The car stopped by the roadside, and the three men got out. Zhang Yuanmin walked in front, holding a long, black cloth-wrapped bundle passed down through his family. The shovels and pickaxes he had brought from home were shouldered by Zhao Jun and Jie Chen.
Arriving at the badger's den, Zhang Yuanmin sat down under a large tree. He stood the long, black cloth bundle upright beside him and said to Zhao Jun and Jie Chen, "Brothers, spread out to the left and right. Find the badger's other entrances and seal them up!"
Hearing Zhang Yuanmin's words, Zhao Jun knew he must have been doing a lot of reading lately. But since he was used to being around Li Baoyu, he was already accustomed to it. He didn't say much, just took Jie Chen to search the area, moving rocks to block the badger's other two entrances.
When Zhao Jun and Jie Chen returned, Zhang Yuanmin finally got up and led them to the south-facing entrance.
