Tian Lisong turned around and looked at the wild boar they had killed. He felt a little reluctant. He also wanted to keep the wild boar to improve everyone's food.
But this wild boar was killed by someone else, and they didn't contribute anything, so they were too embarrassed to ask to keep the wild boar. They had to nod and agree to let them take the wild boar away.
When the People's Liberation Army heard this, they walked up to the wild boar, squatted down, shouted a few slogans, and lifted the wild boar up.
After the group of people carried the wild boar away, Tian Lisong carried Tian Tian back home.
Tian Tian exercised too much today and feels exhausted.
When Old Lady Tian was halfway there, she ran into Tian Ligang. Knowing that the People's Liberation Army had gone to help, she simply came back and boiled a large pot of water for Tian Tian to take a bath.
On the way back, Tian Tian did not forget to take a detour to the place where she was targeted by the wild boar. The earthenware jar she was holding and the dishes and chopsticks inside were still placed under the wall. They were neither dropped nor broken by the wild boar. Lin Meiyu then went home holding the big earthenware jar.
Tian Lisong carried Tian Tian to the yard, but Tian Tian wanted to walk on her own, so he put her down.
After entering the room, Old Lady Tian closed the door with a stern face, then took out a brazier and said, "Step over the brazier! Get rid of the bad luck!"
Her eldest granddaughter has a problem with water. Last year she fell into the river and almost drowned. This year she was chased by a wild boar into the river and soaked for a long time. The eldest girl in that family wants to be like Tian Tian, so she has to soak in the river every year.
Tian Tian felt a little scared and a little aggrieved when she saw Old Lady Tian’s serious expression, but she still stepped over obediently.
Jumping over the fire pot is also a feudal superstition. Old Mrs. Tian didn't dare to make it too obvious, so she just quietly jumped over it in the house to get rid of bad luck.
Seeing that Tian Tian was so obedient, Old Mrs. Tian's expression eased a little and she sent Tian Tian back to the house to take a bath.
The water was boiled early and Tian Tian's clothes were also found.
She had just soaked in the river for so long, and she didn't know if it was Tian Tian's illusion, but she felt that she smelled terrible now.
Tian Tian locked the door, took a quick shower, washed her hair, rubbed the clothes she had worn in the river, and hung them out to hang. However, she found that Tian Lisong and Lin Meiyu had already got ready and went to work in the fields.
"Grandma! It was a group of People's Liberation Army soldiers who saved me today, otherwise I would still be floating in the river." Tian Tian hung the clothes on the string to dry.
"Are those PLA soldiers the ones who live in the mountains?"
It is rumored that there is a troop in their mountain valley that is secretly training, but no one has seen it and doesn't know anything about it, so they just treat it as a rumor.
As a result, this group of People's Liberation Army really came today, so the fact that there is a training base in the mountains should not be false.
Considering that the People's Liberation Army arrived so quickly today, the base should be not far from them. When Tian Tian thought of this, she felt a little excited.
Old Mrs. Tian got a little angry whenever this matter was mentioned. Originally, Old Mrs. Tian thought that the People's Liberation Army came specifically to help them hunt wild boars, and she was very grateful to them.
But on the way back I heard from others that the wild boar was not killed by the PLA soldiers when they went up the mountain to hunt, which forced the wild boar to come to their team.
She said that there had been no wild boars coming down the mountain for almost ten years. How come wild boars suddenly came down this year?
"I heard that on the mountain where the wild boar came down, several trees at the foot of the mountain were knocked down by the wild boar, and the crops were also destroyed. It was obvious that the wild boar had gone crazy and destroyed the crops."
There were also wild boars that were bored and were hitting trees for fun. Even though the crops in the fields were all knocked down, the grains on them were still there. In the past, the wild boars would eat the grains when they came down the mountain, but this time it was totally abnormal.
When Tian Tian thought of the wild boar's two long and thick fangs, she shuddered.
She had no doubt about the authenticity of the incident of breaking two trees. The wild boar's small body looked very strong, and it was easy for it to break two trees.
"That wild boar's skin must be very thick!" Tian Tian was a little curious. The wild boar's fur looked coarse and hard, so its skin must be very thick as well.
"That's not a big deal! During the famine, we stripped all the bark from the trees on the mountain and ate them. The pigs were so hungry that they had nothing to eat, so they came down the mountain and destroyed the crops in the fields. At that time, all the strong laborers in our team went up to hunt the wild boar. After just one shovel, there was no blood on the pig, and the person who was chopping was thrown far away. It took several shovels to get into the wild boar." Old Mrs. Tian had witnessed the villagers working together to besiege the hungry wild boar that came down the mountain, so she was even more angry about the People's Liberation Army forcing the wild boar down the mountain today.
These unarmed civilians cannot eat enough or well, and they only have a few farm tools in their hands. What use are they?
As a result, they drove a wild boar down the mountain, which not only destroyed the crops, but what if it hurt someone?
Today it was her eldest granddaughter who was smart and ran to the river to soak in it. If it had been someone else, they might have been gored to death by a wild boar.
"Is its skin so thick? No wonder there are so many people surrounding it today, but no one dares to attack it!" Tian Tian heard that the wild boar was so strong, and she also understood why everyone stayed away from it and no one was willing to go forward to kill it.
"The wild boar we encountered before was quite skinny because it had been hungry for a long time. It was nothing like the fat and strong wild boar we saw today. Four or five people from our team died because of that skinny wild boar. They were directly gutted by the wild boar's tusks and strung together to make candied haws."
"That widow Sun at the head of the village...your Aunt Sun, her husband died when they were killing wild boars. She was a pitiful woman, too. You said she was in poor health and couldn't do heavy work, so she could only do those businesses."
Old Mrs. Tian said it carelessly and almost blurted out the word "skin and flesh". But when she turned around and saw Tian Tian sitting there, she changed her words in time.
Tian Tian knew the widow Sun. She was very beautiful and seldom worked in the fields to earn work points. She had good food and clothing. She applied oil on her face every day and made new clothes every year.
She is a womanizer, but as Old Mrs. Tian said, if she had any other way out, who would be willing to do this kind of work? Doesn't she know that doing this kind of thing is unpopular? She just has no other choice.
Their brigade's attitude towards that widow Sun was also very strange. If you were to say that they disliked most people, they would really dislike them. But in this era, hooliganism was a serious crime. As long as you were reported, you could be convicted without even any verification. But this widow Sun had never been reported.
What a strange thing.
Tian Tian said that she couldn't quite understand everyone's train of thought.
But to be honest, their team is quite united. Although there are some intrigues, some quarrels and bickering between neighbors, and some disdain and dislike for each other, they all resolve them internally. They have never brought the matter to the commune, with you reporting this and I reporting that.
"You are just too lucky this time. You said that it was a strange thing. There were so many people in front of you and the wild boar didn't even chase one person, but it happened to come to you. The wild boar chased you desperately, and so many people followed behind without making any mistakes. You are really unlucky. You soaked in the river last year and you are still soaking in the river this year. Do you have a conflict with the river? From now on, you don't have to wash your clothes in the river. You can just use some water from the dry well at home to wash them." Old Mrs. Tian seemed to be more and more puzzled.
Although the wild boar had come down the mountain before, it would never chase after a person unless you provoke it.
Tian Tian shrank her neck, feeling guilty and confused.
She also felt very strange. Since the beginning of spring this year, her lucky attribute had not been in use. She even went to the mountains on purpose to see if there were any pheasants or rabbits flying into the trees, but there was nothing.
Instead, the wild boar that could take her life this time chased her desperately, wanting to eat her.
Could it be that she had been craving for pork recently and was so greedy that a wild boar was specially sent to her for her to eat?
But the key point is whether she will have the life to eat it, especially now that the pig can no longer be eaten as it has been carried away by the People's Liberation Army.
