Chapter 85: 84: There is wild boar meat to eat
"Oh!" Zhao Huifang hurriedly picked up the basket and walked down the mountain.
"Huaian, let me take a look at your wound!" Yang Chunyan found the wound on Zhou Huaian's calf. Because of walking hard for a long time, the wound opened and started bleeding again. "I'll sprinkle some hemostatic medicine on you."
She was a little worried that his legs would become lame again like in his previous life.
Zhou Huaian waved his hand nonchalantly, "No need, I'll do it when we get home."
"Sprinkle some first to stop the bleeding before you go." Yang Chunyan didn't say anything, she untied her handkerchief, took off the wet ground ivy, and sprinkled the hemostatic powder on the wound.
Zhang Xiuxiang took a look and said, "Oh, it's bleeding again. The youngest one can't use any more strength on his legs."
Zhou Huaian was worried after hearing this: "What should we do with the eels and corn tomorrow?"
Li Qiuyue smiled and said, "It's just a few dozen kilograms of eels and corn. Chunyan and I will push the chicken cart into the city to sell them!"
Zhou Huaian pointed at the wild boar and said, "We still have to sell pork. Plus the corn and eels at home, there are at least 300 kilograms. You two can't push it."
"That's true." Li Qiuyue thought for a moment, "Then let the third brother take us into the city."
"That's fine. If I have something to do and can't leave in the future, Third Brother can also send things to the city to sell."
Yang Chunyan suddenly remembered something, "Huaian, I think we can go to Ning'an and ask the fishmongers how many kilograms of eels they can buy at a time? If there are a lot, we can collect eels in the team and sell them in the city."
"Why didn't I think of that!" Zhou Huaian looked at her with shining eyes, "It only sells for a little over 20 cents per pound in town, and it has to go to market day to be delivered to town. We can buy it at the town's price at home, and after deducting the loss, we can still make a few cents of profit."
"Uh-huh!"
"Youngest, how's your leg?" At this time, Zhou's father arrived with Zhou Huairong and the other two. The four of them were still a little scared when they saw the wild boar lying on the ground.
Zhou Huaian pointed at his bandaged calf and said, "It's okay. It was just pierced by a fang."
Father Zhou and Zhou Huairong looked at the wound on Zhou Huaian's leg and said gently, "Can you still walk? How about asking your eldest brother to carry you back?"
Zhou Huaian scratched his head in discomfort, "No need, it's so far, I can walk back carrying the wild boar!"
Father Zhou patted him on the shoulder and said, "Go back and have a good rest."
"Understood." Zhou Huaian responded.
Zhou Huaishan squatted down and looked at the wild boar. "My god, what did you use to poke it? You have poked it into a sieve, and its asshole has been poked to pieces."
Zhou Huaian looked very proud, "The knife plus the medicine hoe and pickaxe, plus the wild boar was injured, otherwise we would have no other options."
Father Zhou looked at the black beast trap on the pig's hoof and felt relieved. "Luckily you were injured! Otherwise, it would be a blessing that you could escape today."
Zhou Huaian and his companions also understood, "By the time we discovered it had already rushed down, it would be too late to run away."
The more Zhou's father thought about it, the more scared he became. He hesitated for a moment and said, "It seems I have to go get a mountain dog and bring it back for you to take with you up the mountain."
After hearing this, Zhou Huairong said, "Old man, I remember that the mountain-chasing dog at Xu Shan's house gave birth to puppies some time ago."
"I'll go check it out tomorrow and bring back one." Father Zhou said, looking at Zhou Huaian and the others, "You guys go down the mountain first, and we'll carry the wild boar back."
"Okay, then we'll go first." Zhou Huaian glanced at Yang Chunyan, then limped back with the hoe. Yang Chunyan hurried forward to support him.
Father Zhou watched the three men leave, turned around and said, "Let's lift it up and go." As he spoke, he squatted down and put the stick on his shoulder. The four of them, father and sons, lifted the wild boar and walked back.
Zhou Huairong: "This pig is at least 170 or 180. Fortunately, it was injured!"
Zhou Huaishan: "We encountered a wounded wild boar while digging herbs. The youngest and his friends are really lucky these days!"
Zhou Huaijun looked at the wild boar with excitement, "Old man, we have to send corn and eels to Ning'an tomorrow, so it's a good time to pack up the wild boar and send it to the county town to sell."
Zhou Huaishan: "Old man, the fat meat that the youngest one bought is 1.1 yuan per pound. The wild boar meat is skinny, I'm afraid it won't be easy to sell!"
"Yes!" Zhou's father said, "When it comes to selling things, the youngest one is the most talkative."
Zhou Huaishan also thought of what Li Qiuyue said about Zhou Huaian being able to sell things, "Old man, tell the youngest to take the chicken bus tomorrow, and I'll push him to Ning'an."
Father Zhou nodded. "If you can push him, push him all the way. And ask Doctor Wang to check him out."
Zhou Huairong said worriedly, "Old man, I see the cut on the youngest's leg is quite long, I wonder if his tendons have been injured?"
Father Zhou looked at the people walking forward and said, "No, they can't walk because their hamstrings are injured."
The father and his sons carried the wild boar back.
Yang Chunyan and others who were walking in front had already helped Zhou Huaian back home. Zhou's mother and several children were waiting at the back door.
Seeing them coming back, Zhou's mother came forward worriedly, "Youngest, what happened to your legs? How did you run into a wild boar?"
"He was stabbed by a wild boar's tusks." Zhou Huaian's face turned pale. "Maybe someone was hunting in the mountains. I don't know how he got out?"
Li Qiuyue interrupted: "Mom, that wild boar..."
"My God, even injured wild boars are still so fierce. Remember, never go into the mountains again."
"Got it!"
A few people entered the yard, and Zhao Huifang took the hare out of the basket, "Mom, we also caught a hare."
Zhou's mother took it and said, "The rabbits are fat these days."
Zhou Huaian said, "Mom, let's eat the whole spicy rabbit."
"You can't even finish the wild boar tripe, and you still want to eat spicy rabbit." Seeing his pale face, Zhou's mother softened her heart and said gently, "You have an injury on your leg, you can't eat hot food."
"Oh!" Zhou Huaian looked at his mother, who was rarely in a good mood, and felt a little uncomfortable.
Yang Chunyan poured some hot water and put a handful of salt in it, "Huai'an, wash it and apply the medicine again."
"Hmm!" Zhou Huaian leaned tiredly on the chair, squinting his eyes as he watched Yang Chunyan apply medicine to him.
The four father and sons behind them had just come down the mountain carrying the wild boar when they met Aunt Zhou who was picking vegetables from the vegetable field with a basket.
"Hey~" Aunt Zhou looked at the wild boar carried by the father and his four sons in surprise, "Second brother, are you going up the mountain to hunt wild boars?"
"How could I have that ability!" Zhou's father laughed bitterly at himself. "The youngest son was not good enough and gave the money for repairing the house to the old bear. Chunyan said she would take the youngest son to the mountains to find some herbs to sell, but we were unlucky and met a wild boar, and he was almost eaten by it."
Aunt Zhou said sourly: "You say you are unlucky to have brought back such a big wild boar." If you were unlucky, what you were carrying would not be a wild boar.
"May the mountain god bless you!"
Father Zhou and his friends hurried back home. As soon as they entered the backyard, several children ran over and exclaimed in amazement at the big black wild boar, "It's so big!"
"How scary!" The girls were curious and scared.
"Grandpa, is wild boar meat delicious?"
“How can meat not taste good?”
The four of them carried the wild boar to the front yard. As soon as they put it down, several boys surrounded it. Zhou Jiakang touched the boar's fur and immediately drew back his hand, "Damn, it's so hard!"
Zhou Jialiang pointed at the piece of meat hanging from the pig's mouth and said, "Look, half of its mouth was knocked off by Dad."
Several boys looked at Zhou Huaian, "Dad, you are so awesome!"
Zhou Huaian scratched his head awkwardly, "I wish my dad was that awesome!"
Zhao Huifang patted Zhou Jiaming and pointed at the pig's trotter and said, "Look, there's a trap on the trotter, and half of the pig's mouth was knocked off by the hunter's sand gun.
He chased after your father and aunt for a long time and bit your father's leg, leaving a big cut. Don't sneak up the mountain in the future, understand?"
She was worried that the children would think wild boars were easy to hunt and would secretly go up the mountain to hunt in the future, which would be bad!
Zhou Huaian pointed at his calf and said, "Look, if your aunt hadn't hit the wild boar with a hoe, Dad's leg would have been bitten off."
Yang Chunyan took over the conversation, "And your mother and the others also helped with the hoes. We used several hoes to attack the wild boar. The hoes almost dug it into a sieve, but it still had the strength to escape. It died only after it bled out."
After seeing this, several children showed fearful expressions and said, "We will not sneak up the mountain anymore."
