When Dong Xuebing woke up in the morning, he took out a red envelope from under his pillow. This was a huge sum of money! In this era, a popsicle was 2 cents, and a cream ice cream was only 3 cents.
After Dong Xuebing greeted his parents and ate a few dumplings, his childhood friend Wen Dongjun came to his house.
Wen Dongjun was walking happily in front with a stick of incense in his hand. From time to time, he would light a firecracker and throw it. Feng Yu was not interested at all. He only felt that Wen Dongjun was too childish.
"Dongjun, we have walked around half of the village. Let's go back and play poker with Brother Liang and the rest."
Although there were less than 100 households in the village, Feng Yu could not stand the cold weather and did not want to leave. Especially when he was wearing a cotton-padded jacket and trousers, he missed the thermal underwear and down jackets of his previous life.
"Ok. Let's go to Brother Liang's house."
"Jun Zi, Xiao Yu, what are you two doing later?" A 17 to 18 year old young man walked towards them. Feng Yu narrowed his eyes when he saw him. He had deliberately avoided this young man's house, but the village was too small.
"Brother Chuan, the two of us are going to play poker with Brother Liang. Are you coming? Let's level up."
"Poker can be played anytime. I am going hunting in the afternoon. Are you two coming?" Liu Jichuan invited.
Wen Dongjun's eyes brighten up when he heard hunting. Usually, his father does not allow him to touch a hunting rifle. But during the Lunar New Year, his father will be going out for a visit. He should be able to steal it.
"Go!"
"Not going!"
Wen Dongjun and Feng Yu shouted at the same time. Feng Yu must not let Wen Dongjun go. If he went, he would break a leg and regret for the rest of his life! Thinking back to his previous life, Wen Dongjun slowly lost contact with him. It was because of this hunting incident.
"Xiao Yu, you are not going? That Jun Zi, bring a hunting rifle and come to my house in the afternoon. We will go to the Duck Gully in the north. Even if we can't hit foxes, there should be plenty of pheasants and ducks. I will go back to pack my hunting rifle. Come earlier in the afternoon. "
The moment Liu Jichuan turned around, Feng Yu saw a trace of hatred in Liu Jichuan's eyes. He immediately became vigilant. Could it be that this was not an accident, but a premeditated plan?
After Liu Jichuan left, Wen Dongjun looked at Feng Yu eagerly: "Let's go. We will go together in the afternoon. Didn't you want to touch a hunting rifle?"
"Dongjun, listen to me. Let's play poker and not go hunting. It's not auspicious to hunt during the New Year. "
"It's at this time that there aren't many people. If it was before the new year, many people would have gone, and there would have been no way to get anything. Go, go, it's more fun with more people. " Wen Dongjun's mind was filled with the scene of him returning from a rewarding journey. He wanted to let his father see that he was not only good at shooting house sparrows with an air gun.
"I really don't want to go. You shouldn't go either. You don't usually hang out with Brother Chuan and the others. We aren't very familiar with each other."
"What's wrong with that? We're from the same village. We're not familiar with each other, but we're not strangers. Furthermore, my father is the captain of the village. If his family wants to borrow the village's tractor, they still need my father's approval. "
Feng Yu knew why Liu Jichuan looked at Wen Dongjun with hatred. It was because Wen Dongjun's father, the village captain, Wen Deguang, did not agree to lend the village's tractor to Liu Jichuan's family.
"Dongjun, let's not play poker. Let's go to your house. I'm thirsty. Get me some of your father's good tea leaves. "
"No problem. Let's have some tea leaves at my house later. I will show you my father's hidden hunting rifle. It's a double-barreled shotgun. It's very strong! "
Wen Dongjun kept talking along the way, and Feng Yu nodded his head. In his heart, he was thinking about how to tell Uncle Wen about this.
When they arrived at Wen Dongjun's house, a gust of hot air blew into their faces. Both of them took off their dog skin hats and rabbit skin gloves and threw them on the table. Wen Dongjun went to look for his father's tea leaves.
"Xiao Yu, you are here. Have some sweets. There are pine nuts and melon seeds." Dongjun's mother, Tang Jing, was at home. When she saw Feng Yu, she placed some melon seeds and sweets in front of Feng Yu.
"Happy New Year, Auntie. Where is Uncle Wen?"
"He went to Secretary Zhao's house for New Year's greetings. He will be back in a while."
Feng Yu sat on the chair and casually asked: "Auntie, we met Liu Jichuan just now. His family wants to borrow the village's tractor to open up wastelands outside the dam. Did Uncle Wen agree? "
Tang Jing laughed and shook her head: "No way. The village is not allowed to open up wastelands for private use. But how can the village's tractor be lent to an individual? In the morning, Old Liu came to our house and quarreled with your Uncle Wen. "
Feng Yu's heart sank. So this was the reason. Liu Jichuan purposely brought Dongjun to go hunting because of this. He purposely let Dongjun step on the bear trap, causing one of Dongjun's legs to be crippled. To others, this was just an accident. Even Wen Dongjun himself thought it was an accident. But was this really an accident?
"Come, try this. This is called black tea. Look at the color. Is it red?" Wen Dongjun proudly poured a cup of black tea for Feng Yu. Tang Jing saw this and only smiled.
"Mum, you go to Auntie Wang's house. I will stay here to look after the house. Someone will be coming over to play poker later." Wen Dongjun said.
"Ok. I will go out for New Year's greetings. There are still dumplings in the pot. If you two are hungry, bring them out."
After sending his mother away, Wen Dongjun quickly went under the bed and pulled out a wooden box, a shotgun and a dozen bullets.
"Dongjun, don't go. Didn't you hear what Auntie said? Liu Jichuan's family had quarreled with Uncle Wen just now. I am afraid that Uncle Wen might be up to no good! "Feng Yu stopped Wen Dongjun's hand from reaching for the shotgun. He does not want the tragedy from his previous life to happen again.
"Many people quarrel with my dad. Didn't Grandpa Li beat my dad with his walking stick because of the seeds? What happened after that? When it was time to collect the land, my dad asked someone to collect the land for his family first. Grandpa Li also calmed down quickly. " Wen Dongjun said indifferently. At the same time, he pulled away Feng Yu's hand and took out the shotgun. He took out 6 bullets and stuffed them into his pocket.
"Dongjun, listen to me. Don't go. Liu Jichuan had always been fighting with others in school. I am afraid that he might be up to no good this time."
"Tsk ~ ~ ~ I am afraid of him. What is this in my hand? If he dares to show off in front of me, the gun in my hand is not just for show! "
No matter how Feng Yu tried to persuade him, Dongjun still insisted on going. His reason was that although Liu Jichuan often got into fights, he never uses his weapon. He only uses his fists. Who is afraid of who?
Wen Dongjun looked at the clock on the wall and pulled Feng Yu up: "Ok. It is almost time. You go home. I am going to look for Liu Jichuan."
Feng Yu thought for a while. In his previous life, Liu Jichuan really did not use his gun. Later on, he joined the army and left. If he went with Liu Jichuan, he should be able to help Dongjun avoid the bear trap.
"Wait a minute, Dongjun. I will go with you!"
"Really? I told you that you want to go too. If not, why are you sitting at my house for so long? Hurry up and go home to steal a gun. Remember to be like me. Wrap it in a gunny sack and say that I am going to catch a pheasant. "Wen Dongjun acted as if he had seen through Feng Yu's plan and urged Feng Yu to leave quickly.
Feng Yu sighed and quickly ran home. He hoped that it was really an accident. This time, there will not be any accidents.
