Along with people shouting for help, there is also the angry sound of wild boars.
Li Long felt a little troubled just looking at it.
On the southeastern hillside, less than fifty meters away from where I set the trap, there is a broad-leaved forest. There is a person climbing on the tree now. The tree is a little thinner than a person's waist. Let's take the diameter of the guild. A person climbed to a place more than three meters above the ground, stepping on the crossbar and trying his best to climb up.
Down below, a big sow wild boar was arching the tree. It seemed that she would not stop until the tree was arched.
Looking at that person for a moment, Li Long looked at the location of the trap.
There are no wild boars here anymore. The branches above the pit have been trampled down, and the sound of wild boars can be vaguely heard inside.
Li Long is very happy, it seems that he got stuck in something. Just because that big sow boar would go after the person in the tree?
He walked over and saw a trail of footprints running from the trap to the tree. The footprints in the trap itself are not obvious, but yesterday when Li Long shoveled the ground, some leaked out in that direction. There were footprints and wild boar hoof prints on the soil, and the footprints were more obvious when crossing the creek.
Li Long probably guessed that when the man came to look at the wild boar in the trap, he was discovered by the female wild boar, who mistakenly thought he was the one digging the trap, so he came to dig it.
That female wild boar is very big. She even has tusks. She must have weighed nearly 200 kilograms. She is very fierce!
There were already two trees about ten centimeters in diameter nearby that had been knocked down by it. I don’t know if the man was on the tree before, or if the sow boar thought the tree was in the way.
Did this person think the wild boar was a domestic pig and just blasted it away?
"Help, help!" The man saw Li Long and shouted loudly, "Come and help me! Boss, come and help me!"
Li Long The voice of this man's shout sounded familiar, and when he looked again, it turned out to be the man who exchanged cow's milk for meat yesterday!
The one in tattered clothes.
Li Long immediately understood. This person must have bad intentions. He knew that he was coming to dig a trap, so he came here early to watch, probably because he wanted to take advantage of it, right?
There are kind people these days, and naturally there are also evil and selfish people. Li Long would not be nice to someone so casually. There is some kindness in himself, but at this time, he is not afraid to speculate on others with malice.
But at this time, seeing that the tree was already crumbling, and wondering if the wild boar would not stop falling, Li Long raised his gun and took aim there.
At a distance of fifty meters, Li Long was confident that he could hunt the wild boar, but he had no intention of killing the wild boar. The meat would not taste good if he hunted it. It was too old.
Just these wild boars in the pit are enough for you.
He could tell that there was more than one wild boar in the pit.
"Hurry up and hit my legs." The man looked at Li Long aiming at the wild boar and suddenly shouted, "Aim better, I am here as a bait, this pig is not Run away."
As soon as he shouted, Li Long suddenly put down the gun, turned off the safety, and stopped firing.
What the hell, I originally wanted to save someone, but it turned out that this person didn't look very smart, so I just ignored him.
He walked to the trap and looked down, and then saw two semi-large wild boars in the pit, as well as two small wild boars.
It's just that the little wild boar's head was motionless. I don't know whether it was thrown to death or crushed to death. There was blood in its mouth.
One of the two semi-large wild boars has an injured leg, and the other one is quite energetic, but it is more manic now. After all, the space down there is small, and four more pigs are squeezed into it.
Li Long regretted not driving the tractor over. He thought for a while, turned around and went back. He couldn't get back without driving the tractor over. It would be much more convenient if the tractor was there. After finishing it, I took him home directly.
"Save me, save me!" Seeing that Li Long was about to leave, the man hurriedly shouted, "The most you can do is beat me to death for nothing!"
The female wild boar also watched. When Li Long arrived, he slowed down. Seeing that Li Long couldn't come over, he actually continued to thrust forward.
Li Long will not go there. This wild boar is so big, and now so ferocious, it can't be killed with a single shot, and there's nothing to hide nearby, so I don't have the time to climb a tree!
Staying far away, Li Long aimed at the wild boar and fired a shot. The wild boar was startled, and then ran away.
The man breathed a sigh of relief on the tree and shouted loudly:
"Thank you!"
He said thank you, but in fact he may not think so in his heart . Li Long didn't care so much, he just shouted loudly:
"You'd better not move the wild boar in the trap, otherwise my gun will not be a vegetarian!"
The man really had this idea. Hearing what Li Long said, he really became a little worried.
While hesitating on the tree, Li Long had already run away.
The man thought for a while and thought it would be better to come down first. But as soon as he got off the tree, before he could calm down, he heard angry snorting again!
The sow boar is back!
Are wild boars so smart? He also knows how to fight back! The man was so frightened that he immediately climbed up the tree again, even without the bag!
Li Long is really not worried about this man getting the wild boar away. There are two small wild boars below. This man may not dare to go down. Besides, it will take a lot of effort to get the wild boar up. With that effort, he Bring the tractor back.
Walking quickly and trotting, Li Long returned to the wooden house, took out the shaking handle from the house, took two pots and a few bags, threw them on the tractor bucket, shook the tractor, and was about to leave While there, someone came running over on horseback.
Bolati.
"Hey, Li Long, do you have any wine? I have two kilograms of Fritillaria here. Do you have any wine to exchange for it?"
"Yes." Li Long had no choice but to get off the tractor again. It's not easy to offend the forestry team, so let's waste a few minutes. He opened a small room, took out a cage of three liters of loose wine and handed it over, saying:
"This is full of wine, two kilograms of Fritillaria, more or less." Bulk wine costs less than two yuan. One kilogram.
“So much?” Polati was startled. There must be five or six bottles, right?
"Well, smell it, it's pure grain wine, but don't drink too much, the alcohol content is quite high." The 50-proof bulk wine won't make you drunk, but it will make you intoxicated quickly.
Bolati dismounted, unscrewed the lid, took off the small lid inside, held it in both hands and took a sip, then breathed a sigh of relief:
"Good wine!"
Then he closed the lid and gave Li Long a thumbs up:
"Okay, your good friend! Friend enough! I will ask you to exchange for my mother-in-law in the future. !"
"Okay, I have something to do now, please come back, I have to do something quickly."
"What's the matter?" Li Long's "generousness". This made Polati's favor towards him greatly increase, and he offered to help.
"No, I got a few wild boars with traps. I want to get them back." Li Long said, "If you want to see where these things are later, wild boars, roe deer, red deer, bears, etc., give them to me. Said, the antlers can also be exchanged for wine and food."
"Okay, okay." Bolati nodded, then took the wine and rode away with satisfaction.
Li Long locked the door and drove the tractor over there.
Before Li Long arrived, he heard the harsh and broken "help" sound again.
What's going on?
Li Long saw that the wild boar was still clinging to the tree, and the man was still shouting for help from the tree.
What, is this guy committing a wild boar crime? Didn’t you just scare him away? Why are you back?
But when he heard the sound of the tractor, the wild boar stopped, looked over, and finally turned away.
The people in the tree looked in Li Long's direction. Although they were relieved and a little grateful, they were also ashamed and angry.
He was so scared that he peed.
Just ten or twenty minutes later, the tree was knocked down!
The tree is really going to fall, and this man thinks he will die! The wild boar's tusks must be at least ten centimeters out of its mouth, just like a dagger!
Li Long ignored this guy and drove the tractor to the pit. After turning off the engine, he took out the pot bag, then took a gun and took aim at the edge of the pit, and then shot the two and a half The big wild boar was killed.
After killing him, he immediately went down and brought up two wild boars one after another. Then bring up the two little wild boars.
Put the living end directly into the bucket of the cart. It can’t jump out anyway at 5 or 6 kilograms. The dead one will be disemboweled later.
There was water nearby, so Li Long leaned on the water and began to skin and disembowel the wild boar.
The man walked over slowly and watched Li Long skinning and disemboweling the wild boar.
Li Long's Type 56 automatic rifle was right next to him. He didn't know whether he was curious or had other ideas, so he took a step there. Li Long made a gesture with his knife:
" You'd better not move around, that's a gun, and I also have a knife in my hand. It's easy to miss," the man said with a forced smile:
"I'm just curious...I used to be a militiaman..."
"Since I have been a militiaman, I should know that it is best not to touch other people's guns!" Li Long took the gun and carried it on his back. On the body, continue to skin the wild boar.
"You have gained quite a lot this time." The man was at a loss for words, "Well..."
"You'd better leave. I'm not sure if I leave later. The wild boar can't come over. If it comes over again, I think I will. There is no time to come back, the wild boar seems to be targeting you, so..."
Li Long lowered his head to skin the wild boar and said slowly, "I'm also very curious about how you can escape. .”
When the man heard this, he immediately stopped talking and looked around in a panic. However, when he saw the wild boar that Li Long's men had almost peeled out, he couldn't help but said:
"Look at what you have done today. There's a lot of wild boar meat, I don't know..."
"No, you'd better leave now." Li Long interrupted him.
The man gritted his teeth and said again:
"Just think of it as if I exchange it with caladium. The day after tomorrow, no, the day after tomorrow! I can exchange it with caladium for the day after tomorrow!"
"Let's talk about it when we get the Fritillaria!" Li Long was unmoved at all.
Seeing that Li Long was not getting in, this man finally turned around and left.
Li Long ignored him and continued to skin and disembowel the wild boar. He will be busy for a while.
The two semi-large wild boars weighed about 50 or 60 kilograms. It was quite cold here. After a while, the flies did not come over, but a few wasps came over. Li Long regretted that he left in a hurry and didn't bring any salt with him.
After finishing cleaning up the two big wild boars, the sun was almost up, and the little wild boar was easier to handle. Li Long peeled off the skin, cleaned the internal organs, intestines and stomach, and put them away before washing them completely. Get on the tractor and drive towards the wooden house.
When he arrived at the wooden house, Li Long opened the door and went inside to get salt and wiped it on the three wild boars. Seeing that the living little wild boar was still enlarging the meat of the wild boar, he tied it up, but it was not very tight. Really, at least keep it from moving.
After thinking about it, Li Long put all the fritillaries in the house and the roe deer skin into a bag, hung them on the back of the seat bag, then locked the door and drove the tractor. Go outside the mountain.
After crossing the Qingshui River, we turned onto Wuyi Highway and headed east. When we arrived at the big yard, the sun was already setting in the west.
It was still early before Gu Xiaoxia got off work. After Li Long entered the big yard, he saw that Xiaolu and the three little guys were not running around, so he thought they should be in the glass room.
I got off the tractor and looked over there, and sure enough, it was there. The water in the basin was all gone, and the three little guys screamed anxiously when they saw Li Long. Li Long smiled and added feed and water to them before closing the door.
Li Long planned to put a half-large wild boar here. He disassembled the wild boar and put the meat into a basin to pull out the meat. The kitchen room is still quite cold at this time, so I don't have to worry about it breaking for a while. But he took out two more legs from the basin. Of these two legs, he planned to place one with Old Uncle Luo and one with Gu Boyuan.
There are more people to take care of now, so every aspect must be considered.
After putting the meat away and spreading the fritillaries in the side room to dry, Li Long drove the tractor and left the big yard. He had to send the remaining wild boar and offal back to the team first.
There is a big family over there, and there is a lot of meat to eat. Although I put down a lot of meat before, I guess there isn’t much left.
The tractor turned a corner at the big meat restaurant, and Li Long bought a few steamed buns. He didn't eat lunch and was hungry at this time, but he probably wouldn't have food when he got home. He had to come back in the evening and couldn't wait for them to cook.
The horse number who arrived first with the tractor put down one leg and handed the little wild boar to Uncle Luo. Li Long went to Gu's house again. Gu Boyuan was busy in the vegetable field, and when he saw Li Long, he was a little puzzled. He had only been away for two days.
"I trapped a wild boar in a trap today. I'll bring you a leg." Li Long raised the boar's leg and said.
“You are so capable.” Gu Boyuan naturally would not refuse the good things sent by his son-in-law, “Did the county keep them?”
“Yes, there are more than this. "Li Long said with a smile, "You can take care of it, I'll return it. I have to go home and go back to the county in the evening.”
“Go, go,” Gu Boyuan urged him after hearing that Li Long said he was going back to the county. There are no cars, but you still have to pay attention to safety.”
"Got it." Li Long responded, started the tractor and drove south.
The neighbor heard the noise and after Li Long left, he came to Gu Boyuan's yard and asked:
"Did your son-in-law bring you something?"
" Yes, there was a wild boar in the mountains and they brought me a leg." Gu Boyuan said in a boastful manner: "How can I finish it all by myself? I have to make it into bacon, which is troublesome."
It was because he found it troublesome, and he couldn't hide the pride on his face.
The neighbor left in muttering. The scholar was so proud. If you find it troublesome, then give it to me?
Of course he didn't say it. He knew it would be useless if he said it. How could he give it to me?
Li Long drove the tractor to his eldest brother's house. Li Qingxia and Tao Daqiang were setting up the network in the yard. They were both surprised and happy when they heard the sound of the tractor.
When Li Long drove the tractor into the yard, they had already made room.
"Why are you back again?" Li Qingxia asked.
Li Jianguo and Liang Yuemei went to work, while Du Chunfang and Chen Lirong were working in the front yard and came over when they heard the noise.
"I killed the wild boar and brought it back to you." Li Long said.
"You can just stay there and eat." Li Qingxia complained, "Your wife has to eat too, and you have to eat something good in the mountains."
"Leave it alone. Yes." Li Long said with a smile.
Du Chunfang came over at this time. Li Long greeted his mother and then his second sister-in-law.
Tao Daqiang helped Li Long lift the wild boar down. Li Long asked:
"How is the fish selling?"
"I went to Shicheng to sell it today. The sales there were very good. I and I "I'll go there tomorrow," Tao Daqiang said with a smile, "I also met my brother-in-law, and his mutton is sold well." "
"Xingbang also said that he is running out of sheep and wants to see if he can bring another cart of sheep over."
"Okay," Li Long thought. After thinking about it, he said, "I'll go into the mountains early tomorrow morning. As long as my friends don't have to leave, that's fine."
"Yes. You have a rest, and you don't have to worry about the meat. Eat the meat later before leaving." Li Qingxia said.
"No, the meat in the yard over in the county hasn't been cleaned up yet. I have to go back and get that." Li Long said, "I'll leave after a while. Daqiang, you can cut some meat later." Take it back."
"No, no, I still have it at home." Tao Daqiang blushed and waved his hands hurriedly.
"Why are you so polite?" Li Long said. If Tao Daqiang was not here, he would not go out of his way to give it away. Now that he is here, there is no problem in sharing some.
Li Qingxia and Tao Daqiang set up the net, and then started to cut the meat with great interest.
Li Long was watching from the side. The old man was not familiar with the technique, but there was no need to be so serious about the meat. It was all in the mouth anyway. Seeing that the time was almost up, Li Long drove the tractor and left.
After the meat was cooked, Du Chunfang and Chen Lirong burned the meat, and Li Qingxia and Tao Daqiang went to lower the net. After lowering the net, Tao Daqiang wanted to go back, but Li Qingxia forced him to come back and took a piece of meat of three to four kilograms. Go.
The two of them agreed to pick up the net a little earlier tomorrow and then go to Shicheng early to sell fish.
Tao Daqiang also agreed after seeing that Li Qingxia had traveled dozens of kilometers today and there was nothing unusual. It’s dozens of dollars a day. It’s such a good money to make!
Li Long's tractor suddenly drove back to the big yard, and Gu Xiaoxia was behind him.
Gu Xiaoxia was very happy when she saw the tractor in the yard. Seeing Li Long handling wild boar meat again, he asked in surprise:
"You're hunting wild boar again? That's awesome!"
Listening to Gu Xiaoxia's words, Li Long was also happy Awesome. He could hear that Gu Xiaoxia's words were sincere, which was valuable.
Li Long cooked the meat and Gu Xiaoxia prepared dinner. After a while, the aroma of food wafted in the yard.
This is life, peace and happiness. There are not so many big surprises in life, it's just plain and simple, and Li Long likes it very much. He doesn't want to go to the mountains anymore. It would be great to stay here! (End of chapter)
