Chapter 13: Passers-by in the Seventies 5

"Xiao Xia, why are you out digging wild vegetables in the middle of the day?"

Zhou Rong came forward and started talking to Ke Xiaoxia.

"I didn't come here specifically to pick wild vegetables. I just came to the mountain for a walk."

In this era, everyone is craving for meat, and many people come to the mountain for a walk. When Ke Xiaoxia said this, Zhou Rong knew what she meant.

Although things are now distributed collectively and hunting is restricted, no one will say anything if you catch a rabbit, pheasant or something like that in the mountains and secretly take it home to eat.

Zhou Rong and his brothers went up the mountain with similar purpose as Ke Xiaoxia.

However, since they were many brothers, they dared to go inside.

Ke Xiaoxia was alone and just wandered around the periphery.

Ke Xiaoxia had never thought about being with the Zhou brothers.

Both parties can say hello and then part ways.

But when Ke Xiaoxia was about to leave, Zhou Rong glanced at his three brothers and suddenly said, "How about you come with us, Xiaoxia?"

When Zhou Rong finished speaking, Zhou Wen and Zhou An looked over with disapproval. Zhou Yang said nothing.

Zhou Rong ignored the gazes of his two brothers and continued, "It's not safe for a girl like you to be in the mountains. If you come with us, you can also help us check the surrounding environment."

"If we have any harvest, we can share some with you, but the bulk of the profits will definitely go to us brothers."

After saying that, Zhou Rong breathed a sigh of relief, ignored the gazes of his two brothers, and looked at Ke Xiaoxia expectantly.

Ke Xiaoxia was a little moved.

Should I follow the annoying person and eat meat, or should I not follow him and have nothing?

Ke Xiaoxia hesitated for a moment and then agreed.

Just let it be annoying.

She felt like she was going crazy over her craving for meat.

I could still bear it before, and after eating the chocolate I forced myself to eat lunch.

*

The reason why Ke Xiaoxia was sure that she would have meat to eat by following the Zhou brothers was naturally because they were the brothers of the heroine Zhou Baoer.

They are the main people who pamper Zhou Baoer. If they can't even catch some prey, how can they pamper Zhou Baoer?

Not to mention pheasants and rabbits, they might be able to get wild boars too.

It’s just that the people in the team may not know it.

With a firm mood, Ke Xiaoxia followed them with confidence.

And the fact was just as Ke Xiaoxia thought.

They are not afraid of wild boars and can catch them.

But Ke Xiaoxia didn't expect that they would see a wild boar running out not long after they entered! !

When seeing the wild boar, Zhou Yang was the one who reacted the fastest.

He reached out and pulled Ke Xiaoxia to his side, then put his arm around Ke Xiaoxia's waist and lifted her up.

Zhou Yang quickly walked to the big tree next to him, lifted Ke Xiaoxia up with both hands and put her on the tree: "Climb up."

In rural areas, climbing trees is a necessary skill for almost every child.

Of course Ke Xiaoxia would.

Ke Xiaoxia hurriedly followed Zhou Yang's strength to climb up. After reaching the first branch, Zhou Yang turned around to deal with the wild boar.

The wild boar was restrained by Zhou Rong and his two companions.

All of the brothers had something in their hands.

Sickle and kitchen knife.

Zhou Wen and Zhou An are strong, and Zhou Rong is agile, so the wild boar cannot hurt them.

After Zhou Yang joined in, they not only tried to contain the enemy, but also took direct action.

Ke Xiaoxia stood on the tree and watched in amazement as they killed a wild boar.

Zhou Yang was the main force in killing the wild boar, maybe because he is Zhou Baoer’s biological brother?

He is not only strong, but also agile.

He held a kitchen knife in his hand, sat directly on the wild boar's back, and chopped at the wild boar's neck with the knife.

The scene was a bit bloody.

Ke Xiaoxia swallowed.

Only after they had dealt with the wild boar did they let Ke Xiaoxia come down.

When Ke Xiaoxia stepped on the ground, she felt her legs a little weak.

Zhou Wen looked at the wild boar, then at Ke Xiaoxia, feeling a little dissatisfied.

Zhou Yang said, "We are not going to hand this wild boar over to the team."

There was still wild boar blood on his body and face, and his tone was not fierce, but even gentle, but he still looked a little scary.

Ke Xiaoxia immediately promised: "I won't tell anyone."

Zhou Yang nodded and continued, "We found the wild boar together. You didn't contribute much, so you can't get much. Do you want money or meat?"

"If you want meat, we can give you a leg. If you want money, the most we can give you is 10 yuan."

Zhou Wen tried to ignore it and directly pulled Zhou An to lift the wild boar up.

"Let's get out of here first. The smell of blood will attract other things."

Ke Xiaoxia followed them.

Zhou Rong walked in front, and in the middle were Zhou Wen and Zhou An carrying the wild boar.

Ke Xiaoxia and Zhou Yang walked at the end.

Zhou Rong wanted to walk with Ke Xiaoxia, but he had not discussed it with his brothers before calling Ke Xiaoxia.

They were talking about how to divide the wild boar. If he said anything more, he would definitely be beaten when he got home.

I hope Brother Yang will be more kind and not bully a little girl like Xiao Xia.

Zhou Rong in front was daydreaming.

Later, Ke Xiaoxia was also hesitant.

She wanted both money and meat. Although she was a little greedy, she needed meat coupons to buy meat, so even if she got the money, she still couldn't eat the meat.

If she took the meat, she could eat it, but it was hot now and the meat wouldn't last long, and she didn't know if her space could keep it fresh.

After taking it home, she will probably pickle it and save it for the New Year.

After hesitating for a long time, Ke Xiaoxia finally spoke: "Can I have nine yuan and a pound of meat? Otherwise, eight yuan a pound of meat will be fine..."

Be it meat or money, it was all free. Even if it was only five dollars for a pound of meat, Ke Xiaoxia had no complaints.

She was afraid that people would think she was greedy.

Zhou Wen and Zhou An’s attitudes were so obvious, and Ke Xiaoxia was not a fool, how could she not feel it.

Zhou Yang: “Okay.”

"The meat will be given to you later, but the money will have to wait a little longer."

"That's okay, thank you."

No one spoke any more on the way.

Their final destination was a cave with an underground river, which was a good place to process their prey.

This place can be said to be deep in the mountains, and usually there are hardly any people coming here.

I'm not afraid even if I bring Ke Xiaoxia with me.

After all, Ke Xiaoxia didn't dare to come alone.

As for bringing other people? What's the point? Can they kill a wild boar like the Zhou brothers?

Even if it is possible, why would we have to go through so many detours to come to this cave?

Once they arrived at their destination, they began to deal with the wild boars.

Wild boar meat was not fat, so there was no need to pick it. A large piece of meat was quickly cut out for Ke Xiaoxia.

Ke Xiaoxia looked at the meat that Zhou Yang handed over and wondered if it was a bit too much?

But seeing Zhou Yang's expressionless face, Ke Xiaoxia didn't say anything.

After Ke Xiaoxia took the meat, Zhou Yang said to Zhou Rong, "Zhou Rong, send her down the mountain."

"Okay."

Zhou Rong did not participate in dealing with the wild boar just now, but simply cleaned himself up.

Now is the perfect time to send Ke Xiaoxia down the mountain.

Ke Xiaoxia was very obedient. She had no right to speak here. When Zhou Yang told her to leave, she immediately followed Zhou Rong away.

After Ke Xiaoxia left, Zhou Wen spoke in dissatisfaction: "She didn't contribute at all, and she was a bit of a drag. Isn't it a bit too much meat and money to give her?"

Zhou An didn't say anything. After all, Zhou Rong was his brother, and it was Zhou Rong who took the initiative to bring Ke Xiaoxia in.

Zhou Yang casually replied with two words: "Keep your mouth shut."

Zhou Wen was still dissatisfied: "How do you know she won't tell anyone? If she takes the meat home and her family asks about it, can she still say she bought it herself?"

Perhaps because he felt that Zhou Wen was a bit aggressive, Zhou Yang raised his head and looked at Zhou Wen and said, "She won't. Second cousin has the time, so why not deal with the wild boar quickly?"

After saying that, Zhou Yang continued to process the pork.

Zhou An looked at Zhou Yang suspiciously, then advised: "Let's deal with the wild boar first."
