So, after knowing that this was a blood hunt, she was very worried.

He seemed a little anxious, and kept trying to persuade them not to go, or to bring some more powerful weapons.

For example, the hunting rifles in the hands of the militia! Except for the Xu Xiangdong brothers, the rest of the Xu family heard the inner voice of this matter and could not see the image.

But seeing Xu Jinning's anxious and worried look, they felt that there must be a reason why she was like this.

So, Xu Aiguo spoke.

"I think it's definitely not okay to ask everyone to cancel and not go hunting."

"Yes, I think so too." Xu Xiangdong also nodded.

Everyone was very excited about the hunt and had already made preparations. How could it be cancelled just because of a few words from them?

Maybe the two brothers don't have to go.

However, we cannot ignore the lives of the villagers when we know something bad will happen.

Although they may not have much interaction in normal times, they are all from the same village, and many of them grew up together.

Of course, if possible, they don't want the upcoming Spring Festival to be shrouded in a haze of blood and sadness.

"Then think about it again."

"Why don't we go talk to He Yi and borrow a hunting rifle from them," Xu Xiangbei suggested.

With hunting rifles, thirty people are capable of fighting even against seven adult wild boars.

The He Yi he mentioned was the captain of the militia.

"Brother, do you think he is willing to lend it to us?" Xu Xiangbei asked.

They have a militia, which is composed of people from each production team, and is responsible for protecting the safety of each production team when necessary.

The militia are equipped with hunting rifles, but their hunting rifles cannot be rented out casually.

At the beginning, Xu Xiangdong joined the militia and was the captain of the militia. He Yi was his competitor.

However, in the competition, He Yi lost to Xu Xiangdong, so Xu Xiangdong became the captain of the militia.

Later, Xu Xiangdong withdrew from the militia due to some reasons, and He Yi was the one who took over his place.

Xu Xiangbei was a little worried that He Yi might be unwilling to lend him the shotgun this time because of their previous competition.

Xu Xiangdong was silent. It was hard to say about this.

As far as he knew, although He Yi was a bit stingy, he was smart, had a clear distinction between gratitude and resentment, and was quite tactful in dealing with people.

Overall, people are OK.

But lending a hunting rifle is no small matter. Although He Yi is the captain of the militia, he may not be able to lend him a hunting rifle, especially when the hunting rifle he wants to borrow is definitely not just one or two.

"I'll go ask about the shotgun." Xu Xiangdong said.

No matter whether He Yi is willing or not, you have to ask to find out.

If He Yi doesn't want to, then we'll have to think again about going hunting in the mountains and make some plans.

Since the hunting was to be done in the next few days, Xu Xiangdong did not delay any longer and headed straight for the militia as soon as he went out.

When we arrived, He Yi was directing the militia in training.

"Cheer up, everyone."

"Zhang Tiezhu, stand up straight."

"As the New Year is approaching, our militia must train ourselves well, stay in good shape, and be ready to protect the villagers at any time."

He Yi's voice sounded resounding in the wide open space.

He Yi is only in his twenties this year, and his face and body are tanned.

He is tall and strong.

Maybe it was because of his dark skin and tough facial features, so when he frowned and scolded, he seemed to be someone who was not easy to deal with and difficult to get along with.

Turning around, He Yi saw Xu Xiangdong approaching from a distance. He frowned slightly and then walked up to him...

…

"right."

"How much do you want to borrow?"

"At least ten, how many can you lend me?"

The two sat down and talked, and He Yi poured Xu Xiangdong a glass of water.

"If there are only three or four wild boars, thirty of you with axes and machetes should be able to handle it."

"I'm afraid there's more than one herd of wild boars. We always have to be prepared for the worst."

After listening to this, He Yi remained silent.

"If it's inconvenient, then I..."

"Can."

Just as Xu Xiangdong was about to get up and leave, He Yi agreed.

"Let me lend you fifteen hunting rifles that day, but I have one condition. If you encounter a lot of wild boars, more than five adult wild boars, you can share some of the pork with our militia. We don't want more, at most half a pig."

In fact, He Yi’s request was not excessive. After all, if these fifteen shotguns were to be used, the bullets inside them would not be easily available.

Moreover, if it is really as Ningning said.

We encountered two groups of wild boars, with nine adult wild boars and two piglets, which meant a lot of pork.

Not to mention giving half a wild boar to the militia, even one would be more than enough.

"Okay, but I have to ask other people in the village." After all, when a wild boar is killed, everyone will have a share of the pork, and it's not something he can decide alone.

"Of course, I'll wait for your news then."

Xu Xiangdong did not delay. After leaving He Yi, he gathered those who planned to go hunting in the mountains and asked for everyone's opinions.

When everyone heard about the shotgun, they were immediately shocked.

That's a hunting rifle. If they encounter a lot of wild boars, even if they encounter a blind bear, they will be able to fight and they can kill more prey.

Of course, the most important thing is that their safety is more guaranteed.

Although they had been to the back mountain since they were young, they had rarely been to the deeper mountains.

And deep mountains often hide unknown dangers.

Sometimes, an axe, sickle, or hatchet alone is not enough.

Nothing can compare to a shotgun with bullets.

Moreover, if there are enough prey, it would not be excessive to share some with the militia. After all, they lent them guns and took risks, so they should always be given some benefits.

Besides, they were the militia. Whenever a production team needed help, the militia would be the first to show up.

Everyone has a favorable impression of the militia.

"I think so."

"I think so too."

"Then Xiangdong, you should talk to Captain He Yi and ask him to agree to this matter."

"Okay." Since everyone agreed, Xu Xiangdong also gladly agreed to it.

Soon, he went to tell He Yi about their decision.

"Okay, I'll prepare the shotguns, 15 of them, and you can just come and get them when the time comes."

"Okay, thank you."

Looking at Xu Xiangdong's back as he left, Zhang Tiezhu asked He Yi, "Captain, why did you agree to lend it to Xu Xiangdong?"

After all, everyone knew that He Yi had competed with Xu Xiangdong.

"Why not lend it?" He Yi asked back.
