There were too many people who were jealous of Zhao Wei and his team's hunting results, so they formed three teams, about 50 people in total, and all went into the woods.
Because the nearby forests had already been cleared, these people walked into the mountains without fear.
It’s a pity that reality is cruel. You go there in a rage and return in disgrace.
From ancient times to the present, it is simply a foolish dream for people without any skills to gain any benefit from the mountains.
Two people died, and in the end only one pheasant and two hares were caught.
The effort and reward are not proportional, it's not worth it at all.
These two short-lived guys were in their prime, with elderly parents and young children to take care of, and were the pillars of the family.
The sky fell, and the family cried loudly, blaming all the families who had encouraged them to go up the mountain.
Human life is of paramount importance and should not be died in vain.
The family members of the deceased demanded justice from the members of the hunting team. They quarreled and cursed, and fought with each other for the whole night. They just wanted these people to be responsible for the funeral of the deceased and also face the problem of supporting his wife, children and the elderly in the future.
This has made the village lively. These hunters are already struggling, and now they have to bear such a debt. Naturally, they are not happy about it.
The final result of the quarrel was that the debt had to be repaid slowly, and three kilograms of coarse grains had to be collected every month as compensation, until the children in the family reached adulthood.
If there are more, even if we force people to death, we won’t be able to get them out.
Zhao Wei stood in the crowd, looking at the result, still feeling a little sad.
Sacrificing two lives for a little meat is too high a price to pay.
Soon, the sounds of suona, gongs and drums were heard in the village. The villagers spontaneously went to help. Zhao Yong also went on behalf of his family.
Since Zhao Wei is a capable laborer and has a lot of things to do, he cannot free himself, so this is the only arrangement.
After this incident, the people in the village gave up the idea of hunting and dared not gamble their lives.
But during the day, the uncle failed to get the gun from Zhao Wei and also broke his head. Naturally, no one was willing to take him up the mountain again, so he escaped.
But this person has no grateful heart. He can't bear to watch others get what he can't get.
So, that night, when the family was getting ready to go to bed, they saw his grandmother and her uncles and cousins coming to the door.
This time, he came to ask for a gun.
Knowing that he could no longer keep the broken gun, Zhao Wei had already anticipated this situation, so he didn't bother to say anything and took out the gun.
The gun originally had some signs of decay, but now it looked like there was nothing wrong with it.
But Zhao Wei had already tampered with the gun barrel, just waiting for the person who played with the gun to reap the consequences.
"I've already used up all the bullets these days. Check the gun yourself and take it away after confirming that there is no problem. I will not be responsible for anything that happens in the future."
The uncle happily pulled the pine needle and said, "I can't see what the problem is. You are a sensible boy. Otherwise... hehe..."
After seeing that he had obtained the gun, the tribesmen did not look kindly towards the people of their family.
"Okay, now that the matter is settled, don't come to me again if you have any problems in the future."
"We are all from the same clan. We should respect and love each other. Making such an ugly scene is not good for the clan."
…
In front of these uncles and aunts, her grandmother was as obedient as an old quail, nodding and bowing, and carefully accompanying them.
Before leaving, he did not argue with Zhao Wei again. After all, after being warned, his behavior became much more restrained.
After Zhao Wei watched them leave, he looked at Zhao Qian who was still lingering around.
"You run so slowly, and you still want to eat meat? Even shit can't keep up with the heat!"
Zhao Qian's face looked a little ugly, as if he was constipated, and he stammered as he explained.
"It's not my fault. My grandma sent me away. I only realized something was wrong when they left."
Gritting his teeth, he said, "At worst, I can find a way to steal it back for you at night..."
Zhao Wei was somewhat surprised at his cousin's behavior. For a bite of food, he would even betray the ancestors of the Zhao family.
Tsk tsk... What a traitor he is. It would be a shame if he wasn't shot!
"Forget it. I don't want to cause any trouble. They are like mad dogs. They will come and bite me if they smell blood. If they knew I had the gun, I would have no chance of survival."
Zhao Wei's words were a bit harsh, and Zhao Qian snorted in dissatisfaction: "You can't say that, grandpa and grandma are still good people, they..."
"Okay, I don't want to listen to your nonsense. If you want to eat meat, you have to exchange it with something useful. This is the principle. Otherwise, you can only leave!"
Zhao Qian was very anxious, his eyes were spinning around, and he kept thinking about what had happened in the past few days, trying to think of anything that would interest Zhao Wei.
Finally, an idea flashed in his mind and he spoke without hesitation.
"My fourth uncle stole three dollars from my grandma last night. I don't know where he is now. He hasn't come back yet. Maybe he wants to take revenge on you."
"All these uncles have been alarmed, and they are preparing to look for someone overnight. Otherwise, do you think they can come in such a complete group in the middle of the night?"
This news actually aroused Zhao Wei's interest.
Zhao Long is not a good person either. If you want to take revenge on the Zhao family, you should start with him, as that will be the most painful.
"Well, since you are still somewhat useful, you wait here."
Zhao Wei took out some leftover meat scraps from dinner, strung them together with three bamboo sticks, grilled them over the fire, rubbed some salt and spices on them, and handed them to Zhao Qian.
It was dimly lit in the yard, and the other party didn't know who he was eating. After swallowing it whole, he wiped his mouth with satisfaction, turned around and left.
After Zhao Wei sneered at his back, he led Wang Caigu over.
"Mom, please take care of Yunxiu and Grandpa at night. I have something to do and can't come back. This family depends on you."
Wang Caigu thought he was going to have a drink and gave him some warnings.
"Son, our family finally has a good life. You can't get carried away just because you have a little money. If you dare to do anything to let your wife down, I will not forgive you."
"Also... that wine is a poison that can penetrate the intestines. You should drink less and don't do anything stupid again!"
Zhao Wei put a hand on his shoulder and said with a playful smile: "I dare not, I have already quit. There are too many things to do at home, so I don't have time to fool around."
Wang Caigu felt uneasy, but she couldn't stop Zhao Wei from leaving, so she could only suppress her unhappiness.
Yunxiu, on the other hand, had gotten used to sleeping in the same bed with Zhao Wei these past few days, and had unknowingly developed some feelings for him.
The bed was suddenly empty and I couldn't fall asleep.
