Chapter 376 Old Friend
Yue Feng grinned after hearing Uncle Zhao’s advice: “This guy is indeed very slippery, but he knows my temper and doesn’t dare to show off to me!

He sold me a few points before, and I kept my promise. I have no grudge against him. If he cheated me once, we will have no business dealings in the future. He knows whether he wants to be satisfied once or every time!”

“You just need to be on guard against his character if you know him! When dealing with outsiders, you don’t have to worry about bad tempers, but you have to worry about evil intentions! If there are enough benefits, they will not abide by morals or rules!”

Yue Feng nodded: “Yes, I remember it!

Well, do you know Mr. Qiao? From what Wang Xiaonian said, he should be the one in charge of coordinating and directing this anti-tiger operation!”

“Qiao Lao San, I know him! A few years ago, when I went down the mountain regularly to purchase supplies, I ran into him and he even called me Big Brother.

It’s hard to say now. I’m a lonely person and I don’t like to waste words talking to people I look down upon!

If I remember correctly, his ancestors participated in the revolution. It seems that someone in the Qiao family has connections in Longjiang Province. I don’t know any more details.”

“What about the time when he was young and fought a tiger? Have you heard about it?
When my grandfather was still alive, I seemed to have vaguely heard him mention it, but it has been so long that I have almost forgotten it!” Yue Feng continued to ask.

Hearing Yue Feng asking this question, Uncle Zhao smiled and shook his head: “As far as I can remember, the last time a tiger appeared in the forest area of ​​Fengcheng was in 1953!
How old was Qiao San’er at that time? He was only in his early twenties. At that time, the world was still dominated by money, horses and sticks!

Qiao Saner’s rise to power has only happened in the last ten or twenty years. Even if he participated in the anti-corruption campaign at that time, what could he have done?”

After hearing what Uncle Zhao said, Yue Feng scratched his head slightly: “You mean, his qualifications to fight tigers are questionable?”

“I think they went to hunt tigers, but whether they fired their guns or saw the tigers is another matter!

At that time, I was in the mountains and got the news late, so I didn’t participate. But your grandfather and Old Chen and others responded to the call and participated!
But the older generation has died or retired, and many things can no longer be investigated!
This hunter circle is also a place of fame and fortune. If you are doing well, it is understandable that you would put some harmless gold on your face! It is human nature! ! “

“Well, if you put it that way, then I understand! Anyway, don’t expect him to be too professional or experienced!”

Uncle Zhao nodded: “Yes! It’s okay to mobilize a large number of people to go up the mountain to hunt tigers with a reliable dog.

If you can track the tiger and map out its approximate activity area, and bring more guns with you when you go up the mountain, your success rate will be much higher!

If you don’t have a good dog, and you only rely on the few paw prints left in the snow to track, you may not even see the shadow of the tiger after working all day in the mountains! ”

“You said Uncle Chen also participated in the last tiger hunt?

Otherwise, I will invite Uncle Chen to my house tomorrow during the day.

It just so happens that my family is not busy these days, so you old friends can get together and have a few drinks!” Yue Feng suggested.

Before the New Year, Yue Feng went to Uncle Chen’s house to give New Year gifts. They had agreed at that time to find a day in the first month of the lunar year to visit again, but Uncle Chen’s family probably had many relatives, so they hadn’t set a specific time in the past few days.

Now tomorrow is the ninth day of the first lunar month, and the work of welcoming and seeing off guests and visiting relatives should be almost done. Yue Feng will go to invite someone tomorrow, and there is a high probability that Uncle Chen will be free.

“How could I have forgotten this! If you care about this tiger, it would be a good idea to ask Chen Erguai!

Back then, he followed the large force and worked hard for several days. Because of his good marksmanship, he was the main force of the main attacking team!

In the end the tiger was beaten to death. You can ask him what happened!

I haven’t seen him for almost a year. This old guy is not a decent person. If he can come tomorrow, you have to give him a few more glasses of wine for me!”

Old friends are old friends. Even though their words may sound harsh, their tone and attitude are still quite expectant.

Uncle Zhao originally had few friends, and Uncle Chen was probably one of his few friends.

“Okay, then I’ll go and invite Mr. Chen early tomorrow morning!”

……

When talking about old friends, Uncle Zhao started to talk a lot about the times when he and his buddies went hunting in the mountains together when they were young.

Before he knew it, it was past nine o’clock in the evening. The old man was tired, so Yue Feng put on his coat, took a walk in the yard, closed the gate, and checked the dog and other livestock. After making sure there were no omissions and problems, he returned to the house, took off his clothes, and got on the kang, where he soon fell asleep.

The next morning, Yue Feng served Uncle Zhao and his family breakfast. He then rode his bicycle out early and headed straight for Uncle Chen’s house.

According to the Chen family’s plan to visit relatives in previous years, Uncle Chen was supposed to be the visitor at home today, but Yue Feng came early in the morning and mentioned that he wanted to ask Uncle Chen about the tiger hunting incident that year, and conveyed Uncle Zhao’s request to drink with him and reminisce about the past.

The old man had always attached great importance to Yue Feng. After listening to Yue Feng’s words, he went straight to the new house without even stuttering, called his son over, and briefly explained the matters of entertaining guests during the day.

After arranging matters at home, Uncle Chen picked up his vinyl bag, filled it with canned snacks and other things, and followed Yue Feng back home.

In the yard, Uncle Zhao was strolling leisurely with the iron-backed red eagle. When he heard the noise on the street, he quickly walked a few steps and pushed open the gate of the yard. After seeing Uncle Chen riding a bicycle, Uncle Zhao shouted, “Good boy Chen Erguai! I have been recuperating at Xiaofeng’s house for so long, and you son of a bitch, why don’t you come to see me!”

Hearing his good friend from his youth calling him by his nickname, Uncle Chen was slightly startled, but soon he smiled and said, “I’m still looking at you, why the hell don’t you go look at me!
It’s just a few flesh wounds, why are you being so hypocritical? !

While Xiaofeng is not at home, you are trying to bring disaster to my nephew’s Red Eagle!”

Soon, Uncle Chen jumped out of the car, stopped the car at the door, and stood in front of Uncle Zhao with a red face.

He stretched out his hand to hit the other person’s shoulder, but Yue Feng quickly grabbed him.

“No! Uncle Chen, please don’t do that! My uncle Zhao had more than a hundred stitches on his chest, and the wound has just closed and hasn’t healed yet!
This is my fault. I was afraid you would worry, so I didn’t dare to tell you the truth when I went to your house before the Lunar New Year! “

When he heard that more than a hundred stitches were needed, Mr. Chen’s face suddenly changed: “You kid, why didn’t you tell me such a big thing?
I thought it was just a normal flesh wound, come in quickly, I’ll take a look at what’s going on!”

Seeing his old brother so anxious, Uncle Zhao felt much more balanced. He patted his chest and said nonchalantly, “I’m not a sickly person like you. I’m in good health.

The line has been pulled out a long time ago, and it will be fully recovered in a few days and will be full of energy when going up the mountain again!”

“Alright, sir, let’s stop bickering. It’s really cold outside. Let’s go inside and talk slowly. I’ll hold the eagle for you!”

After Yue Feng’s persuasion, the two old children finally went into the house.

Hearing that Uncle Chen was coming, Yue Lei and Meng Yulan also came out from the house to greet him.

After all, the elders of the recognized child have come, and as the head of the family I still take it very seriously.

Leaving aside the pleasantries and polite conversations, Uncle Chen was dealing with the polite words with a worried look on his face.

After drinking a few cups of tea, he couldn’t help it and took Uncle Zhao to the west room where Yue Feng was sleeping. He immediately lifted up Uncle Zhao’s clothes to check his specific injuries.

When seeing the three huge wounds on the old man’s chest that looked like bloody centipedes, Uncle Chen’s breathing became noticeably faster.

“Damn! When I get back I’ll gather my men and go up the mountain to kill the tiger that hurt you to avenge you!” Uncle Chen said, panting.

“It’s okay. It just looks a little serious, but it’s actually not that serious! Just take care of it for a few days, and I’ll be almost fully recovered before the spring thaw comes!”

Uncle Zhao felt a little uncomfortable seeing how agitated Old Chen was, so he tried to persuade him in a gentle tone.

“After you recover from your injury, will you go back to live in that shabby cellar on the mountain? No, just come back to my home with me!
We have been together since we were young, and now we are old. Your family doesn’t care about you, but I do. As long as I have food and drink, you won’t be missing out!” Uncle Chen continued.

After saying this, Uncle Zhao was stunned, then smiled and shook his head.

Yue Feng took the opportunity to say: “Uncle Chen, don’t worry. I have discussed with Uncle Zhao that he will not return to Woniushan. I will take care of him in his old age!

When spring comes, I will build a mink farm and a deer farm in the mountains. When Uncle Zhao goes there, I will take care of him!”

“What Xiaofeng said is true, do you agree?” Old Chen turned his head and looked at Uncle Zhao.

“Yeah! It’s not convenient over there on Woniu Mountain either. The mink farm on the mountain is close to Chaiji Road, so it’s more convenient to go up and down the mountain!
Xiao Feng is in charge of me, and from now on he will be my last disciple, Zhao!” Uncle Zhao said without hesitation.

“That’s great! Xiaofeng is a kind kid, I think this is a good idea! Just for this, we must drink two taels of wine at noon!!”

“Don’t rush to eat or drink!
Have you heard about the tiger that came down the mountain from Kaoshantun the night before last and injured someone and dragged away an old ox?
First help Xiaofeng figure out how to fight this tiger! ! “

Uncle Zhao immediately changed the topic to the incident of the tiger coming down the mountain that had caused a lot of controversy in the past two days.

“I did hear the news, but my eldest son disagrees with me joining in the fun, and I’ve let it go. I’m old now and I don’t want to talk about these things anymore!

Damn it, from what you said, Xiao Feng also wants to test this tiger coming down the mountain? ? “Old Master Chen turned his head and looked at Yue Feng.

Yue Feng grinned and said: “Which hunter who goes up the mountain doesn’t dream of killing a tiger with his own hands?

Besides, this tiger injured Uncle Zhao and killed his jackal gang! If possible, I have to avenge him!

Following the crowd and going up the mountain to hunt tigers is just making wedding clothes for others. I don’t want to do it. If possible, I would rather we do the work quietly and get the benefits ourselves!

Uncle Chen, I heard from Uncle Zhao that when you were young, you followed a hunting team to hunt tigers.

How do you think we should fight this tiger?”
