So the two brothers worked together, just like they had done years ago, and solved the problem of the wild boar that Song Lili thought was impossible to deal with.
Zhang Qingguo stayed by the trap to prevent the wild boar from escaping, while Zhang Qinghua sharpened the branches with the sickle he had brought before returning to the trap.
Seizing the opportunity, he lunged forward, striking the wild boar squarely in the throat. Zhang Qingguo, also taking advantage of the moment, slipped the noose he had just tied around the wild boar's neck.
The two brothers seized the sound, ran quickly away, tied themselves to a large tree, and pulled on it tightly.
They saw that Song Lili was holding onto the uncle by herself, and the tree was being pulled and swayed, with the leaves rustling. This showed just how strong the wild boar was.
Song Lili was stunned by the smooth operation of the two. They looked like experts, not like it was their first time doing something like this.
They are extremely skilled in their work.
The two brothers tied the rope tightly to the big tree and sat down to rest.
Song Lili 9 finally understood that these two people wanted to wear down the wild boar.
The noose that Zhang Qingguo tied around his neck must have gotten tighter the more he struggled.
"You used to do this all the time?" Song Lili couldn't help but ask, expressing her surprise.
Zhang Qingguo nodded, "When we were starving, my older brother and I often came here and killed wild boars in the same way."
That's why we saw what just happened; the two of them didn't need to discuss it before knowing what to do next.
Song Lili remained silent.
She didn't experience the hunger herself and didn't know what the situation was like, so she had absolutely no say in it.
But thinking about it, it's easy to understand why people would do anything, no matter how dangerous, just to survive.
Thinking about it makes me feel a little heartbroken for Zhang Qinghua.
"Now we can have lots of meat to eat, that's great!"
Since we can't touch on those difficult things, let's talk about something that will make everyone happy.
Song Lili squinted at the wild boar struggling in the trap, as if she were looking at a lot of money, all of which was shining brightly.
Her appearance actually amused Zhang Qinghua, who couldn't help but chuckle, "Yes, there's a lot of meat. You should think about how to arrange it."
Seeing her happy makes me feel good too, and her smile makes me smile involuntarily.
How can I still be in a bad mood?
"I need to think about it carefully, what's the best way to deal with this wild boar?" Song Lili rested her chin on her hand, genuinely deep in thought.
The wild game they caught last time was either given away or eaten by their own family.
Therefore, there wasn't much left at all.
This time, she should have plenty of opportunities to deal with this wild boar.
"Then let's make smoked bacon. That way, it can be preserved for a long time, and we can take it out and eat it whenever we want." She had another consideration in mind.
However, now is not the time to say.
“Okay, whatever you say.” Zhang Qinghua nodded. “You sit down first. Qingguo and I will go take a look and resolve this once and for all, so we can go home quickly.”
The group had been delayed for quite some time, and now the sun was already setting, and it was getting dark.
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
Song Lili didn't move because she knew she couldn't help and would only make the two of them worry.
Therefore, she wisely sat there, reaping the benefits of others' misfortune.
Over there, one of the brothers restrained the wild boar that was running around wildly, while the other seized the opportunity and used the old sickle he had brought to deliver a fatal blow to the wild boar.
There was a scream, followed by a loud crash. As time passed, the sound grew fainter and fainter until it disappeared completely.
"Lili, you can come over now," Zhang Qinghua called out.
Song Lili then dusted herself off, stood up, and ran over excitedly, only to see the wild boar already lying motionless in the trap.
"So, he's dead?"
"Not yet, but it doesn't have any offensive capabilities anymore. Let's wait a little longer until it's completely dead, then we can carry it home."
Song Lili knew that it would be quite difficult to get the wild boar out of the trap now, because the boar's struggle would consume a lot of its energy.
Next, they still need to carry the wild boar home, so every little bit of effort they can save is precious.
About ten minutes later, Zhang Qinghua said, "That's about enough. Now we can pull it up."
The wild boar's belly was completely empty; it was dead beyond any doubt.
The two brothers grabbed the rope and pulled the wild boar up like drawing water from a well, leaving it covered in dirt.
"call"
Zhang Qingguo threw down the rope and breathed a sigh of relief. "This pig is really heavy, but we were really lucky this time."
Although I'm tired, I'm happy.
On the way back, Song Lili carried the rabbits they had hunted on her back, while Zhang Qinghua and his brother tied the wild boar to two thick tree branches and carried it down the mountain.
Song Lili originally wanted to keep a low profile, but she didn't expect to be seen by others as soon as she came down the mountain. Now, the news that they had hunted a wild boar spread like wildfire.
Song Lili sighed helplessly, "This is going to be quite a show."
The people of Hongqi Village, because they grow greenhouse vegetables, live a life that is not as impoverished as that of other villages, but they are not wealthy either.
Meat was a rare commodity, eaten only once a year during festivals and holidays; it was rarely seen on ordinary days.
Now that everyone has seen such a big wild boar, they all want a piece of it, which is why Song Lili said that.
"Forget it, everyone has their own difficulties. If they want some, let's share it," Zhang Qinghua said helplessly. Why did they have to be the ones to see this?
Zhang Qingguo was much more carefree: "As long as they don't take advantage of us, it's fine to share some of the profits; it's no big deal."
Song Lili choked, wishing she could punch Zhang Qingguo to death. Was his brain all straight? Couldn't he think outside the box?
There must be a reason why she doesn't want others to know.
"Let's go." Seeing Song Lili gritting her teeth, Zhang Qinghua couldn't help but laugh.
"Sigh, let's go." What else could she say? She couldn't say anything; she could just wait at home.
When they got home, the whole family was shocked. "Is this the wild boar you hunted today?" Zhang Shengtian asked in surprise.
Zhang Qinghua nodded. "Boss, you should send people over to kill them. Many people saw it, and I reckon someone will be here soon."
Without needing to explain it clearly, Zhang Shengtian understood what Zhang Qinghua meant and nodded.
"Okay, I'll go find your Uncle Fang and ask him for help." With that, he hurriedly left.
Song Lili ignored the people in the yard, carried her basket to the kitchen, took out the rabbits from inside, and placed them where no one could see them.
"How do you plan to divide it?" Zhang Qinghua asked as he followed Song Lili into the kitchen.
"Let's divide it in half, otherwise I'm afraid it won't be enough. We'll make the other half into cured meat."
Song Lili also figured it out. It would be better to share some with others. After all, everyone had seen it. It wasn't good to keep it all to yourself, or people would talk about it.
