In the fiftieth round, Li Shencang single-handedly retreated from the group

The day after Huanzi and Deng Shan returned to Shiyinggou, they sent people to Dongbeigou to "step on the plate" to inquire about the current situation of Brother Li Sanye. As a result, I unexpectedly met Yu Guoxing's eldest aunt, Boss Fan. This honest farmer failed to recognize the "informant" of the beard, and mistook the beard for Li Sanye's friend. told Li Sanye's "friend" about going to Haoyao Mountain, and told him that Li Sanye's father lived in the forest in Beigou.

Huan Zi didn't mean to be embarrassed by Li Shencannon, just stepped on the beard of the plate, in the north ditch, saw a hunter from a distance, his marksmanship was very good, and he shot down the pheasants flying in the air one after another, his body was agile, and his figure was similar to Li Sanye. Mistook this sharpshooter for Li Sanye. Go back and report to Huanzi that Li Sanye is in that shack.

Huanzi's men surrounded the old man's shack and quietly entered the fence and approached the door.

A bearded man raised his big axe and slashed down at the door......

There was a "snap" of a gunshot, and the beard with the axe fell to the ground. Li Shencang turned around and ran towards the outside of the forest.

The night was pitch black, and the beard fired more than a dozen shots at the big tree that fired the gun, but there was no reaction from the other side. When Huanzi led people closer there, she didn't find anything.

Dozens of bearded men chased out of the forest and searched around the forest, but to no avail. Huan Zi was scared, and he always felt that Li Sanye's gun was facing him.

That's right, the muzzle of the Li Shen cannon behind a rock not far away has been aimed at the voice that gave the order.

When Huanzi gave the order to his subordinates to search the hillside, the gun went off, and Huanzi fell to the ground on one leg with a gunshot, panting heavily. His hands clutched over the wound on his thigh, hot blood running from between his fingers to the ground.

Beard's gunfire kept ranging, and already Beard rushed to the rock. However, the gunfire stopped, and there was silence and nothing in the rocks. Dozens of beards looked at Huan Zi and Deng Shan, and Deng Shan didn't say a word. Huan Zi wrapped his injured leg with a legging strap, and gave an order: "Pull!" The two beards came up, picked up Huanzi, and fled back to Shiyinggou.

The beard ran away, and Li Shencang's heart did not calm down. This old hunter of the Great Northern Wilderness knows that a catastrophe is coming.

Li Shenpao walked around the hillside every day, slept in the icy and snowy valley at night, and spent the most difficult New Year in his life.

On the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Hu Zi, led by Deng Shan, once again surrounded the small shack of the old man Bayan, and there was no one inside. The old man Bayan's family had already moved into a hidden cave in the mountains with Li Shencano. Deng Shan burned down this small shack and led people out of Beigou.

On the sixth day of the new year, Liang Guozi came to visit the old benefactor. Looking at the burned shack, Zhilu said that Li Shenpao's family was in trouble again, and they were very worried about the benefactor's family. Liang Guozi left, leaving two brothers to continue to inquire about the news of the Li family.

Deng Shan didn't go far, and settled at the foot of Longtou Mountain in a "familiar Kala" (a related family). Every day, the "line leader" is sent into Beigou to find the whereabouts of Li Sanye's family.

Li Shenpao didn't dare to walk out of this cave during the day, nor did he dare to light a fire to cook. Only in the evening, can be. Such days have been held on until the first lunar month.

On a sunny afternoon, Li Shenpao walked out of the cave with the big yellow dog and walked towards the mouth of the ditch. He wanted to go into Tunzi to see his daughter-in-law, and the old man was thinking about his daughter-in-law and his grandson, whom he had not yet met.

The daughter-in-law is almost four months pregnant, and she is still helping her original mother-in-law's family do all kinds of housework. I was very happy with my father-in-law's arrival. Yang Xiuying already knew the news that the shack where her father-in-law lived was burned down, Jinhua and her husband had been to the shack, but they didn't see Li Shencang, and they knew that something was wrong with them. Not seeing her father-in-law for a month really worried her.

Yang Xiuying asked her father-in-law anxiously: "Daddy, do you always have something on your mind?" Did you encounter something difficult? I heard Jinhua say that your shack was burned, what's going on? ”

Li Shenpao didn't want to tell his daughter-in-law what happened a year ago, and he didn't want his children to worry about him. Now I can't hide it, so I have to tell my daughter-in-law what happened. After listening to this, Yang Xiuying really sweated for her father-in-law, and repeatedly told the old man to pay attention to safety.

Li Shenpao threw down the two pheasants he had hit at the mouth of the ditch and left Yu's house. Yang Xiuying brought some salt and rice to her father-in-law, which was a rare "fine grain" at that time.

When Li Shenpao returned to Beigou, he found that the Japanese devil's team had withdrawn from his small earthen house. The old man was happy that his son could come back and the family could live together again, which was what the old man was looking forward to the most. After the little devil's team walked away, he walked into the small earthen house that he had not seen for a long time.

The small clay kang is still there, the cooking pot is still there, and the horse shed is still there. It's just that the stables have been turned into houses for people to live in. There are two large wooden beds in the room, and there is a large stove in the house.

One night, Li Shenpao and Old Man Bayan secretly moved back to this small earthen house and lived a normal life again. Everything that happened here was clearly seen by Deng Shan's beard, and also by Liang Guozi's people.

A few days later, Liang Guozi came to visit the old benefactor. The old man told Liang Guozi what happened a year ago. Liang Guozi knew that this was Huanzi looking for revenge on Li Sanye, and Liang Guozi sent an informant into Haoyao Mountain to find Li Sanye.

Huan Zi and Deng Shan sent people to keep an eye on Li Shencano's small earthen house, patiently waiting for Li Sanye to appear.

At the end of winter in the Great Northern Wilderness, snow is still a frequent visitor.

The goose feathers and heavy snow in the sky decorate the mountains and rocks and trees of the north ditch in silver, and the white north ditch looks particularly mysterious and peaceful under the glow of the moonlight.

Li Shenpao sat in a dimly lit small earthen house, drinking alone to the moon, savoring the concern and loneliness. A pot of old wine went down, and the old man was a little drunk. took out the book of "Acting Birds in the Third World" that had not been touched for a long time from the box, and looked at it again and again by moonlight. Then, lie down with your head and your clothes down. In the middle of the night, the old man got up and picked up the old shotgun and went to the opposite mountain valley to bury his wife and children.

He had been here during the day, and here he had found the dwelling of the bearded "Stringer" (the watchman) ----- a hole in the trunk of an old elm tree.

The old man crept close to the old elm tree and stopped behind a rock not far from it. Li Shencang picked up a handful of snow in his hand and threw it into a ball towards the tree hole, and then, holding a gun, waited for the beard to come out. Sure enough, a beard quietly poked its head out, and after confirming that there was nothing abnormal, it retracted again. Li Shencang then threw another cloud of snow, and the head stretched out again, and this time he did not retract, but climbed out of the tree hole with his gun, jumped to the ground, and circled around a few times. After noticing nothing unusual, he returned to the tree, and as he was about to climb up, a gunshot rang out from behind the opposite rock, and he collapsed.

When the night returned to calm, Li Shencang did not immediately get up and go home, but continued to wait behind the rocks. After an hour or so, another beard crawled out of the hole in the tree, and before he could jump off the tree, he was already killed by Li Shencannon's shot in the tree.

The night was calm again, and Li Shencang returned to the small earthen house with a shotgun. He knew that there were two people living in the hollow of the tree, and he judged by the footprints of the day. However, he miscalculated, and in the evening, another beard came here, and this beard came out of the hole in the tree when the sound of Li Shencannon's snow was far away, and followed him all the way......

Li Shencano, an old hunter in the Great Northern Wilderness, noticed the sound of stepping on snow behind him, and the old man stood in front of the fence for a while, and walked straight into the forest on the back slope. However, the sound of stepping on the snow disappeared after Li Shencang walked into the forest. The old hunter did not find the voice, so he went out of the woods, turned the bend, and came to the little hut where he had lived.

The next morning, Li Shencang found a dead body in the forest on the back hillside, with a knife wound to the neck. This dead body was the bearded "line-pulling" man who followed Li Shenpao last night, and died under Liang Guozi's knife.

Li Shenpao found Jinhua and his husband Fan Boss, and used a carriage to pull some of the daily necessities and food that the old man Bayan's family had to Lao Fan's house. The old man Bayan's family has lived in the lower house of the Jinhua family since then, Li Shenpao settled everything, and after dinner, he led the big yellow dog and carried the old shotgun back to the small earthen house.

In the outhouse of the small earthen house, there is only an iron pot on the pot table and a water tank next to it. On the small clay kang in the back room was a small wooden kang table, a bowl, a pair of chopsticks, an old wine jug and a small white wine cup not much bigger than the "bull's eye beads". Simple daily necessities are placed in a lonely tone, and the silence in the cold room is a little scary.

Li Shencang lit the dry firewood in the stove pit, and the house had a little light, and suddenly there was heat, and the house quickly warmed up. Li Shencang touched the kang head with his hand, and when it was hot, he took off his sheepskin jacket, covered his body, rested his hat and hands on his head, and fell asleep with a shotgun in his arms.

The big yellow dog jumped on the kang, lying beside the owner, raising his head from time to time to listen to the wind outside, and occasionally barking softly a few times.

The night was very long, and it was not yet dawn when Li Shencang woke up. The room was a little cold, so he got up again and stuffed some dry wood into the pit and lit it. A man sat on the kang and lit the dry tobacco in his hand, smoking it and quietly waiting for the arrival of the inescapable danger......
