Chapter 108 This time the prey is really abundant
Tu Subo tightened his heavy warm clothes and said in a voice so light that it seemed to disappear with the wind: "Maybe."
Xuanxuan seems to have a strong character, but in fact her heart is as soft as water.
He has been away for many days. Whenever night falls, Xuanxuan will miss him when she looks at the empty bed.
She should be able to do it, right?
Hu Hongsheng wanted to make a few more jokes, but he saw Tu Subo suddenly narrow his eyes and made a gesture to keep quiet.
He slowly pressed down with his cold palm, and a sharp gleam flashed in his eyes: "Shh."
"It seems what we have been waiting for has arrived..."
The thick snow obscured the amazing movements in the mountains and forests.
As the trees swayed violently, a huge beast finally exhausted its last bit of strength. Its body weighing hundreds of pounds fell to the ground with a loud bang, and countless blood splattered on the snow. At the same time, the tense atmosphere was instantly replaced by cheers and laughter.
"Great! We finally made it!"
Hu Hongsheng excitedly rushed to the front, breathing heavily and saying, "This wild boar weighs at least 400 kilograms, and the other two weigh 200 kilograms together. Our hard work over the past few days has finally paid off!"
"you do not say!"
A man wiped the sweat from his forehead and said happily: "Thanks to Tu Subo's last few cuts, otherwise these two big guys might have escaped!"
Although Tu Suting didn't help much, his face flushed and he patted Tu Subo's shoulder excitedly: "Well done! You're amazing!"
The six of them came together just to hunt a big, decent-sized animal before the New Year. After all, at this time of year, every household longed for a hearty pot of meat. Whether they could have a prosperous new year depended on their harvest.
They searched in the mountains and forests for many days, following the tracks of animals on the snow, and finally got what they wanted today and returned with a full load.
Tu Subo exhaled a light puff of white air, a faint smile on his lips. His eyes darted around, still maintaining a sense of vigilance: "This bloody aura is likely to attract other ferocious beasts. We should not linger here any longer."
"Brother Hu, please bring the prepared planks. We will take the prey and set off down the mountain immediately."
After several days of working together, a tacit understanding had formed among them. As soon as Tu Subo finished speaking, everyone quickly took up their duties and tied the steaming wild boar to the wooden board. Working together, they pulled the hemp ropes attached to the board and quickly walked down the mountain.
In order to catch a satisfactory prey, they went deep into the dense forest. In addition, they stumbled all the way down the mountain while dragging the heavy wild boar. When they finally reached the foot of the mountain, the sky was already stained with a faint twilight.
Hu Hongsheng was exhausted and sat down on the snow, panting and saying, "Tu Subo, should this batch of prey be sent to your house for storage first?"
Tu Subo couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this: "Why are you sending me home?"
"If it's not sent to you, where else can it be sent?"
Although this was the first time that Tu Subo had teamed up with them to hunt, no one had the intention of taking advantage of him.
"We agreed before we set out that no matter how much we harvested, whoever contributed the most would get a larger share."
"You led us to find these three wild boars. You were also the one who set the traps and killed them yourself. Naturally, your family's share should be considered first."
Another equally exhausted hunter took a bite of fresh snow, his teeth chattering with cold as he said, "That's exactly how it should be."
"I'll send it to you first. You'll get the majority share, and we'll split the rest."
Tu Subo shook his head without hesitation.
"How can that be possible?"
"Since we started out together and worked together, the benefits should be evenly distributed and shared fairly."
It was no problem for him to catch small animals such as pheasants and roe deer alone, but he would not be able to catch large prey like wild boar without the help of others.
He doesn't mind the size of the share.
Tu Subo took a deep breath and suggested, "While it's still light, why don't we just return the prey in one go, divide it up, and then go home?"
It is really uncomfortable to stay in the mountains. My persistence these days is all due to my unyielding will.
If the follow-up matters are not handled in a timely manner, there will probably be more trouble tomorrow.
Hu Hongsheng patted his palms, which were rubbed by the hemp rope, stood up and said, "Then it's settled."
"Work harder tonight and finish processing all the meat so that my wife and children can enjoy the fresh and delicious food tomorrow!"
"Go, go, brothers, let's get started!"
In the cold winter, this quiet village seems particularly peaceful, but tonight is an exception.
A group of people dragged three sturdy wild boars all the way from the foot of the mountain and slowly walked into the village. The exclamations and onlookers they caused along the way were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.
The curious people even followed him and chased him all the way to Tu Su's door.
Gu Yuexuan suddenly felt a little dazed, as if she heard Tu Subo's voice.
Her expression instantly became complex and subtle, and she couldn't help but hold her breath and listen attentively.
Outside the door.
Tu Subo exhaled a puff of white air and called out gently, "Xuan Xuan?"
"ah?"
Gu Yuexuan hurriedly put down the things in her hands and hurried out of the house. She was shocked by the mountain of meat in front of the door and gasped.
“Oh my god…”
Isn’t this harvest too abundant?
Tu Subo looked at the astonishment on her face and felt a sense of joy in his heart. He panted and said, "Brother Hu and the others are here too. Could you please help boil some hot water?"
Gu Yuexuan nodded repeatedly in agreement and quickly opened the door as wide as possible: "Come in, it's warm inside, have some hot tea and take a rest first."
Xi Lanfang and the others who were embroidering inside heard the noise and came out. Seeing the huge wild boars with sharp teeth and ferocious faces tied to the boards, they were both frightened and delighted: "Oh, what a rich catch this time!"
"Xuanxuan, the rice wine is still warm in the kitchen. I'll go get a bowl and pour a cup for everyone."
Li felt uncomfortable when she saw the bloody scene. She quickly pushed Tu Su Yanting into the house and hurriedly went to get the bowl and kettle.
The old grandfather was startled by the noise, followed by two curious little guys.
Tu Su Minyang and Tu Su Minxu were obviously not afraid. Instead, they ran over excitedly and tried to poke the wild boar's long fangs.
The old grandfather looked at the dusty but energetic Tu Suting and Tu Subo, a look of sincere emotion on his face. He smiled and said, "You have all worked so hard. The charcoal fire is already lit in the house. Come in and warm yourself up first."
"Grandpa is so kind!"
Hu Hongsheng was quite familiar with the old grandfather. He smiled broadly and waved, saying, "We haven't been home for over ten days. Once we finish things here, we have to hurry back. It's inconvenient for you to stay longer."
"grandfather."
Tu Subo cautiously stepped back a few steps from the stove filled with fermented rice wine and explained, "This prey was captured through the combined efforts of all of us. We should have divided it evenly tonight, so we'll probably have to wait a little longer."
