Chapter 33: Divide
"Shoot at their eyes." Lu Yunxiao said to Deng Minghao, and then the two of them raised their slingshots and each aimed at a wild boar.
Shen Yi and Ji Hongjun both clenched their machetes, ready to strike at any time.
"Swish! Whoosh!" Two sounds of stones breaking through the air were heard, followed by the shrill howl of a wild boar.
The two stones hit the wild boars' eyes. The two wild boars jumped in pain, turned around in circles, and kept screaming.
Shen Yi and Ji Hongjun took action at this time. They quickly approached the two wild boars from the left and right, then raised their hands and slashed them with a knife.
The place where they cut is always the neck.
When Lu Yunxiao and Deng Minghao saw the stones hit them, they quickly put away their slingshots and rushed towards the two wild boars with a machete each.
One eye was blind but the other one was still able to see. The wild boar stared at the four people surrounding them. Its remaining eye was bloodshot and it pushed hard towards one of them like a madman.
Shen Yi was very fast and ran to the side quickly. The wild boar was stabbed again when it passed by Lu Yunxiao.
The wild boar, in pain, turned around and tried to hit Lu Yunxiao, but Shen Yi ran back and chopped the wild boar on its butt.
The situation on the other side is different from this side. Ji Hongjun is the tallest and strongest among them, and Deng Minghao has been drinking spiritual spring water for a long time, so his strength has also increased a lot, and he has also been exercising by doing farm work.
The two men basically subdued the mad wild boar with their strength. After three or two slashes, the wild boar lay on the ground, breathing more out than in, and a lot of blood flowed from under its body.
After the two of them killed the wild boar together, they went to help Lu Yunxiao and Shen Yi, and the other wild boar was quickly dealt with.
Looking at the corpses of the two wild boars, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Ruolan hurried over to check on Deng Minghao and saw that there was only a little blood splattered on his body and a bruise on the palms of his hands.
After all, human strength cannot be compared with that of a wild boar. When Deng Minghao fought head-on with the wild boar, his hand was still injured.
“I’m fine, let’s just carry this wild boar away from here.
There is so much blood, it would be bad if it attracts other wild boars, we have to leave quickly." Deng Minghao smiled at Li Ruolan, and then said to the others.
Lu Yunxiao and Shen Yi immediately went to find two trees as thick as their calves, intending to tie the wild boar to them and then carry it down the mountain.
Qin Wan, Li Ruolan and the others hurried to carry their baskets back. They had just gone up the mountain and the chestnuts they picked were not many. However, they had picked quite a few in the past few days, so they didn't care about it.
Then he put the dates picked by Deng Minghao and his friends into his basket and carried it on his back.
Over there, the four of them had tied up the wild boar with vines, lifted it up and walked down the mountain.
They walked for half an hour and when they felt they had covered enough distance, they found a place to stop, drink some water and eat some dry food.
"What should we do with two wild boars that big?" Ji Hongjun asked everyone while looking at the two wild boar carcasses lying on the ground.
Lu Yunxiao said: "If you want to sell it, I can take you to sell it." Usually, when he hunted prey, he would take it to a place to sell it. This place was not a black market, so it was very safe.
Zhou Shengnan, Zheng Fanghua and Liu Kunming stood up and said, "You killed the wild boar. We couldn't help you. So make your own decision. We won't tell anyone."
Finally, Deng Minghao said, "Qin Wan found the wild boar, and then we four killed it, so the big head belongs to the five of us.
We will keep some for the winter, and you can do with the rest."
Qin Wan was not polite and said, "I'll keep the pork too."
Lu Yunxiao also expressed his opinion: "Then I will stay and eat it too, but it is not convenient for me to take it back home, so I will leave it with Qin Zhiqing first."
Shen Yi said at this time: “These two wild boars are one male and one female. The male is larger and should be heavier than the female.
So, the females will be given to the four of you and you can divide them equally. We will sell the males. Red Army and I will keep half of the proceeds, and the remaining half will be divided equally among the three of you. "
It is the custom of hunting to share the spoils in half when meeting. Although Zhou Shengnan and the other three did not make any contribution, fortunately they came together. Even if it is to keep their mouths shut, they have to be given the spoils.
The three of them refused again and again.
"No, we can't take it. We didn't help at all, and we feel uneasy accepting this money."
Ji Hongjun had no objection to Shen Yi's arrangement, and said with a smile, "Just take it if you give it to you, we all live in the educated youth site.
We are all familiar with each other's situations, so just take it."
But seeing that Shen Yi and Ji Hongjun were serious about giving it to them, the three of them didn't refuse any more and agreed.
A wild boar weighs about 200 pounds. Based on the price of ordinary pork, at 70 cents per pound, it can be sold for more than 150 yuan.
Excluding the half that Shen Yi and Ji Hongjun got, the three of them could get about 25 yuan each. 25 yuan, if they spent it frugally, would be enough for them to buy food for a year.
This amount of money is very precious to them now, and they really can't refuse.
After seeing the division, Lu Yunxiao nodded and said, "Okay, then let's wait until nightfall before going back. We'll take the small road later and I'll take you to the town to sell the pig."
Lu Yunxiao and Shen Yi secretly left the path carrying a wild boar, preparing to take it to the town to sell it, while Deng Minghao and the others slowly carried the wild boar down the mountain.
When it's late at night and everyone is asleep, carry the wild boar back home.
After walking a little further down, Qin Wan led them to find a patch of wild yam. They left the wild boar aside and started digging wild yams.
They kept digging until night fell and nothing could be seen. Then they supported each other, bathed in the bright moonlight, and walked down the mountain one step deep and one step shallow, and then returned to the Youth League Home.
It was about to snow, and at nightfall everyone's breath was filled with white mist. However, in such a cold day, they were still sweating profusely.
The wild boar was carried into Li Ruolan's home, and then everyone dispersed.
Before dawn, Lu Yunxiao and Shen Yi returned with 165 yuan.
"I also borrowed the tools to kill the wild boars from the people who collected them. I will sneak over here tonight and divide the wild boars."
Lu Yunxiao put the machete, boning knife and other tools at Deng Minghao's house. After saying goodbye to them, he left and went back to his own home.
Shen Yi had breakfast at Deng Minghao's house before returning to the educated youth point. As for where he went yesterday, he just made up an excuse, and Zhou Shengnan, Ji Hongjun and others agreed with him. The people at the educated youth point didn't care where Shen Yi went last night.
