Xiao Tao’s mother and Xiaowen and Xiaowu’s mothers were all sleeping on the kang in the east room.

Seeing this scene, Yue Feng felt warmed in his heart. This is truly a mother’s worry when her son is away from home. She was worried about her son spending the night in the mountains for the first time and she was a little worried.

After calling out to everyone, the atmosphere in the house became a little better after seeing that their children had all returned safely.

Meng Yulan was very quick and efficient and quickly prepared the meal. She fried an egg with green onions, heated up a pot of pork belly and sauerkraut stew that she had just made at noon, cut up a can of luncheon meat, and added a bowl of pickled vegetables with meat oil, which made a total of four dishes.

The four brothers, who had been hungry for a long time, did not hesitate to eat the steamed buns after the dishes were put on the table. After a lot of eating, they finally filled their hungry stomachs.

“Tell me, what’s going on? Why did they give us a bear for free?”

After her son and his friends finished their meal, Meng Yulan took Yue Feng and the others to the east room to continue questioning them.

Yue Feng told the whole story from beginning to end about how he met Uncle Zhao, how his grandfather and Uncle Chen were friends with Uncle Zhao, and how they promised the other party to give him a falcon next autumn.

“It’s true that Zhao Paotou had contact with our family in the past. I know about this. When the old man was still alive, he would occasionally go to the mountains and spend the night in his cellar!” After listening to his son’s story, Yue Lei echoed it. This matter made sense.

“So, this time when we went up the mountain, we didn’t find the wild boar king?”

Yue Feng shook his head: “Indeed, there were hundreds of pigs gathered together, but when we went there, the herd had dispersed! We didn’t see the wild boar king, but the footprints on the ground were so big!”

Yue Feng gestured the size of the wild boar king’s footprints. Seeing that the footprints were almost the size of a cow’s hoof, Yue Lei was also a little surprised.

“Okay, if we didn’t succeed, then we didn’t succeed. The beasts that are the kings of this mountain are not easy to deal with. They are very smart!
You guys take a break, and hang up the roe deer and put it away! Don’t leave at night, let’s make dumplings with roe deer filling!” Meng Yulan instructed.

Yue Feng nodded: “Okay! This roe deer was killed yesterday. It’s frozen solid in the snow. Let’s bring it inside to thaw it. When it’s soft, we can remove the meat and skin it!”

After two days of climbing over mountains and walking on mountain roads, the hunting team was exhausted. As soon as they took a rest after eating and drinking, they immediately felt sleepy.

Xiao Tao and the others wanted to go home and have a sleep before coming back at night, but Yue Feng pulled them directly into his room.

The three boys, big and small, all took off their shoes and got on the kang without even washing their feet. Soon, the sound of several people snoring could be heard from the kang.

In comparison, the road to Yuefeng was not so tiring as I didn’t drag the sled. I just stayed in the east room and chatted with my father and two aunts for a while.

After the roe deer had been thawed in the house, Yue Feng picked up the roe deer’s legs and hung them on the rack in the yard. He then skinned and boned the roe deer and shaved out all the meat.

When the roe deer meat was brought into the house, several women immediately got busy. Some were chopping the stuffing, some were kneading the dough. After all the preparations were done, they gathered around the table and started making dumplings.

With more people working together, the work happened faster. Before dark, they had finished making five full buns of dumplings.

As soon as it gets dark, the big pot in the kitchen starts to boil water for dumplings. Before six o’clock, the dumplings are out of the pot.

The three people on the kang in the west room started shouting. The masters were sitting at a table on the kang in the east room, and the women and children were sitting at a table in the middle of the kitchen.

Then they used a large bowl to send a bowl to Uncle Li, the neighbor in front, who was at home, and another bowl to Grandma Li, the neighbor behind. The three families ate dumplings together in a lively atmosphere, sharing the joy of the children’s harvest from hunting in the mountains.

After having a good meal and a good drink, it was half past eight. Xiao Tao’s family and Xiao Wen’s family said goodbye and went home early. After both families left, Yue Feng took out a snakeskin bag from the warehouse and went out again under the cover of night.

The snakeskin bag contained a whole roe deer hind leg and nearly ten pounds of bear meat.

Not only do you have to maintain relationships with friends outside, you also can’t neglect your future father-in-law’s family.

What’s more, Yue Feng was still thinking about getting more bullets from Wang Jianguo.

Holding a flashlight, Yue Feng walked in the village for less than ten minutes and arrived at Wang Jianguo’s home. The gate was locked. Yue Feng shouted a few times, and soon Wang Jianguo’s wife Zhang Cuilian came out wearing a cotton jacket.

“Who?”

“Aunt, it’s me, Xiaofeng!”

Hearing that it was Yue Feng knocking on the door, Zhang Cuilian quickly opened the door.

“It’s Erxiao, come in quickly!”

“I just came back from the mountain this afternoon. I got some roe deer and bear meat for you and my uncle to try!” Yue Feng took down the snakeskin bag on his shoulder.

“Why are you carrying so much? Did you go up the mountain to make a fortune?” Zhang Cuilian asked in surprise as she was holding the bag and almost couldn’t lift it.

“Hehe, it’s alright, I killed two roe deer and brought back a blind bear!”

“Come in quickly! Jianguo, your eldest nephew is here to bring you meat!” Zhang Cuilian carried a bag into the warehouse and led Yue Feng into the house.

In the room, Wang Jianguo had finished his meal and was sitting on the edge of the kang listening to the radio. When he heard his wife calling Yue Feng, he immediately put on his shoes and came out to greet him.

Wang Xiaona, who was staying in her room, was slightly moved when she heard that Yue Feng had come to her house. However, she did not show up, but instead pricked up her ears to listen carefully to the noise outside.

“Uncle!” Yue Feng walked in and greeted him.

“Another big hit! You’re a great hunter! You can hit wild animals every now and then, and you never go up empty-handed!”

“Hehe, I’m lucky to have made it! Well, this time I came here, besides delivering meat, I also have something else to do!”

“What’s the matter? Tell me!”

“Didn’t you say earlier that you were out of bullets? I came to see you. Do you have any half-used 56 bullets for 7.62mm?”

“Yes, a lot of it is given out during militia training every year. Wait for me to get it for you!”

Wang Jianguo did not hesitate and quickly went to the village office, opened the gun cabinet where guns and ammunition were stored, and took out half a box of bullets.

There are two unopened boxes underneath. This small half box contains about three or four hundred rounds, all neatly wrapped in brown paper, 25 rounds in a package, neatly stacked.
