When Captain Qian heard this, his heart was in his throat. He was really afraid that something else would happen, because the group of police officers really did come to the production team every few days.
Seeing Wen Xi leaning against the door frame, Captain Qian's eyes widened. "Comrade Wen, what happened?"
"Captain Qian, wild boar..." Wen Xi said, panting, "Wild boar, there's a wild boar..."
"What?" Captain Qian was so shocked that his pupils trembled. They had never seen such large wild animals as wild boars in the mountains around here. They only had small badgers and hog badgers, which were not easy to encounter.
"Captain Qian, I encountered a wild boar while I was digging for wild vegetables on the mountain. I was almost attacked by it. After the boar ran into a tree and became exhausted, I quickly climbed down and finished it off with a few more blows. I've decided to hand the boar over to the team so everyone can share the meat." In order to get some benefits for herself, Wen Xi decided to hand over the big wild boar.
Captain Qian was shocked. He never expected that a thin and petite girl could kill a wild boar. However, he could understand it. After all, she was alone on the mountain, isolated and helpless. If she didn't fight, it would be either her or the other. If she wanted to survive, she had to fight.
Afterwards, Captain Qian arranged for strong laborers to go up the mountain to carry the big wild boar. Wen Xi led everyone up the mountain, and when everyone saw the huge wild boar, they were all shocked because it was so fat, twice as fat as the pigs raised by the team. Today, everyone could have a good meal of meat.
"Captain Qian, I'm exhausted. I'm going back to pack up now," Wen Xi said.
"Comrade Wen, go to the clinic and check if you're injured. You've made a huge contribution to the team, and you'll definitely be rewarded," Captain Qian assured him.
If someone else had hunted such a large wild boar without anyone knowing, they would have secretly taken it to the black market to sell for money. But Wenxi handed the wild boar over to the brigade. How could he let her down with such a spirit of dedication?
"Thank you, Captain." After handing over the matter of the wild boar to Captain Qian, Wenxi went down the mountain and home.
When Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue saw Wen Xi covered in blood, they were extremely worried. "Xiao Xi, what happened to you? What happened?"
Jiang Yue was so anxious that she almost cried. With so much blood lost, how serious must the injury be?
"I'm not hurt, don't worry about me. Quickly boil some water for me, I need to take a bath, the smell of blood is too awful." After saying that, Wen Xi hurried back to her room to get clean clothes.
Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue hurried to the kitchen to boil water. One sat behind the stove to start a fire, while the other added water to the large iron pot.
After the water was heated, the two of them filled the tub and brought it into the bathroom. Then they went to the kitchen to continue heating water, and Wenxi went to the bathroom to take a shower.
She didn't wash her hair because the weather is still quite cold, and it wouldn't dry properly if she washed it. Also, when she smeared the pig's blood on her body, she didn't smear it on her hair.
After everyone carried the fat wild boar down the mountain, the village was in an uproar. Everyone who saw it followed the procession to the threshing ground, as if they were afraid that their families would miss out on a piece of meat.
After tidying herself up, Wen Xi made herself a cup of malted milk powder and sat down in the main room. She was about to brag to Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue about her heroic deeds when she heard Captain Qian announcing over the loudspeaker that everyone should gather at the threshing ground, saying that there was good news to announce.
Afterwards, everyone walked together to the threshing ground. When they arrived, most of the people were already there. They saw several people processing the fat wild boar, and they were all excitedly whispering to each other.
"Wait for me here," Wen Xi said, then walked towards Captain Qian. When she reached Captain Qian's side, Wen Xi handed him several applications that she had written in advance. "Captain Qian, you said you would give me a reward, but after thinking about it, I've decided not to accept it. I would like to apply to cut pig feed and then be responsible for cooking during the busy farming season. This is my application. If Captain Qian agrees, please have everyone sign and put their fingerprints on it when you distribute the pork to everyone."
Finally, Wenxi added, "If I find anything good in the future, I will still hand it over to the team."
She has fish-catching tools, and if everyone forgets her contributions after eating the meat, she can hand over some fish so that everyone will always remember her contributions to the production team.
As long as you don't have to go ashore, occasionally handing in some fish that don't cost money isn't a big deal.
Captain Qian looked at the thin and petite Wenxi and knew that she might not be able to keep up during the busy farming season. Moreover, someone who could voluntarily apply to cut pig feed must not be working for work points. After thinking for a moment, he reached out and took the application form that Wenxi handed over.
Anyway, tasks like cutting pig feed and cooking need to be done by people, so it's not a big deal to put one person in.
"Thank you, Captain Qian," Wen Xi said with a smile.
Afterwards, Wen Xi returned to Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue's side. Shen Jiaojiao hugged Wen Xi's arm and asked curiously, "Xiao Xi, what do you need Captain Qian for?"
Wen Xi raised an eyebrow and whispered in Shen Jiaojiao's ear, "It's a good thing for the three of us."
Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue also became expectant.
Once it seemed that most people had arrived, Captain Qian picked up the megaphone and asked, "Is everyone here?"
"Everyone's here!" came a chorus of responses from the villagers. The pork was about to be distributed, so who wouldn't be excited!
If you're not enthusiastic about eating meat, there's something wrong with your brain.
"Now that everyone is here, I'll announce the details." Captain Qian coughed and waited for the room to quiet down before saying, "Many of you have probably heard about this wild boar we're talking about today. It was indeed Comrade Wenxi who killed it all by himself. He risked his life for it. I hope that after you eat the meat, you won't forget Comrade Wen's sacrifice. Also, the team was planning to give Comrade Wen a reward, but he declined. He only requested to gather pig feed and cook. When we distribute the pork later, every household and every person should come and sign the agreement. Those who don't agree to let Comrade Wen gather pig feed and cook shouldn't come to get their share of the pork. You can go home now."
Everyone found it unbelievable after hearing what Captain Qian said. They never expected that a young girl like Wenxi could actually hunt a wild boar. That must be incredibly difficult!
They knew how ferocious wild boars were, and Wenxi must have escaped death by sheer luck.
So her request was nothing at all.
Immediately, a villager said, "Captain Qian, we agree."
Then someone else said, "It was extremely dangerous for Comrade Wen, a young girl, to hunt down a big wild boar. She risked her life to bring us meat. We are not heartless people."
