The addition of Erwa and the other children in the village helped the adults a lot.
The scene of the Xia family's mother and son butchering the pig just now completely inspired everyone present.
The hunters are not willing to submit to each other. They may not be as ruthless as Xia Manni, but they should be no worse than these men.
Another woman present, Zhang Cuiling, became even more courageous with the addition of her son Ergouzi.
The situation was originally that there were more people than wild boars, but with the leadership of Xia Manni, Da Wa and Er Wa, hunting wild boars immediately became much easier.
There were injuries during the process, but luckily none were fatal. Even Xia Manni, who had been exercising, felt a little exhausted. She didn't dare stop until she had finished off the last wild boar.
At this time, no one cheered, and no one even spoke.
"Village chief, how are we going to transport these wild boars?" A villager sat on the ground and looked at the wild boars worriedly. It was getting dark, and if they didn't transport them, these wild boars would definitely attract more animals.
The village chief had his arm scratched while fighting with a wild boar, but he looked in good spirits.
But he did not answer the man, but looked at Xia Manni.
The setting sun shone on the woman, and she looked gentle, not like someone who had just killed three wild boars.
Realizing that the village chief and the others were looking at her, Xia Manni stood up.
"Mother Da Wa, tell me how we should deal with these wild boars?" In the past, the village chief would never have asked a woman this question.
But after the fierce battle just now, who wouldn’t know who the powerful guy here is?
If it weren't for Xia Manni, someone might have died this time.
This was all due to his carelessness, but when Xia Manni found him, she told him that there should be a lot of wild boars here.
Thinking of this, he looked at Xia Manni who was standing not far away and waited for her answer.
"It's better to let Da Wa talk about this issue. He is the representative of our family." It would be better to let more people see Da Wa than to let her take the lead. The future still belongs to the young people, so she pushed Da Wa out.
"This..." The village chief wanted to say something to stop it, but he stopped talking when he thought of the bravery of the eldest and second sons of the Xia family.
"Village chief, what can a little kid know?" There were dissatisfied voices around.
"That's right, let's not waste time and let that woman tell us why she brought Joe with her."
The village chief ignored these people and looked at Dawa following Xia Manni's gaze, waiting quietly for his answer.
When Da Wa heard what Xia Manni said, he couldn't help but be surprised, but because he was used to holding meetings at home and there were so many people looking at him, he didn't feel embarrassed.
The eldest child said, "Grandpa Village Chief, wild boars have a strong smell and will attract other animals. I just counted sixteen wild boars. It would be too tiring to carry them all up there. Why don't we just chop them all up here, and then I'll go down the mountain and get some people to help us carry them."
It was getting late, and if they were the only ones to carry it down, it would probably take until midnight. While that would eliminate the danger of the wild boar, it would increase other dangers. So it would be better to chop it up here and call more people to carry it, which would be faster.
After listening to this, the village chief nodded. This method is indeed the fastest method at present.
"But those people in the village didn't contribute anything. Should we give them a share just because we asked them to move some pork?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone began to complain.
Yes, they almost lost their lives here, so naturally they are unwilling to share pork with others.
The village chief was also a little hesitant. Da Wa was a little anxious looking at the scene in front of him, but he didn't know how to solve it. He looked at Xia Manni for help.
"Stop talking nonsense! It'll be dark soon. If you feel tired, just carry less. Those who work harder will get more pork, and those who work less will get less. The village chief is watching you, so what are you afraid of? If no one comes to help, we'll just wait here to die guarding this pork."
Xia Manni's words were powerful, especially after seeing how she had just chopped the wild boar, no one said anything for a moment.
Xia Manni picked up the machete and started to kill the wild boar in no time. Her movements were really unsightly and even very bloody.
But they slaughtered the boar very quickly, one cut at a time. Then someone else started slaughtering the pig with a knife. It turned out that Zhang Cuiling took the knife brought by her son and started slaughtering the wild boar.
"Okay, hurry up and make use of your time. You are no better than a woman." After the village chief spoke, no one complained.
Erwa and Ergouzi even took a few children down the mountain to call for help, and took a lot of more backpacks with them.
When Erwa first went down the mountain to call for help, some people still didn't believe that the people who went up the mountain to hunt wild boars could have eliminated all the wild boars so quickly.
Were there so many wild boars that they had to go down the mountain to find someone to help carry them? No matter how they thought about it, it was unbelievable. Although all the hunters in the village were included in the team going up the mountain, there were still two women who were in the way.
"Uncles and aunts, you may not believe it, but the village chief has said that those who don't go up the mountain will not have the chance to share the pork." Erwa asked Ergouzi to hold the gong, and he spoke while beating the gong.
Erwa's words did have some effect, and in the end, more than a dozen people followed Erwa and his friends up the mountain.
When they went up the mountain, they saw Xia Manni and others slaughtering a wild boar with one knife at a time.
The scene was unprecedented even when slaughtering pigs during the Chinese New Year. Especially Xia Manni, not only was she covered in blood, but even her eyes looked terrifying.
Her movements were so skillful that it seemed as if she was holding not a wild boar but a piece of tofu.
"Don't just stand there, carry these wild boars with me." The village chief was worried that someone would cause trouble during the process, so he decided to take the first group of people down the mountain.
At this time, the people who had just gone up the mountain realized that the second child of the Xia family had not lied to them and they really had a great harvest.
Two groups of people plus a dozen children carried all the wild boar meat away in just one trip.
In order to better divide the wild boar, the village chief placed all the pork in the square.
In a moment, the square was crowded with people. It was already dark at this time, and the villagers didn't even eat to come out to see the wild boar.
"Oh my! Our village has really become rich. We actually have so much pork."
"Yes, yes, the village chief must give me a piece of meat later. My wife is in confinement after giving birth."
"Only your family has children, and we have an old mother who can't get out of bed."
…
Suddenly the square was bustling with activity, and the village chief asked people to bring torches.
"Shut up, everyone." No one dared to disobey the village chief's words, and the square, which was bustling just now, immediately became quiet.
