Chapter 88 Dahei and the Marshal



The two left the market and found a place with few people to divide the money.

"The leather sold for 1,800 in total. It's yours."

Chen Wang took out the bundle of 100 Great Unity notes, drew out ten of them, and handed the rest to Chen Dazhuang.

"so much?"

Chen Dazhuang took the money with surprise, put it into his pocket, and looked around.

Chen Wang smiled and said, "It's mainly because of the lynx skin, 1600!"

"Okay, okay. By the way, I sold the five-step snake to Lao Qian yesterday. He gave me ten dollars, so I have to give you five dollars."

Chen Dazhuang suddenly thought of this and took out a five-dollar note from the change he earned from selling meat and handed it to him.

Chen Wang didn't refuse and took the money readily.

"Looking for a place to eat?"

"Okay, you treated me last time, so I'll treat you this time."

"Oh, it doesn't matter, let's go."

Chen Dazhuang put his arm around his shoulder with a smile.

"I have something else to tell you."

Chen Wang told him what Master Wang had told him about the hunting dogs.

"That's great. Where is it? Is it far? Let's just go and buy it."

After listening to this, Chen Dazhuang couldn't wait to speak.

"No hurry, Bailu Village is not far from where we are. We will go back after dinner and go to Bailu Village first."

"Okay, okay."

After a while, the two found a private restaurant.

After the policy change, more and more shops opened in the town. In addition to state-owned restaurants, several cost-effective restaurants also opened.

If you are eating for two people, there is no need to be too particular.

We ordered two side dishes and a tomato and egg soup, two bottles of beer per person, and a large portion of rice.

After drinking beer, we had dinner.

Not a single bit of food was wasted, and all the soup went into our stomach along with the rice.

Chen Wang rushed to pay the bill and spent only two dollars and fifty cents, which was quite a bargain.

After eating and drinking, the two returned. When passing by a fruit stall, Chen Wang bought some apples and oranges, and bought some pork belly at the food station.

After walking for about an hour, the two arrived at Bailu Village.

Meeting a man who was carrying a hoe and going out, Chen Wang went over to him and handed him a cigarette. He then easily found out where the hunter, whose surname was Ma, lived.

Following the eldest brother's instructions, the two quickened their pace and soon found the thatched house that the eldest brother had mentioned.

From a distance, the two saw a man in his fifties or sixties sitting at the door, chopping wood with an axe in his hand.

Not far from the man, two hounds, one brown and black and one black and white, were fighting.

Both dogs were in good spirits. They didn't look very strong, just of medium size, but they were very fast and responsive.

In addition, there was a big yellow dog squatting next to the man with its tongue hanging out. The dog was actually missing one of its front legs.

"Those are two Qingshan dogs, they both look pretty good!"

Chen Dazhuang said excitedly.

Chen Wang stared at the two fighting hounds and nodded.

The Qingshan Dog is a famous mountain hunting dog from a county in Sichuan Province. It is called the Mountain Hunting Dog by the locals. It has strong ability to cooperate in hunting in groups, and has great endurance, speed, a ferocious temperament, and is extremely loyal to its owner.

"That yellow dog is not bad, but its leg is broken."

Chen Wang's eyes fell on the big yellow dog squatting beside its owner and he commented with a look of regret.

"It looks good, what a pity!"

Chen Dazhuang also expressed his agreement.

After getting closer, Chen Wang shouted.

"Uncle!"

The man who heard the shouting looked up and cast a puzzled look at them.

"You are Uncle Ma, right?"

Chen Wang asked with a smile.

The man nodded slightly and asked, "My last name is Ma, what can I do for you?"

"Uncle, this is what happened. I heard about you from Master Wang at the purchasing station. We are also hunters and are short of good hunting dogs. I wanted to come and take a look at some dogs."

Chen Wang answered with a smile on his face, neither humbly nor arrogantly.

The man looked at the two men's faces, pointed at the two Qingshan dogs fighting over there, and said, "The dogs are right there, you can see for yourself."

"We have seen that they are all very good hunting dogs. It can be seen that you are a very good hunter."

Chen Wang said something nice and walked up to hand the fruit and pork belly to the man.

"We just came back from town and brought you something."

"No, no, you can take it away. If you want to buy a dog, just buy the dog. Don't give me these things."

The man waved his hand to refuse, and then said: "I am not a good hunter, I just want to make a living, otherwise, I would not let these dogs protect me from disasters."

Chen Wang could sense the self-blame and disappointment in his tone, and said seriously: "This is not worth much, it's just a token of my appreciation, please accept it!"

"We don't know each other, so there's no reason for me to take your stuff. If you want to buy a dog, just talk. If you insist on giving this to me, then leave!"

The man said with a frown.

"Well, forget it then."

Chen Wang took back the things reluctantly.

He also realized that the old man must be a stubborn person who didn't like to receive favors from others and had a strong sense of self-esteem.

"Uncle, this yellow dog is your chief dog, right?"

Chen Dazhuang looked at the yellow dog squatting obediently beside him and asked with a smile.

When they approached just now, before Chen Wang opened his mouth to call for help, the yellow dog noticed them, and immediately took a posture to meet the enemy, growling.

The old man waved his hand casually, and it squatted back obediently, withdrawing its hostility towards them, but its eyes were still wary of them.
