Siheyuan: I tied a stick and went to the countryside

Chapter 96 Gambling
What a pair of wild mandarin ducks, now it seems that Bang Geng is married to Ma Tun. It is said that Bang Geng and his wife often quarrel and their relationship is not harmonious.

This also allowed Ma Tun to maintain the relationship with Hongxing for a long time. Huang Bin is not a saint, so he ignored this matter and was too lazy to meddle in his family's business.

When I came out tonight, I just wanted to teach the stick a lesson. It is unforgivable that this bastard actually went to complain and wanted to report himself.

Every time it is a stickler looking for trouble, it seems that he has to teach him a profound lesson.

Since Bang Geng is not at home, he will go to stay at Shaqiang's house. Shaqiang's house is in a corner of the village, a little far away from other people's homes. This is also a long-term gambling den in the village.

In fact, the leaders in the village also knew about this matter, but they usually turned a blind eye and pretended not to know.

Huang Bin came to the gate of Shaqiang's house, used his mental strength to see that the stick was indeed playing mahjong inside, and waited outside.

Maybe BangGeng was too unlucky today, and he quickly lost the 5 yuan he brought, and came out of Shaqiang's house cursing.

Huang Bin didn't act immediately, but followed behind into the village, and when Bang Geng was about to return home, he took out a sack from the space and placed it directly on Bang Geng's body.

Bang Geng was stunned for a moment, and was kicked down by Huang Bin before he could figure out the situation. He immediately thought of complaining about Huang Bin at home in the past two days, and shouted: "Huang Bin, you villain, how dare you hit me?" ?”

Huang Bin ignored it, and stepped forward to press the hot stick with one knee to prevent it from passing, and then clenched his fists and hit him like raindrops.

The stick was so angry that the sack covered his head and even his arms were covered in it, so he couldn't resist forcefully.

He could only swear and curse, which made Huang Bin very angry. This stick is like a bitch, and he spouts all kinds of swear words.

According to the position of the stick's stinky mouth, the stick couldn't swear immediately, and then Huang Bin heard the stick crying in the sack.

Huang Bin just got up, and kicked Banggen's ass again in a puzzled way, "Next time you dare to find something about me, be careful and catch you on the mountain to feed the wolves."

After Huang Bin left, Bang Geng took off the sack, cried and cursed: "Damn Huang Bin, you wait for me, if you don't kill me, I swear I won't be human."

Huang Bin just took a beating to vent his anger this time, and went back to sleep comfortably, and went to the back mountain after waking up the next day.

It's autumn now, and the fruits on many wild fruit trees on the mountain have already matured. Huang Bin knew that there were several fruit trees before, and today's target is these wild fruits.

After walking not far, I found two Shaguo trees. Shaguo is also called Huahong, and it is also called Begonia in Hebei. It belongs to the same genus of plants as apples. It tastes similar to apples, but it is smaller and less than 5 cm in diameter.

The two trees bore dozens of catties, but many of them were pecked and damaged by birds. Huang Bin could only choose those relatively intact sand fruits to pick.

There are no wild fruits on the mountain that will not be eaten by birds, so it is difficult to find intact ones when receiving the goods. This is the case with pure natural ones. Unlike the ones planted in later generations, they will be covered with breathable bags to ensure that they will not be eaten. Birds and insects peck.

None of the Shaguo harvested weighed twenty catties, but the result was already satisfactory.

Continue to walk towards the mountains, and the herbs encountered along the way will also be picked. Although there are many in the space, they cannot be wasted.

Soon I came to the top of a small hill, looked around, and saw a grape-like plant on the hillside below.

Huang Bin was overjoyed, and came directly to this area. When he came to the front, he saw that it was a piece of mountain grapes.

After picking a batch, continue to move forward. There are harvests everywhere in the mountains in autumn. This time is also relatively coincidental. Generally, children will not go so far into the mountains, and accidents are prone to occur.

The adults are currently rushing to harvest in the production team. They need to wait until the crops in the fields are harvested before going into the mountains in groups.

Huang Bin is currently entering the deep mountain a period of time ahead of them, so there are many fruits everywhere.

Pine cones in the pine forest, walnuts dropped from wild walnut trees, herbs, stick mushrooms, and wild vegetables can be said to be everywhere.

If Huang Bin hadn't had the space, it would have been impossible to have such a big harvest.

Today I didn’t plan to go deep into the mountains, but I just walked to noon, took a short rest after eating, and then changed another road and walked back again.

When I got home, I took some things out of the space to dry.

I thought that after Bang Geng was beaten yesterday, there would be trouble today. When Zhong Yuemin came back to ask, it was calm today, and Bang Geng didn't complain at all.

In this way, as long as the weather is good, Huang Bin will go up the mountain most of the time. At the beginning, he dare not go too deep, but after he gets used to it, he can go there for three to five days, only to find that the deeper he goes, the more things he can find inside.

Every time there is a lot of harvest, there are a lot of pine nuts, walnuts, mushrooms, sand fruits, autumn pears, and wild grapes in the space.

A lot of small animals were also killed, and they were all kept in the space to eat slowly.

Every day, Huang Bin would take out some dried game meat to marinate, and soon a lot of meat was hung on the beams, including hare, pheasant, and wild duck, roe deer, red deer, stick chicken, roe deer, etc.

Finally, at the end of the autumn harvest, when everyone else was tired and lost a few pounds, Huang Bin had already finished picking up the mountain.

At present, a lot of herbal medicines have also been harvested, and even a few ginseng trees have been found, but they are still young, and the longest one is 5-year-old ginseng, which is worthless.

But that herbal medicine is enough for the clinic to use for a year.

After resting for a day, Zhong Yuemin and others couldn't bear it anymore, and went hunting with Huang Bin. Huang Bin shook his head: "I won't go, you guys go, this is enough for me."

If you shoot the gun yourself and send out the people, you will share a share of the prey you kill. There is no need for this. You can lend them the gun and let them go hunting in the mountains.

"Are you busy?" Zhong Yuemin asked.

Huang Bin nodded: "Now that the busy farming season is over, the commune is also bustling with activity. I plan to buy a sheep and feed it back."

"What are you feeding the sheep at this time?"

"When it's winter, kill and eat meat! Mutton is warm and suitable for winter." Huang Bin said with a smile.

"It's still your cow, and you actually thought of buying a sheep to kill and eat."

Zhong Yuemin didn't have much money, so he envied the behavior of a local tyrant like Huang Bin.

In fact, a sheep is not expensive, which is about 60 yuan. An adult ram weighs 80-150 kilograms, and an ewe is smaller and weighs 60-80 kilograms. Lamb is not expensive these days. The clean meat after cooking is 5 cents a catty, and if you buy live sheep directly, it costs less than [-] cents per catty.

However, the bought sheep did not weigh on the scales. Both the buyer and the seller estimated the weight of the sheep, and then negotiated a similar price, as long as both parties agreed.

Huang Bin said: "The reward of 30 yuan for killing wolves is already in my hands. If this is combined with some directly buying a sheep and killing it myself, there is no need to use meat tickets."

This is a way to bypass the meat ticket. To buy meat at the butcher stall in the commune, you must have a meat ticket. The pork ticket can also be used as a beef and mutton ticket, but no one buys beef and mutton instead of fat pork.

Huang Bin killed a sheep directly to save the meat ticket.

It was the day of the festival again, before dawn, Huang Bin came to the yard where the livestock were raised, first smoked for Master Zhou, and after a few chats, he helped to set up the car.

There were a lot of people going to the commune today, and it was almost full soon. At this time, Su Meng was late again, but fortunately, there was still a seat today.

Tied up her hair while trotting: "Wait for me, I'll be fine."

Panting and running to the side of the bullock cart, Su Meng saw that there was only one seat next to Huang Bin, and she hesitated a little, so she didn't get on the cart immediately.

Master Zhou urged: "Why don't you go? Hurry up and get in the car?"

Su Meng then came to the front and jumped, and sat down next to Huang Bin. The seat was relatively small, and she could only be next to Huang Bin tightly, her thighs rubbed against her thighs, and her buttocks were also close together.

Only then did Master Zhou slowly drive the ox cart towards the commune.

Su Meng frowned and sighed. There were men on both sides, so it felt strange to be caught in the middle.

But being with Huang Bin just happened to have a chat.

Question: "Huang Bin, I heard that you went up the mountain and hunted a lot of prey?"

"I got some, but not many." Huang Bin refused when he heard about this, and took out only a small part, just as a sample, so as not to eat the meat in the space later. It seems very abrupt.

Su Meng asked: "Then can you sell me some?"

Huang Bin guessed this before, and was often asked if he could sell some, but he refused.

Without answering Su Meng's question, he asked instead: "I see that Han Chunming and Cheng Jianjun have also gone up the mountain. Why don't you go buy it from them?"

"Tch, everyone knows how to eat by themselves." Su Meng said a little angrily.

Huang Bin didn't say any more, Huang Bin didn't know what happened to Cheng Jianjun, but he knew that Han Chunming wanted to give Su Meng some of the things that Han Chunming occasionally got, and Su Meng didn't appreciate it.

It seems that Su Meng is too selfish. Thinking about her performance in the TV series, Huang Bin is relieved and doesn't bother to talk to this woman.

Su Meng still wanted to buy some meat from Huang Bin, and continued to chat with Huang Bin, but Huang Bin responded without saying a word.

Seeing that Huang Bin was just dealing with it, Su Meng closed her eyes and closed her mouth, shaking with the shaking of the bullock cart.

The speed of the bullock cart was about the same as that of walking, but because of the early departure, it was only after 7 o'clock when we arrived at the commune.

Huang Bin did not go to the animal market first, but first found a place where no one was around, and took out some steamed buns with sliced ​​meat from the space. He finished his breakfast first, and then went to replenish some supplies.

It will snow in October, and the bullock carts will not come by then. If you want to go to the commune, you can only go out, so right now you need to buy more things to store in the space.

I got a lot of bills from Jia Shifa, first I added some seasonings, and then I bought some daily necessities,

When passing by the police station, he sent in a report letter he had prepared earlier. It was not that he had never thought of asking Jia Shifa to catch the gambling, but under such circumstances, the village cadres would not report the matter, and would only report it in the village. solve it directly.

You have to know that if it is public affairs, these village cadres will also be affected by this incident, so generally if something happens, the superiors will not let the superiors know and directly suppress it.

After thinking about it, Huang Bin decided to send the report letter directly to the police station. There were several people playing mahjong and pushing Pai Gow in that stupid room, which was really embarrassing.

Huang Bin decided to let them go to the private room to reflect on themselves.
I felt that it was almost time before I came to the livestock market.

Soon, he set his sights on the two fattest goats. Huang Bin stepped forward and looked at them carefully. As long as they are not sick, they will be fine.

In fact, the animals sold in this animal market are for breeding, and they are all very strong animals, and the ones that are worse are sent to the food station for slaughter.

Huang Bin pointed to the sheep and asked, "How do you sell these two ends?"

Huang Bin plans to buy two sheep directly, one will be kept in the space, and the other will be raised in the yard, and will be slaughtered later when it snows, so that it can be stored for a long time, and there is no problem in eating meat all winter.

The seller was wearing a very clean Chinese tunic suit, and he looked like a leader, so he asked first, "Do you have a letter of introduction?"

Huang Bin took out the letter of introduction that he had prepared in advance, looked at the Chinese tunic suit, and returned it to Huang Bin, saying: "The two ends are the strongest, but they are both rams. Don't you buy ewes?"

Before, Huang Bin only thought about killing meat eaters, and never thought about breeding lambs. If he has the energy, he might as well just buy lambs when the time comes.

Shaking his head: "I just want two rams."

Rams are heavier than ewes, so of course they were bought for the heavy ones.

The Chinese tunic suit didn't say much, and the two gesticulated in the sleeves for a long time. The two sheep cost 160 yuan in total.

Huang Bin knew that he was not the one who bargained for the price, so he happily paid the sheep and took it away.

Now that everything has been bought, the two sheep cannot be transported back by ox cart, so they can only go back on foot. In fact, it is still early, and it is only around nine o'clock in the morning. Even if we walk for two hours, it will be before 12 o'clock. able to go home.

Lead the sheep out of the commune, send both sheep into the space when no one is around, and then walk back empty-handed.

At this time, I miss the bicycle very much. If I have a bicycle, I will go back within half an hour, and it will take two hours to go.

Only a few village cadres in Jinshantun have bicycles, and other villagers and educated youths don't have them. Huang Bin doesn't want to think about such things.

Huang Bin came home before 11 o'clock, tied the big ram to the shed first, and then went into the house to cook.

The addition of an extra sheep to Huang Bin's family did not cause any trouble. The little rabbits had already grown into big rabbits and were eaten.

While cooking in the house, she heard Shi Xiaona shouting on the wall, she came out and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Why is there an extra sheep in your yard? Did you buy it?" Shi Xiaona asked.

"Yes, I bought it and saved it for us to eat the stewed mutton for the Chinese New Year." Huang Bin said with a smile.

Shi Xiaona rolled her eyes, blushed a little, and said angrily, "Who are you and us?"

Then asked: "You buy sheep just to kill and eat meat?"

Huang Bin smiled and said: "Yes, this is a ram and it can't give birth to young. Raising sheep is worse than feeding chickens. We can only kill and eat meat. When the chickens of other people's houses hug their nests during the Chinese New Year, we will raise two hens." chicken."

Shi Xiaona didn't know what suddenly came to her mind, she blushed even more, and asked with some embarrassment: "Huang Bin, let me ask you something, how does the old-age hen lay eggs?"

Wang Bin didn't understand the meaning of Shi Xiaona's question for a while, but thought of another level, and said in surprise: "The hen lays eggs from the backside, haven't you seen it?"

Chickens are not allowed in the city, and Shi Xiaona's family is not short of food. It's normal to have never seen a hen lay an egg, but it's been two or three months since I came to Jinshantun, and I haven't seen a hen lay an egg yet?

"That's not what I asked you. I have seen how a hen lays eggs."

Shi Xiaona asked embarrassingly: "If there are hens at that time, will they not be able to lay eggs without roosters?"

"My mother said that only boys and girls can have babies if they sleep on the same bed. How does a hen lay eggs without a rooster?"

What?
Huang Bin didn't expect Shi Xiaona's question to mean this, so he couldn't help but smiled, and then explained: "Boys and girls can have babies by sleeping in the same bed. A hen is different from a human. Even if there is no rooster, it is still Eggs can be laid, but this kind of eggs cannot hatch chickens, understand?"

Shi Xiaona nodded half-understood, this question is not good to continue discussing with Huang Bin, and asked: "How much does this sheep cost, it will be hard to buy one for me later, right?"

Huang Bin said: "Can you eat so much? This sheep weighs nearly 300 catties, and even if it is slaughtered, it will yield 200 catties of meat. I will just give you some good meat."

Shi Xiaona thought about it and said with a smile: "That's good, then there will be no shortage of meat in winter."

For a bite of meat, Shi Xiaona never blinks an eye when spending money, and has always been very generous.

Huang Bin can get a few dollars a month from her, plus what other people get, there are more than ten dollars a month.

Of course, all kinds of meat were paid, so Huang Bin's reserves have never been too much.

In the police station of the commune, Director Liang looked at the report letter in his hand. The handwriting was really ugly, but he could read the words at that time. Some people gathered in Jinshan Village to gamble, which was really annoying.

After reading it, he handed the report letter to Hu Xuezheng, the deputy director next to him, and said, "Old Hu, we must pay attention to this matter. It is the end of the autumn harvest, and the laborers in all villages and villages are free, and there is some spare money on hand. He knows how to play cards and mahjong, and we want to manage this gambling den to deter others."

Deputy director Hu Xuezheng looked at it and said: "The influence is too bad. We must handle this case solidly and arrest all those involved in gambling."

Director Liang nodded: "Send two comrades to investigate the terrain first, confirm the situation, and then we will formulate an arrest plan."

After discussing the details, the two arranged for two policemen to investigate the situation.

At night, Huang Bin went to Sha Qiang's house to confirm that the stick was still playing mahjong inside. At the same time, Huang Bin also found out that there were two sneaky people hiding in the corner.

Huang Bin was taken aback. Thinking about it, he guessed that his report letter had two effects, which attracted the investigation of the police station.

Fortunately, the detection range next to them was 10 meters, and he didn't meet the two of them face to face. Since he found them in advance, Huang Bin turned around and left.

This stick is a frequent visitor to Sha Qiang's house. He comes to play mahjong almost every night, and this time he will definitely not be able to escape.

He went to work normally the next day. This period of practice allowed Huang Bin to adapt to the work in the clinic. Although it took time, it was cleaner than raising livestock, and the actual workload was much smaller.

At most, three or five people come to see the doctor a day. Huang Bin is just a handyman, helping with injections and medicines, and spends more time reading the "Barefoot Doctor's Handbook".

After two days in a row, Huang Bin still wondered why the people at the police station hadn't moved yet, but he couldn't ask other people to ask about this matter, so he could only be anxious.

That night, Zhong Yuemin and Zheng Tong went up the mountain to shoot some pheasants and squirrels, and invited Huang Bin to drink at night. When it was about to end, he suddenly heard a commotion, and Huang Bin's heart moved, maybe the people from the police station came to catch the bets.

The days are about the same, and the people in the police station can’t have supernatural powers like themselves. Standing outside the wall and sweeping with mental power, they can know what the people inside are doing. If they want to catch gambling, they always have to observe for a few days to confirm how many people there are. Gathering people to gamble in this den, is there a series of questions such as whether there is a mastermind behind the scenes.

You have to figure out everything before you collect the net and arrest.

Huang Bin said: "We've almost finished drinking this wine, why don't we go and see what happened?"

Han Chunming was almost done drinking, he shook his head and said, "Are you unable to drink anymore?"

Huang Bin smiled and said: "You still talk about me, you don't look in the mirror, your face is as red as a monkey's butt, then there is really something going on outside, go and see what's going on."

Zhong Yuemin also heard some noise and nodded: "Something must have happened in the village today, it's better to take a look."

Only then did a few people come out, and now they could be heard clearly. There was a blaze of fire on the edge of the village, and there was a turmoil of people, shouting from time to time, and occasional gunshots.

Huang Bin was a little dumbfounded, this gambler actually fired a gun.

Several people glanced at each other, Zhong Yuemin was the most courageous, and said: "Go and have a look, maybe you can help catch a bad guy."

Huang Bin and Zhong Yuemin took the lead, and the others followed. Quite a few villagers came out of their homes, holding things in their hands to see what was going on.

Soon he came to the front and saw that there were two police officers guarding the gate outside, and there were already many villagers and educated youths who had come earlier standing on the road outside.

Secretary Xiang Chunshan, deputy secretary Jia Shifa, militia captain Xia Dahai and other cadres have all arrived and are talking with Director Liang, but it seems that the faces of the village cadres are a little livid. It seems that this time is a good time for the village cadres A very annoying thing.

Several people came to the captain Wang Kaixuan, Zhong Yuemin asked: "What is this for? Are you arresting spies?"

"How can there be so many spies?"

Wang Kaixuan said: "This yard is a family called Shaqiang. They don't go to work on weekdays. They steal chickens and dogs every day. This time, they gathered a crowd to gamble and were caught by the police at the police station."

"What? Gambling?"

"There are still people doing this in the village?"

Wang Kaixuan smiled and said: "You don't know, don't talk about gambling, there are people who do half-closed business."

"What is a half-closed door?" Han Chunming asked.

Wang Kaixuan glared: "Go, kid, what are you doing asking about this?"

Han Chunming stepped back in embarrassment, and asked Huang Bin in a low voice, "Do you know what it means?"

"You really don't know?" Huang Bin asked back.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have come to ask you?" Han Chunming said confidently.

Huang Bin said in a low voice: "It's just a flesh and blood business, and it's done at home."

"Oh. So it's this." Han Chunming said with some embarrassment.

The village cadres over there talked with Director Liang for a long time. They originally wanted to intercede, and the matter was handed over to the village cadres to handle it. How could they be handed over to Xiang Chunshan if they were directly arrested for gambling.

Director Liang directly rejected Xiang Chunshan's proposal, which made the village cadre's face even more ugly.

At this time, the power of the village cadres is still very large, mainly because there are militias in the village. When the rally horn is sounded, a team of hundreds of people can be pulled out. They have semi-automatic submachine guns and small steel cannons in their hands.

Director Liang said: "This matter has been reported to the leader. It is a very important task right now. You must not be confused about this matter."

Xiang Chunshan has been hesitating in his mind whether to call in all the militiamen and forcibly detain the villagers. The people from the police station went directly into the village to arrest people without first saying hello, which is too shameful for themselves.

After hesitating for a while, I still didn’t do it. It’s not five 60s that made a big fuss. Maybe I will be punished and my son’s business will be delayed, so I finally nodded and said:
"We cooperate with your work."

"Thank you for your support to Secretary Xiang." Director Liang said happily.

After the matter was settled, the public security police were arranged to take the man out of the yard.

The first one to come out was Sha Qiang, followed by some people from the village, and the villagers from Yinshantun next door, and the one who came out behind was Bang Geng.
