"Brother Gatou, what happened? It's nothing. What does my father-in-law want to see me for?"
“I’m not sure about the details, but it seems someone from the county public security bureau came.
I have received the letter, but I have other things to do, so hurry up."
When Zhuzi heard this, he suddenly felt uneasy:
"Brother, could it be that you beat up Scar's guy that day and they reported you to the county public security bureau?
No, I want to go with you. If we want to catch them, we can catch them together."
Li Yuemin waved his hand:
"Second brother, you need to change your impetuous temper. Don't jump to conclusions before you fully understand what's going on.
Let's go and have a look. Even if something happens, we are not afraid.
I still don't believe it, how can they say black is white? "
...
...
After Li Yuemin finished speaking, he asked Li Yuejin to take Hu Zi to look after the house, and he and Zhuzi walked towards the brigade headquarters.
The brigade headquarters was at the east end of the village, and his home was at the west end, with a long distance between them.
Li Yuemin saw a large jeep parked in front of the brigade office from a distance.
As far as he knew, only the director of the county public security bureau, Zhao Chu, and the deputy director, Guo Yi, were qualified to ride in this car.
He couldn't help but frowned, looked at Zhuzi, and walked into the brigade headquarters.
The brigade headquarters also had a kang, on which was a small table with tea on it.
His father-in-law Zhang Wanshan sat on the left, and on the right was the village secretary Wang Jiguang. The man in the middle was unknown. Judging from his attire and demeanor, he must be Director Zhao.
But the strange thing is that he was not wearing the police uniform today.
Sitting next to him was a man in his fifties or sixties, with a thick bandage wrapped around his head, revealing only a pair of red and swollen eyes from crying.
As soon as Li Yuemin stepped into the door, Zhang Wanshan said enthusiastically to Director Zhao:
"Director Zhao, this is my son-in-law Li Yuemin. He is now the mountain guard of our village.
The guy next to him is the former mountain guard Zhuzi, whose arm was bitten off by a black bear. It was my son-in-law who went up the mountain and killed the black bear. "
"Yes, Director Zhao, Li Yuemin is now the great hero of our Hongqi Village.
Yesterday, more than a dozen wild wolves broke into my nephew's house, and he killed them all without any effort."
Director Zhao looked up at Li Yuemin, nodded approvingly, and asked:
"Yeah, not bad. You look like you've been a soldier?"
Li Yuemin shook his head:
“No.”
"Son-in-law, Zhuzi, both of you, don't stand there, come and sit down."
Father-in-law Zhang Wanshan pulled Li Yuemin to sit on the edge of the kang:
"Son-in-law, Director Zhao came here today to ask for your help in a personal capacity. Please don't be shy."
"Looking for my help? Father-in-law, I'm just a mountain guard. How can I help Director Zhao?"
"Young man, don't say that. I'm looking for you, the mountain guard!"
After saying that, Director Zhao pointed to the man next to him and introduced him:
"This is my elder brother Zhao Dahan, from Shangkangou. Like you, he is also a mountain guard.
A few days ago, he took my eldest nephew and second nephew into the mountains to open a warehouse but failed.
As a result, my eldest nephew was killed by a blind bear, and my second nephew was lucky enough to survive, but he became a half-human.
They found me overnight and insisted that I avenge them.
You said, I am good at catching thieves and handling cases, but it is the first time for a blind bear hunter to marry a young lady.
I can't use the county police force to handle my personal affairs, so I have no choice but to come to your village for help."
After listening to this, Li Yuemin finally understood the purpose of the Public Security Bureau Chief's visit. It turned out that he wanted him to go into the mountains to hunt bears and avenge his two nephews.
Since they had come to me for help, there was no reason for me to refuse, so I nodded and said:
“Thank you Director Zhao for your respect, but Shangkangou is far away from our village, and we don’t know the range of the bear’s activities.
Even if I am willing to help, I can't do it without someone to lead the way."
"Young man, that blind bear ate my son, so he must have gone back to his tree hole to sleep.
As long as you are willing to help me, I will risk my life to go into the mountains with you again."
Zhao Dahan said with a face full of grief and indignation.
"Young man, I don't want you to do this for nothing.
You keep these two thousand dollars! I'll buy the bear no matter how many pounds it weighs.
If you are unlucky enough to meet with any misfortune, this money will be my compensation."
Director Zhao was afraid that Li Yuemin would not agree, so he took out a stack of money from his briefcase and slammed it on the table.
"Director Zhao, I can sell you the bear, but you can't take the money now. After all, my father-in-law and Secretary Wang are also involved.
Besides, as long as I agree to help, there will be no such thing as "unexpected events."
Li Yuemin pushed the money back and said firmly.
In fact, the reason why Li Yuemin said this is not to brag, but based on his own strength.
Anyone who has worked as a mountain ranger knows that when a bear hibernates it is called "squatting" and when a bear breaks out of hibernation it is called "opening".
All you need to do is throw a whip into the tree hole where the beast is sleeping to wake it up. When it pokes its head out of the tree hole in anger,
Use a gun and knife to clamp the blind bear's neck from both sides, then shoot it in the head, and you're done.
This was much easier than the last time he had killed the bear.
"Well done, I admire you!
But you have to accept this money, otherwise I'm really afraid that you will regret it at the last minute."
"In that case, I will respectfully obey your command."
When Li Yuemin heard this, there was no reason to be polite anymore and he took the money and put it in his pocket.
When Director Zhao saw that he accepted it, he felt relieved and asked:
"So, when can we go into the mountains?"
"We? Director Zhao, you're not going to go into the mountains with my son-in-law, are you?"
Zhang Wanshan asked in surprise.
“I didn’t think so before, but after hearing your son-in-law’s tone just now, I changed my mind.
I want to see with my own eyes how this famous hero in the surrounding villages opens a warehouse. "
Li Yuemin saw that Director Zhao was still very competitive, so he neither agreed nor refused. Instead, he smiled faintly and asked Zhao Dahan:
"Uncle Zhao, can you tell me how you and your two sons failed in opening a position?"
Mentioning that horrible memory, Zhao Dahan couldn't help but tremble all over, holding back tears and saying:
"If anything happened to the kids, it's all my fault.
My oldest son, Dahan, has been living with me in the mountains since he was young and has acquired good hunting skills.
Although my youngest son Erhan also went into the mountains with me, he only hunted small animals such as roe deer and martens.
That day, Dahan found a bear stork deep in the woods and wanted to take his neighbor Shengzi with him, but Erhan insisted on going with him.
I thought that since I had five or six hunting dogs with me, it shouldn't be a big problem, so I agreed.
At that time, the three of us had a good plan. Dahan and Erhan were responsible for strangling the bear's neck, and I was responsible for shooting it in the head.
Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, Erhanzi suddenly lost his temper. He was so flustered that he didn't throw the lit firecrackers into the tree hole.
As a result, the blind bear was awakened by the shock and became furious. He smashed the dead tree hole below the cave entrance with one palm and crawled out.
Let’s not talk about what happened next, alas! ”
When Zhao Dahan said this, he had already burst into tears.
"That's not right, Uncle Zhao. Even if the blind bear catches you off guard, you still have five or six hunting dogs to buy you time, so you can kill it with one shot.
Even if the shot missed, that beast wouldn't take advantage of him.
Didn't you go into the mountains without a gun?"
