Chapter 60 Encountering a Herd of Wild Boars
Yuan Rong carefully took out the mechanical watch from his pocket and said, "It's almost four o'clock. I suggest we suspend our fishing activities and take these pigs back first. We don't have many people, and with Shengsheng killing eight pigs in total, I'm afraid we'll need to move them in two trips."
Everyone had no objection. Even if the Liang family took one pig for themselves, the remaining seven would be enough for them to eat for a long time.
Although he is young, Yang Han has strong organizational skills. No wonder Sun Ping made him the temporary captain.
In order to catch fish, everyone brought a lot of containers and even ropes.
The current conditions are limited. At Yuan Rong's suggestion, Yang Han arranged for people to find some strong branches and tie the wild boar to the branches with their bodies. The two injured team members were unable to lift the wild boar, so they stayed behind to guard it.
There were eight pigs and seven people left except for the two wounded. Yuan Rong suggested that Liang Yingsheng carry the firewood and lead the way, and the rest of them would carry three pigs back in groups of two and call for support later.
"We need to prepare more firewood. We need firewood to boil water to process the wild boar meat."
"If we don't have enough firewood, we can go up the mountain to chop it tomorrow. Let's go!"
Although it was hard work, everyone was happy. When they thought about having a big meal soon, they wanted to just carry the wild boar and run.
Grandma Chen's yard is big, so the wild boars were placed at Grandma Chen's house first. Yang Han personally ran back to the grain station to inform Sun Ping, and the others took a rest for a while.
The group of people made a lot of noise. Grandma Chen and her daughter-in-law Lin Xiu came out of the house in a daze. When they saw the wild boar on the ground, they were so scared that their eyes almost popped out.
"Oh my God, is this a wild boar?"
Yuan Rong's eyebrows lit up: "Yes, Mom, we are lucky tonight and found eight wild boars. We can eat meat tomorrow."
Grandma Chen cried with joy, hugged her son and kept thanking the Bodhisattva.
Liang Qiuwen and Zhou Lanxin also came over with flashlights. They first checked Liang Yingsheng and Liang Zhimo all over their bodies, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that they were not injured.
"What a great harvest! Life is tough these days. We have to avoid zombies and guard against criminals. I guess everyone hasn't had a good meal of meat in a while."
Zhou Lanxin sighed.
Lin Xiu wiped her tears and nodded: "Yes, yes, Xuyang said there are five pigs in the mountains. I decided to go into the mountains with him to collect some firewood later."
"Dad, you go and help, I'll just stay and look after the house."
Zhou Lanxin pushed Liang Qiuwen's shoulder, and Zhimo said that Shengsheng had killed a pig himself, so the Liang family could take the whole pig.
Wild boar skin is thick and difficult to handle, but wild boar meat fried with garlic sprouts is delicious!
Soon, Sun Ping came up with his men, and they were all delighted to see the wild boar on the ground.
"Let's get going quickly. We're leaving two injured members on the mountain. What if they run into danger or there are wild boars?"
Wild boars are ferocious animals, which means that now that there is a zombie outbreak, everyone has to carry weapons with them. Otherwise, if you really encounter a group of wild boars with your bare hands, it would be strange if you can win.
Without staying long, the group hurried up the mountain again.
Liang Yingsheng didn't want to go with them this time, but considering that his younger brother and father were also going, he had no choice but to go.
It gets light early in the summer. After going back and forth for so long, it was already dawn when the remaining wild boars were carried back. Many people came to the grain station to join in the fun, including Yang Han's sister and girlfriend.
Grandma Chen was very kind and boiled a pot of hot water for everyone to drink. There were eight pigs, each weighing one or two hundred kilograms, which added up to a considerable amount.
"Should we divide this pig according to the number of people?"
Lin Xiu couldn't help asking.
Liang Yingsheng glanced at Yang Han in the crowd, "I remember saying before we killed the wild boar that we would distribute the boar according to the work done. I killed a boar by myself, so it's not too much for our Liang family to take one, right?"
After saying that, Yang Han's girlfriend Xu Wen was instantly displeased. "Are you kidding me? You think you can kill a wild boar? We have so many people, so we must have the most labor!"
Liang Yingsheng was too lazy to pay attention to him. "I'm a petty person. Even though there are only four of us in our family, if I get angry..."
Liang Yingsheng took out a whip and waved it.
Yang Han and others shuddered when they recalled the scene of Liang Yingsheng strangling the wild boar with a whip.
"Captain Sun, Miss Liang did kill a pig herself, and we did..."
Yang Han didn't continue, and Sun Ping understood. "How about this? The Liang family gets one pig first, and we divide the rest equally among the three parties according to the number of people?"
Liang Yingsheng wasn't one for heartfelt conversation. "Except for the one I hunted, just count the remaining pork as my brother's."
"But……"
Xu Wen continued in a sarcastic tone, "Isn't one pig enough for them to eat? Captain Sun, you are just too kind."
Liang Yingsheng frowned, "Auntie, are you sick?"
Xu Wen immediately exploded: "Who are you calling auntie?"
"Who else here besides you deserves this title? My brother and I worked hard, so it's only natural that we share the pork. So, what else can you do besides being pretentious and flirtatious?"
"you!"
"Wenwen, please stop talking." Yang Xiaoyue immediately tried to dissuade her. Then, she looked at Liang Yingsheng apologetically and said, "I'm so sorry, Ms. Liang. Wenwen just has this impulsive temper."
It’s the end of the world, who is pampering whom?
It really pissed her off, and she didn't mind seeing human blood so early in the morning.
Sun Ping and Xu Wen's personalities made them quickly signal Yang Han to take the person away.
"Then do as Miss Liang wishes."
For convenience, Sun Ping simply gave one pig to Grandma Chen's family, and took the remaining six back to the grain station for each family to deal with on their own.
For the whole morning, the survivors living in Youai Town were in joy, heating up the pigs, cleaning the hair, and then cutting the pork into pieces.
Now that there are no refrigerators and the weather is hot, pork is difficult to handle, so people choose to dry it into jerky.
After a busy night, Liang Yingsheng almost fell asleep, and the task of dealing with the wild boar fell on his parents and younger brother.
When she woke up, it was already afternoon. The yard was wet everywhere. Zhou Lanxin was processing the intestines, Liang Qiuwen was making the stuffing, and the two were preparing to stuff sausages.
Seeing Liang Yingsheng appear at the door, Zhou Lanxin smiled and said, "We won't be cooking tonight. Your Aunt Lin just invited us to her house for dinner. We couldn't refuse such a kind invitation."
Liang Yingsheng nodded. She had long guessed that Grandma Chen and her family would treat them to a meal after getting the pork.
However, it would be embarrassing to go empty-handed, so the family discussed it and decided to bring a bottle of drink and some white wine.
It is not uncommon for two families to come up with these two items after raiding the supermarket together.
The seasoning was precious, so Grandma Chen's family decided to have a barbecue in the evening. Liang Qiuwen went home and got some potatoes, and also gave some sprouted potatoes to Grandma Chen.
Potatoes are filling and can be eaten in many ways. Most importantly, they are good for growth. Grandma Chen was so happy that she wanted to exchange them for pork, but was rejected.
"You two must have had the foresight to move to the mountains ahead of time."
