After the incident, panic broke out in several villages. According to local legend, wild boars are the incarnation of mountain gods, so at this time, many people began to spread rumors that this was the mountain god's revenge, that the hunters had killed too many wild boars and angered the mountain god.

Chen Chongshan had no idea what Old Qin's visit had to do with this matter, and he looked at Old Qin with a puzzled expression.

Old Qin chuckled and said, "You haven't been up the mountain lately, do you also believe this is some kind of mountain god's revenge?"

"Old Qin, I went to high school, I'm not that superstitious."

Chen Chongshan smiled and shook his head: "I haven't been going up the mountain recently because I have to take care of Chongming. We'll be going to Tanzhou soon."

"As for that matter, it was not some mountain god's revenge at all."

Chen Chongshan shook his head and sighed: "In recent years, the government has confiscated all hunting rifles and homemade guns. Wild boars have few natural enemies in the mountains of the south, and they reproduce quickly. Now, even in the deep mountains of Shanwan, wild boars are probably becoming a plague."

"With so many wild boars, food has become a problem. It's said that large areas of corn in the mountains have yielded no harvest, and sweet potatoes are also food for these wild boars. When the villagers went to harvest sweet potatoes alone, the wild boars happened to run into them. What wouldn't wild animals do to fight for food?"

Chen Chongshan sighed and said helplessly, "It's hard to say who's right and who's wrong in this matter. It's understandable that the wild boars are after food, and it's even more understandable that the villagers are harvesting their own grain."

To say that the government was at fault for confiscating the homemade gun, the biggest natural enemy of wild boars, is not entirely fair. In those years, although it was easier to hunt boars with homemade guns, it was also easier to hunt other prey.

With firearms in hand, the hunters on the mountain would shoot anything they saw, not just wild boars, but also clouded leopards, North China leopards, muntjacs, owls, barn owls, and so on. No matter what level of national protection an animal was, whether it ran on the ground or flew in the sky, they would not let it go.

With firearms confiscated, rare wild animals such as muntjacs, owls, and barn owls have become more common in the mountains in recent years. Even the North China leopard and clouded leopard, which have been missing for a long time, have occasionally appeared.

"Haha, you've definitely read some books; your analysis is very insightful and makes a lot of sense." Old Qin nodded with a hearty laugh.

"What, Lao Qin, what does your visit have to do with this?"

Chen Chongshan continued to ask, puzzled.

That's right.

Old Qin paused for a moment, then said, "This matter has been spreading like wildfire in the towns and villages below these days. The superstitious mountain people are quite panicked, and some timid ones are too afraid to go up the mountain. In order to eliminate the impact of this incident, the government is preparing to organize people to go up the mountain to hunt pigs. I hope you can go."

"Going up the mountain to hunt pigs?"

Chen Chongshan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Lao Qin with a puzzled expression: "Lao Qin, what does this have to do with going up the mountain to hunt pigs? In the end, you only need to collect the pork, why do you need me to go?"

"It's not about pork."

Old Qin shook his head and replied, "If it were just for some wild boar meat, I wouldn't have come looking for you."

"This time, the government organized a wild boar hunt, and all hunters can sign up. The government will buy all the wild boar meat that is hunted. Hunters can not only sell the wild boar meat for money, but also receive a reward for each wild boar they hunt."

"so?"

Chen Chongshan nodded, feeling a little tempted. Although Chen Chongming's medical expenses had been covered, the length of his recovery journey was still unknown, and the expenses that would be required would likely be considerable.

Besides, I still need to make a living in the future, and I still have to pay back the money I owe Lao Qin. If a large number of hunters come up the mountain this time, I'm not afraid of any danger. Hunting a few wild boars and making some money is a good thing.

"These are not the main points."

Old Qin smiled and continued, "The team that hunts the most wild boars this time will receive a reward from the county."

"What reward?" Chen Chongshan asked, puzzled.

"Wild boar sales permit".

Old Qin replied in a deep voice, "That's also the main reason I came to see you. You know how many departments I have to bribe every year to legally sell these wild game at my Wild Game Manor. If I had this, I could rest easy."

"You want me to help you get that first place back?"

Chen Chongshan looked at Lao Qin helplessly and asked.

"Yes," Old Qin nodded.

"I'm all alone, with just Ah Huang and my dog. How can I possibly be a match for those old hunters? They all have teams," Chen Chongshan replied, shaking his head.

“Ah Huang, one dog is worth several of theirs. Besides, there are still a few days before we go up the mountain. You can find someone to form a team. This time, firearms are allowed on the mountain, and hunting with firearms is permitted.”

Old Qin replied in a deep voice, "Anyway, I don't care. You have to fight for this license for me."

"Chongshan, as long as you help me get this license, I won't ask you to pay back the 80,000 yuan. Consider it a reward for you."

Old Qin gritted his teeth and said, and Chen Chongshan was stunned for a moment. Finally, he smiled and replied, "Old Qin, since you've come to me, I will definitely go up the mountain. As for whether I can get first place, I can't say for sure. As for the reward, I don't need it. You've helped me so much, I have to repay you."

"You little brat."

Old Qin shook his head and smiled: "Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Just go up the mountain and try your best to get first place. Of course, it's okay if you don't get it. Safety is the most important thing."

"The trip up the mountain will be in three days. You'd better hurry and find a few people. A team should have at least three people and at most five. There are several hunting families in your village. You can contact them."

Old Qin gave the instructions, then paused and added, "Oh, right, there are also firearms. The government only provided homemade guns, which are no good. If you don't have anything suitable, I'll get you a few good hunting rifles."

"You really have everything prepared."

Chen Chongshan replied with a smile.

"Sigh, you know how important this license is to me, how could I not be nervous?"

Old Qin replied with a helpless smile.

"Okay, I'll do my best."

Chen Chongshan nodded with a smile, a hint of anticipation rising in his heart. He hadn't been into the mountains to hunt pigs for many days, and it had been several years since he had used firearms for hunting.

Chen Chongshan had previously used Xu Jiaming's hunting rifle to hunt wild boars in the mountains, and he really liked the powerful killing ability of that weapon.

What man doesn't like powerful weapons?

Just as Lao Qin was about to leave, Ah Huang returned carrying a bamboo rat. Looking at the big guy with nowhere to expend his energy, Lao Qin shook his head and sighed, "Chongshan, your dog is really a genius."

Chen Chongshan smiled knowingly, put the bamboo rat away, and hugged Ah Huang, shaking it a few times: "Ah Huang, in a few days, we'll be relying on you again."
