Rebirth in '82: The Foolish Village Guardian's Mountain Life

Every village would have one or two "village guardians." They were often simple-minded and foolish, yet kind-hearted.

The older generation often said that village guardians came to th...

Chapter 107: Fire in the Mountains

"What? What did the little monkey find?"

Officer Zhai asked with curiosity on his face.

"Yes, follow me."

Chen Wang nodded and took the lead to go in the direction pointed by Jixiang.

The others quickly followed.

Not long after walking, Chen Wang suddenly bent down and raised his hand to make a stop gesture.

The people behind him immediately stopped, concentrating and holding their breath.

"What did you find? Is it the murderer?"

Officer Liang lowered his voice and asked anxiously.

Chen Wang did not respond, but raised the shotgun in his hand and aimed.

Seeing this, Chen Dazhuang, who was two steps behind, immediately understood what he was going to do. He turned around, raised his finger at several people and made a hushing gesture.

Officer Liang and others nodded, suppressing their curiosity and excitement as they waited.

"Bang!!"

Chen Wang pulled the trigger and a gunshot rang out.

"Did you hit it?"

Chen Dazhuang asked excitedly.

“Hit!”

Chen Wang smiled confidently.

"pretty!"

Chen Dazhuang praised him and rushed over immediately.

Others followed suit.

What caught everyone's eyes was a wild boar with a gunshot wound to the head.

It looks like it weighs about 300 kilograms, and is an adult boar.

"Officer Shao, take a look at this wild boar. Is this the one you encountered yesterday?"

Chen Wang looked at Officer Shao and asked.

Officer Shao looked at it carefully for a while, shook his head and said, "No, the pig yesterday didn't have such long fangs. It should be a female. This is a male."

Chen Wang nodded, not feeling surprised.

There are a lot of wild boars in the mountains, and from a distance just now, this wild boar seemed to be foraging normally.

"Awang, I'll take care of the wild boar, you lead them to continue the search!"

Chen Dazhuang took out a dagger and prepared to drain the wild boar's blood and then cut it open.

Chen Wang nodded slightly and said to Officer Liang and the other two, "Since we have killed the wild boar, we have to take it back. After all, it concerns our livelihood!"

“Understood. Let this comrade handle it. We can also help carry the prey back to the village later.”

Officer Liang said with a smile.

"Thanks."

Chen Wang thanked him.

"We should be the ones to say thank you for wasting your time and energy."

"Let's not talk about this. Let's go and continue looking."

"Um!"

So Chen Dazhuang stayed where he was to deal with the wild boar, while the others continued to search around.

About an hour later, Chen Dazhuang, with the help of the marshal, reunited with them.

"The wild boar has been processed. I divided the meat into several pieces and stuffed them into sacks. I put them under a tree and covered them with some stones and branches."

While reporting the situation, Chen Dazhuang stuffed a piece of meat he brought into Dahei's mouth.

The marshal who had been following Chen Dazhuang was already full.

Before they knew it, it was already afternoon and everyone, who had only had breakfast, immediately felt hungry and tired.

There was lunch prepared by his wife in Chen Wang's medicine basket, but it was only for him, Chen Dazhuang and his master Chen Jianjun.

Lin Xiuqin was already worried about Chen Wang's safety and had some complaints towards these police officers, so it was naturally impossible for her to prepare anything for them.

Seeing Chen Wang take out three aluminum lunch boxes from the medicine basket and give them to Chen Dazhuang and Chen Jianjun, the three police officers and Doctor Zhang were all envious.

Opening the aluminum lunch box, each person found two large meat buns with thin skin and thick fillings, as well as some bacon fried with pickles, and pork belly fried with cabbage.

"Gurgle!"

The female police officer swallowed her saliva in a cowardly manner.

As it was very quiet around, everyone could hear it clearly and looked at her with strange eyes.

Officer Zhai blushed immediately and looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle.

"Officer Liang, Officer Zhai, how about... we all share the food?"

Chen Wang asked tentatively.

"May I?"

Officer Zhai looked at him expectantly.

Chen Wang nodded with amusement and said, "I'm fine. I had a full meal this morning. I can just go back early later."

"I...I'm fine too."

Chen Dazhuang was reluctant to leave, but since Chen Wang had said so, he, as a freeloader, could only agree.

"Come on, come on, let's eat together."

Chen Jianjun was very happy to do so and took the initiative to hand a bun to Officer Shao.

Just like that, except for Dr. Zhang, everyone else got a bun.

Fortunately, Dr. Zhang also brought two steamed buns with him, which he ate with some of their pickles and was very enjoyable.

Of course one bun is not enough to fill you up, but it is enough to keep your stomach from protesting.

After everyone rested for a while, they continued searching.

The wild boar from yesterday was not found, but everyone discovered an extinguished fire.

The unburned firewood on top was still warm, so it could be judged that it was probably left this morning after burning all night.

"Do you think this was left by hunters, or is it..."

Officer Liang frowned, seeming to want to say something but stopped himself.

Of course the others understood and began to be alert around them.
