Chapter 22: Everyone was shocked when the pig was brought into the village
The mountain road is not easy to walk, and going down is even harder.
Fortunately, people often come to chop wood on this road, so walking is not that strenuous.
But after walking for more than 20 minutes, you have to stop and take a rest.
After stopping, Qin Jiao walked to Xu Ye with a towel.
"Xiao Ye, you two should take a break. Don't leave in such a hurry for a pig that weighs more than 300 kilograms." Qin Jiao said with some distress.
"Mom, it's okay. Sanbao and I have a lot of strength. Look, I'm not even sweating." As he said that, Xu Ye wiped his forehead.
Qin Jiao took a serious look and found that there was indeed no sweat on Xu Ye's body.
"Auntie, don't look at it. Brother Ye is not as big as me, but he is no less powerful than me."
"This wild boar was stabbed by Brother Ye at night, and his neck was twisted. I don't think I can even do it." Zhang Sanbao helped brag.
His forehead was covered with sweat now, and he was wondering why Xu Ye was not affected at all.
What did you eat last night? Is it such a supplement?
However, he was a well-known strongman in the village, and he didn't want to lose his position here. He was too embarrassed to wipe the sweat on his face, let alone say that his shoulder was hurt by the three hundred kilogram wild boar.
"I'm scared after hearing about these knives and guns. You have to be careful when entering the mountains in the future, and don't be too reckless." Qin Jiao didn't dare to think about it in detail, she just hoped that Xu Ye would be safe.
She is different from Jiang Youshou. She is the mother-in-law, and the more she looks at her son-in-law, the more satisfied she becomes.
Ever since Xu Ye started dating her daughter, she had been particularly satisfied with Xu Ye as a 'scholar'.
Now that this scholar is forced to dance with guns and sticks due to the pressure of life, she is really worried.
This morning, I secretly worshiped the mountain god, hoping that the mountain god would protect Xu Ye and Jiang Ruyue.
"Auntie, you can rest assured. Brother Ye is calm and composed, and his hunting is much better than that of us."
"If it weren't for Brother Ye, how could we have gained so much tonight?" Zhang Sanbao said cheerfully.
With the big harvest in the evening, he will be able to marry a wife soon.
Although she is not as beautiful as the Jiang sisters, she is still a beauty that countless people from all over the country miss.
Speaking of the evening's harvest, everyone's face was filled with happy smiles.
If all these wild boars were sold for money, neither the Jiang family nor the Zhang family would be able to make so much money after working for a year.
"No matter how talented you are, you have to be careful. You can never make a big mistake." As he said that, Jiang Youshou handed Xu Ye a big front door.
"What Dad said is that we will pay attention to safety. Safety is more important than anything else when entering the mountain." Xu Ye agreed while taking the cigarette.
Jiang Youshou nodded with satisfaction, struck a match and helped Xu Ye light a cigarette.
Zhang Sanbao also got a cigarette and took out a cigar.
After the men finished smoking a cigarette, they picked up their burdens again and walked down the mountain.
After stopping and resting along the way, we finally reached the foot of the mountain before dawn.
Zhang Gui took away the Tufanzi because he felt that he could not use the Hanyang-made ones, but his own Tufanzi was better.
Qin Jiao and Wang Chunhua didn't get much rest. They carried the little wild boar and rushed to Zhang's house.
We have to get the wild boar back home and deal with it before anyone gets up.
Xu Ye took Jiang Ruyue and Zhang Sanbao to rest outside the village. They had to wait until dawn before anyone got up before entering the village to attract everyone's attention.
Xu Ye cut off some internal organs to feed the leopard and train it at the same time.
Seeing this, Zhang Sanbao also took his hound to train.
"Brother, will we be dedicated to hunting from now on?" Zhang Sanbao asked curiously.
He really didn't want to dig in the soil for food. No matter how hard he dug, he couldn't get out the meat.
But going into the mountains is different. One trip can save the family from having to worry about meat for a month.
"Well, it only takes a few work points a year to farm and grow flowers."
"Our trip to the mountains lasted ten and a half months compared to others." Xu Ye said very simply.
Saying that, Xu Ye looked at Jiang Ruyue. Jiang Ruyue said nothing and nodded towards Xu Ye to express her support.
She usually has a dull temperament and is a show-off type.
Ever since Xu Ye held her hand last night and promised to shoulder the burden of the Li family, she had identified Xu Ye as a man.
Whatever he does, she will silently support him.
"That's a good relationship. From now on, the three of us brothers and sisters will live with guns." As he said this, Zhang Sanbao rubbed Huahu's head happily.
Eating meat every day is so exciting that few people would not like it.
The three of them rested for a while, and the sky gradually became a little brighter.
The chickens in the village began to crow, injecting a bit of vitality into the silence.
"Let's go, you can enter the village." Xu Ye stamped out the cigarette butts, squatted down and put the bamboo stick on his shoulders.
"Leopard, bark twice."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Woof, woof." The leopard barked twice immediately.
After a while, many families poked their heads out of their yards.
"Wow, what are you carrying? Look at...hissing, wild boar, such a big wild boar?"
"Daughter-in-law, come on, come and see the big wild boar, a big wild boar weighing several hundred kilograms."
"My dear, this load is already bending, isn't it? How heavy is it, three hundred kilograms?"
"Three hundred? It's more than that. It's bent like that. It can't be four hundred pounds?"
"Shit, if Lao Jiang's son-in-law has that kind of strength, I think he can weigh up to three hundred pounds."
"Damn it, you just shot two muntjacs yesterday, and today you shot a wild boar so fat, you're not afraid of retribution?"
"This big wild boar can be exchanged for so many good things. Our Lao Wang just exchanged eighteen eggs for two kilograms of meat yesterday."
As soon as you said something, everyone started a heated discussion, and a sour smell seemed to be wafting in the air.
Zhang Sanbao raised his mouth proudly, feeling secretly happy.
For the first time, he experienced how satisfying it was to keep one's wealth private.
"Sambo, you led them to fight together. Now your skills have improved. You are even better than Li Dongming." Zhang Fu looked at his nephew with envy and a bit of pride.
"Second uncle, my brother Ye led us to hunt this wild boar. He was the one who contributed all the effort. I was also able to share fifty or sixty kilograms of meat." Zhang Sanbao said cheerfully.
"It turned out to be this Xu Zhiqing who beat me. Is it true?"
"That can still be a lie. Yesterday they shot two muntjacs."
"With such a big wild boar, everyone should be able to get some meat today, right?"
"Xu Zhiqing, can you exchange the roasted sweet potatoes for meat? Can you exchange it with me for a pound?"
"Xu Zhiqing, we have two gun barrels at home, can we replace them?"
Xu Ye was very happy to see everyone so enthusiastic.
This meat is valuable only if it is eaten by others. If everyone eats it by themselves, people will get tired of eating so much meat.
"Don't worry, folks. The three of us will go back and divide the meat first, set up three stalls, and exchange the idle things with everyone."
"In order to allow everyone to eat meat, each person will be exchanged for a pound at most today. Don't worry, everyone."
Hearing what Xu Ye said, everyone suddenly became eager and went back to pick up the unused things at home.
There is no one in Sanxitun who is not greedy for meat.
One pound of meat can feed a whole family for three days during the Chinese New Year.
