South to North: A Prison Guard at the Beginning

After staying in Harbin for a day, Yuan Mu took a bus back to Ningyang. There were only five days left before the Chinese New Year.

While you have nothing to do during this period, you should do what you need to do. You never know when the criminal police team may have something to do, maybe even during the New Year, so you have to put down your chopsticks and go to work.

On the evening of February 11, Yuan Mu came to Qin Jun's house carrying a bag of local specialties.

Qin Jun's home is similar to Zhang Meng's, both are cadres' buildings, with two bedrooms and a living room, about 70 square meters in size. There's nothing he can do about it, his level can only afford such a large area, it's all regulated.

As for why Yuan Mu's house is so big, it is because it was left by his parents. There is no comparison. What's more, he lives in a compound while others live in a cadre building, and the treatment is different.

"Oh, Brother Yuan is here!" Yuan Mu stood at the door of Qin Jun's house and knocked. Soon Qin Jun opened the door and greeted Yuan Mu warmly.

"Brother Qin." Yuan Mu smiled and nodded to greet him.

"Come inside quickly."

Yuan Mu nodded, then followed him into the house. Qin Jun led him all the way to the living room.

"Brother, sit down! Yuxia, a guest is coming!" Qin Jun pointed at the sofa with a smile, then shouted towards the kitchen.

Then I saw a young woman in her thirties walking out of the kitchen. She was average looking but had a nice figure.

"Brother, let me introduce you. This is my wife, Liu Yuxia. Wife, this is the celebrity in our police force, the deputy captain of the criminal police team of the Public Security Branch, Yuan Mu!" Qin Jia introduced them to the two men with a smile.

"Hello, sister-in-law!"

"Hello, Comrade Yuan Mu." Liu Yuxia nodded with a smile.

"Brother Qin, I got some local specialties. Let my sister-in-law take them to the kitchen first." Yuan Mu raised the bag in his hand and said.

"Tsk! Look, brother, isn't this unorthodox? Why are you doing this? Take it away!" Qin Jia pretended to be displeased.

"Brother Qin, listen to me, these things didn't cost money. You know, I'm a criminal policeman, so I can't run away. When I went to Linji before, I went to Changbai Mountain. These things all came from the mountain." Yuan Mu waved his hand, then put the bag on the ground and opened it.

"Oh? From the mountain?" Qin Jun became interested upon hearing this and came over immediately. Liu Yuxia next to him was also very interested and looked over here.

"Brother Qin, look, these are all mountain products. And look at this thing. I hunted a blind bear. This is a bear paw, and this is a tiger bone. It's very good for soaking in wine. You can take a look at the rest slowly." Yuan Mu said with a smile.

At this time, Qin Jun and Liu Yuxia were both stunned. Many people in their family had given gifts, but this was the first time they had received such things.

"Brother, you are really a man of great skill and courage. You dare to provoke a blind bear and a tiger?"

"Hey! There's nothing I can do if I encounter it. If I don't kill it, it will probably kill me."

"Okay, if you give me anything else today I definitely won't accept it, but if you give me this, I'll be disrespectful to refuse it." Qin Jun laughed.

"Wife, take it to the kitchen and freeze it quickly. Then we can taste what these tigers and bears taste like."

"Okay, then you guys chat first, we'll have dinner soon." Liu Yuxia walked into the kitchen carrying a bag with a smile on her face.

"Hey, brother, are the tiger meat and bear meat delicious?" Qin Jun asked curiously.

"Brother Qin, the reason why I didn't give you more is that the meat is really not tasty, especially the tiger meat, which is really smelly, dry, hard and has a fishy smell. But bear meat is okay. You and sister-in-law can try it first. If you like it, I'll give you more." Yuan Mu said with a smile.

"Okay, then your sister-in-law and I will have to try them. Oh, by the way, how did you bring such big bears and tigers back from Changbai Mountain?" Qin Jun wondered.

"Hey! How could I bring all of it back? I only brought back a part of it, and I had to bury the rest on the mountain. But I brought back the important parts." Yuan Mu waved his hand.

"Brother, I heard that tiger penis is quite aphrodisiac..." Qin Jun hesitated to speak.

Yuan Mu was stunned when he heard this. It seemed that Qin Jun had something to hide. That couldn't be possible. How old was Qin Jun?

Yuan Mu glanced at the kitchen and saw Liu Yuxia was still cooking, so he turned around and looked at Qin Jun and spoke in a low voice.

"Brother Qin, you are in that aspect..."

"Brother, I told you this today because I saw you bring the tiger bone. Otherwise, it would be hard for me to talk about this. It's not that I can't do it, but your sister-in-law and I haven't had children for so many years."

"Your sister-in-law went to the hospital for a check-up before, and it's not her problem. Then I think it seems to be my problem. But you also know, if people knew about my position..." Qin Jia looked embarrassed.

"I've been to the countryside before, and an old doctor gave me a prescription. The other ingredients are easy to find, but where can I get the tiger penis? I thought, if the tiger you hunted is a male, then you can give me the tiger penis. Don't worry, brother, I won't hesitate to pay the price!"

"Tsk! Brother Qin, you are slapping me in the face. Why are you asking for money? I didn't spend any money to get it. Just take it if you need it!" Yuan Mu waved his hand.

"That's impossible. To put it bluntly, you worked hard to get all this. How can I let you suffer any loss? No, absolutely not!" Qin Jun was firm in his attitude and insisted on paying.

"Brother Qin, if you are like this, I can't eat today. Are you going to chase me away?" Yuan Mu pretended to stand up.

"Hey, brother, look at what you are doing!" Qin Jun quickly grabbed Yuan Mu.

"Okay, then just take it for me!" Qin Jun said helplessly.

"Hey, that's right. It doesn't matter what the money is." Yuan Mu nodded with satisfaction, then sat down again.

Qin Jun shook his head. He accepted the favor. Who made him need this thing?

"By the way, brother, I heard that you are going to take the college entrance examination next year?" Qin Jun picked up the cigarette on the table and handed it to Yuan Mu and asked.

"Yes, you should go to college. After all, having a degree will be good in the future." Yuan Mu took the cigarette, lit it for Qin Jun first and then for himself.

"What will you do with the three or four years of college? In the officialdom, you are always slow."

Yuan Mu knew that people nowadays generally have this kind of thinking. In this era, the importance of academic qualifications has not yet been reflected, but it will be reflected in the future. Now that he has this identity, he can be promoted to a higher level when he returns.

What a concept! It may take an ordinary person a lifetime to be promoted from a deputy section chief to a full section chief, and by the time he retires he may not even be able to reach the full section chief level. But as long as Yuan Mu has this status, his rank can be raised immediately.
