Chapter 235 The roe deer hasn't even urinated in the morning yet.
Lin Jiadong winked happily; he knew exactly what Li Ju'an was thinking. Li Ju'an treated him well, always thinking of him when he went to town, bringing him delicious food and fun things. Lin Jiadong secretly hoped that Li Ju'an could become his brother-in-law. He ran to the backyard, shouting loudly for his mother, pestering her to watch his carpentry work. Only then did Lin Mei have time to run to the front gate.
I hadn't seen Lin Mei for a few days. She was wearing an embroidered jacket and looked even more radiant and elegant than before. A native of the Xing'an Mountains, she had an oval face, big eyes, and cherry lips. Even the thick floral jacket couldn't hide her youthful figure.
"Li Ju'an".
Lin Mei's smile was so sweet it melted anyone's heart. Li Ju'an hugged her, removed her hand warmers, and applied face cream to the back of her hand. He applied a thin layer and then spread it evenly.
She smelled the delicate fragrance of the face cream spreading on the back of her hand, and happily spun around in place, her two braids bouncing up and down with her movements, looking incredibly cute.
The young couple missed each other after not seeing each other for a few days. They walked west to the village and found an empty snow shelter. They snuggled together for a while, when suddenly Lin Mei said, "Li Ju'an, I'll go with you. I'll follow you wherever you go."
Li Ju'an chuckled, reached out and tucked a lock of her hair behind her ear, then asked her what had happened.
"It's that driver again. My mom insists I see him, but I don't want to. He even came to my mom's house when I refused to see him. I just want to be with you." She nestled into Li Ju'an's arms, her soft voice tinged with grievance.
Li Ju'an hugged her, kissed her, and said, "Xu Da? Don't worry, he won't have a chance to think about these things for the next three months."
Lin Mei was surprised; how did Li Ju'an know about Xu Da? The two lingered for a while longer before he escorted Lin Mei back to the Lin family home.
Li Ju'an knew where Xu Da lived in the county town. In his previous life, Xu Da bought his wedding house near the train station and abused Lin Mei, even punching and kicking her. Li Ju'an helped Lin Mei vent her anger and was even sent to the police station. This time, without saying a word, he called Wangxingtun and asked for Zhang Fengzi. Zhang Fengzi reluctantly returned the call, thinking someone was causing trouble, but when he heard there was work to be done, his eyes lit up with excitement.
"Don't worry, brother, you can go out and ask around about our strength in the village. We're good at collecting debts and getting money. As for beating people up, forget about it, leave it to us. As long as the money is right, we can beat them up a few times, and they'll be unable to walk for three months."
Zhang the Madman had suffered setbacks one after another these past few days; the tickets he'd collected through his moneylenders had all been snatched away, and Li Ju'an had also dampened his arrogance considerably. When he heard someone offer 100 yuan for them to beat someone up, he was incredibly excited, but he still managed to clear his throat and raise the price: "Boss, 100 yuan is too little, we can't do it. It has to be at least 120 yuan. And you have to pay a deposit first. Tickets, tickets will do, tickets can be used as collateral."
Zhang Fengzi hung up the phone and excitedly called over his three brothers, rubbing their hands together: "Big job! A boss is offering 120 yuan. Brothers, come with me, let's get this done."
The three brothers asked, "Brother Zhang, do you know who this boss is?"
"Know nothing! Whoever's on the other end, just keep your head down and get to work. Refusing money is stupid!"
Li Ju'an first paid half the deposit. He then took out some grain coupons and meat coupons from his drawer, rode a dog sled to Wangxing Village, and buried the coupons in the snow at the village entrance. These grain coupons were the ones he and Lu Zhiqiang had taken from Zhang Fengzi when they beat him up last time.
He waited in the distance, watching as Zhang the Madman took the agreed-upon ticket, before finally getting on the dog sled and heading back.
Zhang the Madman took the deposit and boasted to his brothers that the boss was generous and lavish this time, giving them a thick wad of cash. He said that if things went well, they would definitely get their share of the benefits.
The next day, he led his three brothers to the county train station and, following the address, caught Xu Da and gave him a sound beating. This severe beating left Xu Da hospitalized for a hundred days, his injuries requiring constant care. For three months, Xu Da wouldn't be able to harass the Lin family.
The matchmaker even called Xu Da, asking how things were going with the Lin family girl. Xu Da, lifting his leg in a cast, shouted angrily, "Which bastard barged in and started hitting me? I'll get my hands on him after I recover! I can't stand this humiliation!"
No matter how angry or aggrieved he was, he couldn't find out who had hit him, so he could only swallow his anger and feel incredibly frustrated.
After finishing his business, Zhang Fengzi happily ran to the commune to wait for a call. Li Ju'an called the next day. Zhang Fengzi was delighted to hear that the remaining coupons had been delivered to the usual spot at the village entrance, and he could simply go and collect them. He excitedly led his men to dig in the snow near the rocky cliff at the village entrance, and sure enough, they found a large oil paper package. Inside the package were bundles of grain coupons, oil coupons, vegetable coupons, meat coupons…
The brothers were grinning from ear to ear, when suddenly Zhang Fengzi's face darkened, and he said suspiciously, "Something's not right. Something's not right. How can this guy have so many bills? Holy crap, aren't these the bills we brought in last time that got robbed?"
The people who had placed the stamps were stunned, their eyes filled with complex emotions.
……
Li Ju'an called upon Song Desheng and the Lu brothers to go into the mountains.
It was a Saturday, and the weather was fine with no snow. A few people were walking towards the other side of Huolaizi Mountain on wild boar skin skis.
Huolaizi Mountain is located west of Xiaoling Village. It is a gentle slope in the shape of a U, and the soil is brownish-red. When the sun shines on the frozen soil, it turns golden, just like a fiery golden mountain, which is very beautiful.
Lu Zhiqiang exhaled cold air, his breath coming out in white puffs, and said, "Should we go to the deer trail that Li Dong mentioned first, or the bear trail that Sun Weimin mentioned?"
Huolazi Mountain has a ridge with a very unique shape. The highest peak is sparsely wooded, with almost no trees, only shrubs and weeds among the rocks. From a distance, looking up from below, the ridge has two neat rows of rocks, resembling the back of a dinosaur.
There are many shrubs and weeds, which means there are many grass seeds, making it a perfect place for herds of deer to roam freely.
Song Desheng glanced at the time and said, "At this hour, even the roe deer haven't urinated yet."
The roe deer will urinate thoroughly when it wakes up in the morning, and only after it has finished will it wander around looking for food, strolling leisurely in groups. This animal also has a stubborn habit: if it doesn't finish urinating in the morning, it will hold it in and not run away, even if it is startled, it will not turn around and run away until it has finished urinating.
Li Ju'an led his pack of dogs. Da Hu, already smelling the scent in the air, sniffed the air intently. Suddenly, Da Hu barked and led the eight pack dogs in a rush towards the same spot.
Lu Jinyang suddenly asked, "Li Ju'an, didn't you bring ten dogs? Why is one missing?"
Everyone laughed. Lu Zhiqiang said, "How could Tiechui be a dog? She's a tough woman. Even if she's slippery, she won't be afraid of Heixiazi."
At this time, Sun Weimin also assembled a team to go into Huolazi Mountain. He led Old Zhang from the forestry security department and Qin Pao. Qin Pao had abandoned the wolf with broken teeth last time and immediately went to the kennel to buy three hunting dogs. Although the three hunting dogs were not the lead dogs, they were experienced and good helpers, each costing 80 yuan. He planned to take the three dogs on many runs in the mountains and train one of them to be the lead dog; wouldn't that be profitable?
