The return of Zhang Zhan's father and son suddenly made the old Zhang family in Laoshu Village a sensation. In fact, Zhang Zhan's father is not only his eldest brother's relatives here, Zhang Zhan's grandfather's generation still has brothers. And those brothers took wives and had sons, and sons begat grandchildren, and grandsons took wives. Therefore, with a population of seventy-seven eighty-eight, the Lao Zhang family is also a big family in Laoshu Village, accounting for almost a quarter of the population of Laoshu Village.

Of course, those relatives are all distant relatives, and only Uncle Zhang Zhan's family is the real relative. Zhang Zhan's father rarely comes back once a year, and Zhang Zhan has not been here for more than ten years. So this time, the return of their father and son made the people of the Zhang family in Laoshu Village extremely happy.

Zhang Zhan's uncle held a feast that night to entertain his younger brother who rarely came back and his nephew, who was even more rare. Other relatives of the old Zhang family also came to visit. Zhang Zhan's father took out the things he brought back with a large bag and a small bag, and each relative gave a gift.

Zhang Zhan naturally didn't know these relatives at all, so since he entered this village, he pretended to be very shy and tried not to talk as much as possible to avoid making mistakes. Fortunately, his brother hadn't been here for a long time, and most of the relatives in the village didn't know or were familiar with it, and no one would find it strange.

And while Zhang Zhan is pretending to be shy, he is also carefully observing and remembering. Uncle is naturally the best to recognize, because as soon as he arrived home, his father talked to him. This is an old man about sixty years old, with dark skin and a face full of vicissitudes. One right leg, still slightly lame.

Then there is the uncle's wife, Zhang Zhan's aunt, a woman who looks older than the uncle, with gray hair, short and small body, and extremely ordinary appearance.

In addition, the uncle has three children, and all three are sons. The eldest works as a farmer and takes care of his parents, the second has a job in Shanxia County, and the third has gone to work in a southern city. The three sons are all married. The oldest is thirty-four years old, and the youngest is one year older than Zhang Zhan.

The banquet that night made Zhang Zhan feast on his mouth. Because the dishes served in the mountain village are all natural and pollution-free good things, and there are several kinds of game among them, which are difficult to eat in the city.

So Zhang Zhan was very curious, and secretly asked his father during the meal. My father said that this was normal in the mountains, and that almost all the villagers in Laoshu Village used to hunt for a living. Later, when the country did not allow the hunting of wild animals, it began to turn to agriculture or other production. However, the centuries-old hunting habit is still difficult to change, and every household in the village still has to go into the mountains from time to time to collect some game to improve their lives or exchange for something.

Zhang Zhan asked if this was obviously illegal, didn't the government care?

Zhang Zhan's father said with a smile that this is indeed illegal and wrong. But the customs here are so hard to change. Besides, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, as long as it is not too out of line, the government does not have so much energy to control the mountain people. The person in charge of Laoshu Village is the secretary of the village party committee, but the secretary is hunting at home, how can he manage others?

In fact, Zhang Zhan's father is a good person who abides by the law, and he will hate it when he sees ordinary illegal and criminal things. But he grew up in the mountains, and he was used to hunting, and he didn't think it was a big deal. In addition, almost every household in the mountains is like this, and everyone is from the village, so I can't talk about them.

But after Zhang Zhan heard this, he felt a little itchy. Although he is tired of being a killer, he is still a man after all. As long as it's a man, there's no one who doesn't like hunting.

So Zhang Zhan thought to himself, it's okay to come here anyway, if he can, it's not bad to try the fun of hunting. I just don't know if Lu Dao, with his killer skills, is he just as good and clever when he hunts?

After dinner, Zhang Zhan's father continued to drink tea and chat with his eldest brother. Zhang Zhan had nothing to do on the side, so the uncle asked his eldest son to take Zhang Zhan Zhan around to see the scenery and scenery in the mountains.

At first, of course, let's take a look at the situation in the village. Laoshu Village is not big, and it takes about 20 minutes to walk slowly from the east of the village to the west of the village. There are about 100 families in this village, and each one is a wooden house with a stone fence. There may be nothing else in this mountain, but trees and stones are all over the mountain.

Walking out of the village, what you see is green mountains and green valleys, and the vast forest sea. At this moment, the sun was setting, and in a forest in the distance, three or five unknown birds flew back to the jungle from time to time.

Zhang Zhan looked a little relaxed, and the hardships of the long journey had been swept away at this time. The scenery of this mountain is really beautiful and wonderful. It's nice to be able to stay here for a while.

The uncle's eldest son's name is Zhang Wei, and while taking Zhang Zhan around, he is also constantly introducing him to the situation in the village and the names of places in the mountains. At this moment, he was standing beside Zhang Zhan, pointing to the distance, and introducing the name and origin of the mountain peak over there. When Zhang Zhan heard this, he suddenly asked him, "Brother Zhang Wei, where do you usually hunt?" ”

Zhang Wei smiled when he heard this, pointed in another direction with his hand, and said: "Generally in those old forests, for example, there is a wild wolf valley over there, there are many wild beasts infested, and it is a good place to hunt." ”

Zhang Zhan was slightly startled when he heard this, and said, "Wild Wolf Valley? Are there any wolves there? ”

Zhang Wei smiled and said, "Where is it, it's long gone." But a few decades ago, there should have been. Earlier, it was infested with wolves, otherwise it wouldn't be called Wolf Valley. ”

Zhang Zhan nodded, and then asked, "Then what other beasts exist in the mountains now?" Well, I'm talking about large beasts, which are more difficult to deal with. ”

Zhang Wei said: "The bigger guy only has a wild boar, right?" It's really not the same as before, and I heard the older generation say that there were many fierce big guys in the mountains. Very early, very early, even tigers had them. It's a pity that they're all extinct now. Not to mention tigers and leopards, even wolves are gone. ”

Saying that, Zhang Zhan's cousin couldn't help but sigh, looking very regretful. Zhang Zhan couldn't help but laugh when he saw it, thinking that if there are tigers and leopards in the mountains, I'm afraid they can't be hunted by you, right? Those guys are fast and ferocious, and if they don't have a weapon with a lot of firepower, it will be extremely dangerous for anyone to encounter it.

And how could an ordinary mountain dweller have a large firepower weapon?

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhan couldn't help but ask again: "Brother Zhang Wei, what weapons do you usually use to hunt?" ”

Zhang Wei smiled when he heard this, looked at this cousin, and said, "I know the truth, you also want to go hunting, right?" It just so happens that I'm going to go tomorrow, so if you're not afraid, then get up early and try it with me. ”
