In the midst of the noise, Jiang Zihua and Li Jun pressed the two thieves out of the hole. The rest of the people followed, carrying out the stolen items as well.

That's ...... Caught?

While several people were excited, they all felt a little too relaxed. Even Jiang Zihua and the others are like this.

Although after yesterday's attempt, they have high expectations for rhubarb. But it was still unexpected to catch the thief so easily.

In fact, the two thieves were also in a state of confusion.

The older thin man turned his head and kept muttering, "How the hell did you find here?" How could you possibly find out? ”

The reason why they chose to hide here was that they liked that this cliff and ditch was remote enough, and they usually didn't often come even to stop the sheep.

In addition, there are many pits and holes, and you may not be able to find two people when you pass through the ditch.

In fact, if there was no rhubarb, the two guys would have avoided it.

Of course, it's useless to talk about anything now.

"Be honest, don't talk nonsense, squat for me honestly." Officer Lin didn't intend to explain at all, so he directly picked up his weapon and smashed it over.

In these days, there will be no preferential treatment for criminals.

Next, Jiang Zihua asked people to untie the cloth sheet and put the stolen items on the ground to count them one by one.

Boy!

Radio, cigarettes, alcohol, pastries, matches...... The two of them stole quite completely, and basically took what they wanted.

However, because the hiding place was quickly found by Rhubarb, they did not have time to sell the stolen goods.

Except for some food and wine, nothing else was lost. As for the more than 1,000 yuan in cash that was stolen, it was also found from the other party.

The two thieves did not dare to hide the stolen goods, but honestly confessed the crime.

They are real gamblers, because they have lost all their money and go home together, discussing how to get money and continue to fight.

I don't know who mentioned it first: Today's gathering, the supply and marketing cooperatives should have a lot of money, and it would be nice to get some.

Originally, it was a joke, but the two of them took it seriously. So they got an iron strip as a tool for the case, and directly opened the wooden door of the supply and marketing cooperative's store in the middle of the night.

The double wooden doors of this era are not as good as those of later generations, and there will be a certain gap in the middle after closing. According to the regulations, the store department originally needed to wear the door bar and lock the iron chain when locking the door at night.

As a result, the night watchman was lazy and troublesome, and went straight through the door bar, and it was not locked at all.

The two of them just rubbed the outside and inserted the iron thread into the crack of the door, moved it little by little, and finally opened the door bar.

After succeeding, the two thieves did not even dare to return home, and went straight to the mountains to hide overnight. I was going to wait for the limelight to pass before going out to be chic, but it turned out to be a miracle from the sky.

Hearing the end, everyone was a little speechless.

In just two days, the case has been spread to the gods, some people think it is a thief, some speculate that it is a prison guard who steals it, and some people even have bad elements who sabotage.

Who knows, it's as simple as that.

In the final analysis, the night watchman was still careless, and he didn't expect that someone would be so bold and would think about the supply and marketing cooperative's property.

On the way out of the mountain, everyone talked and laughed, and they relaxed a lot.

Officer Lin is familiar with the terrain here, and he also took everyone to take a shortcut.

However, as soon as he walked two or three miles, Rhubarb suddenly lowered his body again and kept sniffing in the wild grass on the side of the road.

Immediately, it signaled to its owner.

Wang Manyin originally thought it was a hare, but after he stepped forward to see it, he hurriedly reminded: "I...... Sun-cowardly, wolf dung, everyone be careful! ”

Hearing this, several people raised their weapons one after another, and then leaned over to the grass to check.

I saw a few lumps of black feces beside the road, and there were also a lot of animal furs, which were obviously left by wild wolves in the mountains.

After seeing it, Officer Lin sighed: "Our Houzitou Commune is close to the mountains, and there are more wild wolves, especially in winter and spring, and they often run outside the mountains to forage for food...... In the spring of this year, he also took away a child from Yushuping Village. We took the dogs into the mountains a few times, but we didn't find the wolf's den. These guys are so good that they can smell people, and they ran away before we could get close. ”

"Now there's rhubarb!" The other spoke eagerly.

Hearing this, the eyes of the rest lit up.

However, Officer Lin looked at Jiang Zihua and Li Jun with some hesitation, and paused before speaking: "Captain Jiang, can you escort them back?" ”

"No problem, it's all handcuffed. Besides, we don't have dry food. Jiang Zihua replied, "The main thing is that we are not familiar with the road, you can send someone to help lead the road and carry things." ”

He usually likes to hunt as well, and if it weren't for the prisoners today, he would have planned to go wolf hunting.

"Then it's decided, Wang Hongtao, you take Captain Jiang and them back......"

Wang Manyin didn't expect that things would suddenly go wrong: he brought rhubarb to catch thieves, but now he has become hunting wild wolves.

However, he was not dissatisfied, seeing that the feces had not been dried by the wind, and had only been pulled for two or three hours at most.

If you let Rhubarb follow it all the way, there is a good chance that you will find the trail of the wild wolf.

After getting the order, Wang Hongtao immediately handed over the weapon: "Brother Manyin, you take the gun." ”

"No, no, I don't know how to shoot." Wang Manyin waved his hand again and again.

"It's okay, you can't learn now, we have wolves in the mountains. If you really do, you can't do it without a guy in your hand......"

Officer Lin spoke again.

"It's full silver, one more gun and more power, you can try it in the morning. There is no man who doesn't like to shoot guns, and if you try it, you will definitely like it. Wang Yanqiang also persuaded.

He wanted to pull Wang Manyin into the militia team, but this guy refused to live or die.

In Wang Yanqiang's opinion, as long as he plays with guns a few times, he will definitely like this feeling.

Wang Manyin suspected that Wang Yanqiang had something to say, but there was no evidence.

When Captain Jiang and the three of them walked away with the thieves, he raised his gun according to the other party's instructions.

Last time, Wang Manyin and Rhubarb cooperated to kill a wild wolf, and they mainly had a seedling gun in hand, plus a coincidence...... It's not always so lucky.

He is not a pedantic person, Officer Lin made it clear just now that there are wolves in the mountains.

So for the sake of safety, Wang Manyin naturally would not refuse.

"Phew!"

There was a deafening bang.

Wang Manyin only felt pain in his arm, slightly numb.

The mood is indescribable, nervous, empty, excited...... It is almost impossible to experience shooting in the later world, but the first shot is completed in this world.

After Wang Yanqiang told a few more precautions, he handed the rifle into Wang Manyin's hands. At his current level of shooting, it is naturally impossible to hit.

But if you have a gun in your hand, you can be brave, and if you are really pounced on by a wild wolf, even if you can't shoot, you can pick it up and smash it.

Next, Rhubarb led the way, followed by the crowd.

Twisting and turning four or five miles away, Rhubarb let out a low whimper again against a cliff ditch in front of him.

"There's movement?" Officer Lin and the others immediately clenched the weapons in their hands.

Along the way, they became more familiar with the movements of rhubarb.

"If nothing else, there should be wild wolves in this ravine." Wang Manyin nodded.

The terrain of Houzitou Commune is similar to that near Guanzi Village, the mountain beams are washed and cut by rain, and the large plateau is basically invisible, and there are almost no big trees and shrubs on the top of the mountain.

Herbivorous animals and birds generally hide in cliffs and ravines to survive.

And here, too, is a habitat for carnivores.

Wang Manyin hunted wild wolves several times before, and basically followed this law.

Wang Yanqiang looked at the surrounding terrain and said, "Why don't you still take the method of blocking at both ends?" There are five of us now, and two of us will guard the cliff and build a fire next to it. The other three with rhubarb from the other end? ”

The wolf hunting method he mentioned was exactly what was verified last time. The only thing that's a bit of a hassle is that the ravine looks longer.

Officer Lin nodded and said, "Okay, according to what you said." ”

In fact, they used to fight wolves, and they also adopted a similar method. It's just that the earth dogs brought are not powerful, and they often pounce in the air.

Although they did not bring a chopping knife, they could use their hands. This ravine is obviously rarely visited, and the artemisia grass and shrubs are very luxuriant.

There is strength in numbers.

In less than half an hour, they had piled up more than a dozen hay bales in the narrow part of the gully.

As the flames ignited, Wang Manyin, Wang Yanqiang, and Officer Lin began to make a detour.

After intercepting the cliff mouth on the other side, the three of them cautiously walked inside with rifles. In this direction, they could see billowing smoke more than a thousand meters away.

Thousands of meters of cliffs and ravines, they walked for almost half an hour. Throughout the process, rhubarb remained on alert.

Seeing that the smoke was getting closer and closer, Officer Lin hesitated a little: "Man Yin, could it be that the wild wolf escaped early?" ”

"I don't know, let's find out when we find out......"

Wang Manyin was replying, when he suddenly heard a crisp gunshot from the opposite side.

After two or three seconds, another voice sounded.

"It's shot, the wolf must have run from that side," Officer Lin suddenly became excited, and then shouted loudly at the opposite side: "Zhang Yonghua, did you hit?!" ”

The reason why he didn't dare to continue to walk forward was mainly because he was afraid that his companions would beat him as a wolf.

After shouting twice, a faint response came from the other side: "Captain, we killed a wild wolf!" ”

"Okay, don't shoot indiscriminately, we're over ...... now"

After receiving the confirmation, the three continued to follow Rhubarb.

Eventually, the two sides converged.

Not far from the cliff pass, under the rocks, they saw the corpse of a wild wolf, and there was a large pool of blood under it.

Zhang Yonghua was full of excitement and told the whole process.

After they had made fires one after another, they lay down on a high place and observed, and soon saw a wolf running towards them.

So, Zhang Yonghua took the lead in shooting......

Due to the distance, this shot did not grasp the advance amount and hit the land next to the wild wolf.

Next, the companion shoots.

The two of them fired three bullets and finally killed this guy.

"The three of us were busy for a long time, so let the two of you pick up the bargain." Officer Lin shook his head helplessly.

He lifted the wolf corpse again, only to find that there was a large hole in the mouth of the bowl on the side. It's a pity, as a result, the price of wolf skins is greatly discounted.

Seeing that it was almost noon, several people did not continue to search in the mountains, but carried the wild wolf in the direction of the commune.

On the way, Officer Lin specially issued an invitation. After a period of time, the Zitou Commune organized a wolf fight, hoping that Wang Manyin and Wang Yanqiang could participate.

Although Wang Yanqiang was moved, he did not say anything.

He is like a mirror in his heart, and he is a match. The main thing is that people take a fancy to rhubarb!

"Let's talk about it then, there may not be time before the year," Wang Manyin didn't say it to death.

When they appeared in the commune carrying the wild wolf, it immediately caused a huge sensation, and many people gathered to watch.

For wild wolves, everyone in Houzitou Commune can be said to hate them so much that they itch their teeth.

As early as when Jiang Zihua and the three returned with thieves and lost property, the director of Houzitou Supply and Marketing Cooperatives asked people to arrange a banquet.

When the wolf corpse was brought back, he even gave a high price of forty yuan on the spot.

The money was divided equally among several people, and even Wang Manyin got a double share...... One of them is the credit of rhubarb.

At the noon wine table, Wang Manyin received a special courtesy.

Despite his repeated refusals, he was toasted one after another, and finally drank seven or eight taels.

But the good thing is that although the head is a little cloudy, the brain is still in charge, and I don't talk nonsense at the wine table.

At the end of the banquet, the director of the supply and marketing cooperatives quietly pulled Wang Manyin to a place where no one was there and handed over a few tickets.

"Brother Wang, Lao Guo and I are acquaintances, thank you so much. A few cloth tickets count my heart......"

His words were filled with gratitude.

If it weren't for Wang Manyin helping to find things, he would definitely not have passed the test easily. At the end of the day, there is a management problem this time. The person on duty was drunk, and he didn't even know that the supply and marketing cooperatives were thieves the whole time.

It is difficult for outsiders to get cloth tickets, but as the director of the supply and marketing cooperative, he has some wealthy tickets in his hands.

Wang Manyin pushed a few times, and when he saw that the other party insisted, he had no choice but to reach out and take it.

On the way back, Wang Yanqiang also tied a thorn basket to the back of the car and let Rhubarb stay inside.

Of course, he didn't dare to ride again, but let Wang Manyin take it.

As for Wang Manyin, he thought that he would drink so much, and he would definitely drink when he was blown by the wind on the way.

As a result, nothing happened.

It seems that after the body is strengthened, even the amount of alcohol has increased a lot.

When he got home, he looked at the amount of the ticket.

One foot and six feet, just enough for an adult to make a set of clothes.

Not long ago, Wang Shouchang came to the door for help. When the time comes, you can give two to express it.

As for the excess, it is better to keep it for your own use.

***

After dividing the potatoes and sweet potatoes, the grain distribution in the jar village has come to an end for the time being.

This year, the second team has already divided more than 200 catties of grain per person, and when the millet corn is processed, it will be divided for the last time.

Next, we can only look forward to the dividend settlement at the end of the year.

Millet can also be spread in the field to be crushed and beaten, and corn is more troublesome.

In these years, there are very few machinery to thresh corn, basically relying on manual buckles, and the most common tool is to wipe with corn.

The so-called corn rub is a small hole with a thumb in the middle of a piece of wood, and a thick nail is wedged into the hole, and the front end of the nail is smashed into a flat shape.

When rubbing corn, push the corn cob on top to remove the kernels.

However, this tool is more dangerous, and you must place your palm between the corn cobs, otherwise it is easy to scratch your fingers.

Of course, people with strength don't have to be so troublesome, just hold two corns and rub them together. The old corn has been loosened, and it is easy to rub the kernels off by rubbing.

Deducting corn is also credited with work points.

And you can take it home as needed, which is very suitable for mothers-in-law and aunts.

But don't think about secretly handing over less corn kernels, because Wang Lianshun has already calculated before the deduction, and it can be roughly determined how many catties of corn kernels can be in a bag of corn cobs.

If you pay less, you will have to deduct work points.

Of course, many mothers-in-law and aunts are willing to stay in the warehouse to work, and everyone is more energetic to talk and laugh together.
