Chapter 27 The famous "King of Traps" was intercepted by Li Ju'an.
The Mosin-Nagant rifle was a hunting rifle that Li Ju'an had replaced with a black gun and accessories, which he specially bought from the supply and marketing cooperative so that it could be displayed openly.
When Uncle Lu saw the hunting rifle, his eyes widened: "Mosin-Nagant!"
Experienced hunters know the advantages of the Mosin-Nagant; it's incredibly effective at medium to long range, hitting its target with ease. When fully equipped with attachments, the Mosin-Nagant is virtually unerring at medium to long range.
Just as Uncle Lu was about to speak, continuing to boast to the younger generation about his glorious past when he entered the mountains, he suddenly stared intently at Li Ju'an's feet.
The black and yellow Qingchuan dog is incredibly fierce; who else could it be but Da Hu?
Uncle Lu was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses.
This is the treasure that old Tao refuses to let go of, no matter what.
Everyone in the village knew that Old Tao cherished Da Hu like the apple of his eye. Now, Da Hu, who was worth ten dogs, suddenly appeared at Li Ju'an's feet from Old Tao's training kennel, making his head throb and making him think he was seeing a ghost in broad daylight.
The news from the village finally convinced Uncle Lu that the young man from the Li family had indeed hunted a wolf with a hunting rifle and also had a good lead dog!
He had originally entered the Li family's gate with the intention of giving a lecture, to see what good things Li Ju'an had hunted this time, and then to offer some guidance in the tone of a senior. He derives a sense of satisfaction and the exhilaration of being admired from instructing the younger generation. He was just about to speak when he discovered that Li Ju'an had actually hunted down a one-eyed wolf, the one-eyed wolf that had frightened him so much that he hadn't ventured into the mountains for several years.
This is very interesting.
Li Ju'an looked up and saw Uncle Lu's rapidly changing expression, his face turning red and his neck thick with suppressed rage, unable to utter a single word. His complex expression was quite a sight to behold, and he could only cough and choke.
Uncle Lu didn't say a word, and turned and left.
He went directly to the office of the brigade leader, Yang Dezheng, and withdrew the application to hunt wolves that he had submitted years ago. Only after the brigade leader asked him did he find out what had happened.
Squad leader Yang Dezheng felt that the name Li Ju'an sounded familiar. He checked the documents and frowned.
Li Ju'an, wasn't he supposed to be replacing Sun Weimin to help with the hunting? Just a few days ago, the forestry station had asked him whether they wanted Li Ju'an or Sun Weimin to go. And wouldn't you know it, Li Ju'an's name came up again.
"Did the young man from the Li family really beat up the one-eyed wolf?"
Uncle Lu, sticking out his neck, started bluffing, "That's right, that kid was carrying a hunting rifle, the magazine was empty, did he really think he was a gunner? Taking that thing into the mountains, what do you think he could do? But in the end, what did that kid use to kill the wolves? That sharp knife!"
Captain Yang Dezheng recalled the knife Li Ju'an had used to stab Da Gu Gong last time. Who was on the other side? The one-eyed wolf that the hunters from Jiaxing Village had been hunting for years without success. That thing, a knife, could it really stab the one-eyed wolf in the butt? Think the one-eyed wolf couldn't handle it? Forget it.
Yang Dezheng didn't believe it at all, but when he saw the Lu family uncle's bloodshot eyes and his pathetic appearance at being surpassed by the younger generation, he couldn't refute it.
Yang Dezheng made a phone call to the gunner.
"Old Lu, wait here. I'll ask if anyone knows anything about the situation."
The leader of this forestry operation was Old Qin, the "King of Traps" from Changbai Mountain.
Old Qin was a famous hunter in Zhaoshutun, Changbai Mountain. However, he never used a gun when hunting, only wire snares. Even the most cunning foxes could not escape his snares, hence he was known as the "King of Snares".
He was capable and quickly married a local girl. Unfortunately, their happiness was short-lived. His wife suffered a difficult childbirth and bled profusely. By the time the production team's cart took her to the commune clinic, fifty miles away, she had already died. The straw on the cart was soaked with blood.
The lively and cheerful Lao Qin became a taciturn man from then on, vowing never to marry again. However, he became obsessed with hunting in the mountains and needed a capable dog with a head that could "raise its head and snare" (a type of dog). So he traveled a long way to Lijiatun to find "Dog Commander" Lao Tao, hoping to ask Lao Tao for the famous "head-raising snare" dog, Da Hu.
Without saying a word, Dog Commander Lao Tao threw Lao Qin out, telling him to stop daydreaming and trying to take advantage of Da Hu.
Old Qin was a patient man; he actually stayed in the Xingan Mountains and didn't leave.
He was noticed by the forestry leaders because once, a leopard took possession of the roe deer he had lassoed. Unfortunately, the roe deer had a lasso around its neck, and the leopard couldn't get rid of it. Seeing that the leopard dared to eat his prey, he raised his stick to beat it. Little did he know, the leopard wasn't afraid of him. It wasn't afraid of anyone except tigers, and as a result, he beat it to death on the spot with a Shaolin stick.
After settling down in the Xingan Mountains, Lao Qin earned the nickname "Fierce Tyrant." The forestry leaders specifically requested him to be their leader, and they valued him highly.
When Captain Yang Dezheng called Lao Qin, Lao Qin was still pestering Lao Tao for Da Hu.
Old Tao impatiently shouted, "Da Hu has been given away!"
Old Qin, the "Taozi King," had never seen such wide eyes in his life. He remained silent for a long time, thinking that Old Tao was just trying to trick him and get rid of him: "Impossible. You old man, you would never give Big Tiger away."
Old Tao left with the words "Believe it or not" and turned to leave.
Old Qin was bold, but also meticulous. The more he thought about it, the more suspicious he became, so he asked the production team leader he knew at the forest farm. He learned that a young man surnamed Li had indeed visited the Tao family's old house that morning, and had taken a black and yellow Qingchuan dog with him when he left.
At first, the production team leader was reluctant to tell the whole story, but after being harshly reprimanded by Lao Qin, he finally relented and said, "Da Hu has been taken away by Li Ju'an."
boom!
Old Qin felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
He was from Zhaoshutun in Changbai Mountain, and he came to Lijiatun specifically because of Dahu, even settling down there as an outsider. Now, his beloved Taitouxiang Mountain Dog has been taken away without a word. How could he possibly bear it?
Old Qin, nicknamed "King of Traps," clenched his fists tightly and spat out through gritted teeth, "Li Ju'an? Who's that!"
As luck would have it, the squad leader, Yang Dezheng, called at that moment.
Yang Dezheng immediately asked, "Old Qin, do you know about Li Ju'an's matter?"
