Not only the Yan brothers shared this view, but Liu Guangtian held the same opinion. They all believed that everyone was simply trying to curry favor with Wei Hua. If it were really that easy, who knows how many people would have set traps for him.
Wei Hua didn't care at all about what others said. Others couldn't get prey, but Wei Hua could. That's because Wei Hua kept a lot of wild animals in his spatial dimension, including countless wild boars and rabbits.
If Wei Hua hadn't deliberately controlled their reproduction rate, those things in the space would probably have already become an uncontrollable plague.
After Wei Hua and Sha Zhu set up the trap, Wei Hua secretly released a few wild rabbits inside. Unlike wild boars, rabbits don't make a sound even if they fall into the trap.
After setting the traps, everyone left without checking them, because no one expected any animals to get in so quickly.
After everyone left, Wei Hua deliberately checked the area, and then, once they were far away, he hung a wild boar on his hook. He then quickly caught up with the others.
Nobody took it seriously. They had nothing else to do during the holiday, so they treated it as a trip to the mountains for fun.
The next day, everyone went up the mountain with Wei Hua. When they saw the rabbits in the trap, they became very excited because it was the first time for any of them.
Seeing their success, everyone's enthusiasm was piqued. Soon, they spotted a second rabbit. Even though the rabbit had already been strangled in the trap, their excitement didn't wane; instead, they became even more thrilled.
When everyone saw the wild boar in the trap, their excitement was beyond words; their enthusiasm was fully mobilized.
Sha Zhu was the first to run to the wild boar. He then sized up the boar, which weighed over 200 pounds. Although the population had recovered, everyone was still eager for the implementation of the plan.
"Everyone come quickly and take a look. There's a wild boar here weighing over 200 pounds. Let's carry it back quickly so that everyone can have a prosperous year."
Upon hearing Sha Zhu's words, the others rushed over, and when they saw the wild boar, smiles appeared on everyone's faces.
Fortunately, everyone had brought plenty of tools. After chopping down some wood with knives, they tied the wild boar up with ropes and carried it towards the courtyard. Even though the boar was dead, everyone was very excited. Wei Hua secretly took out two wild rabbits and followed behind them towards the courtyard. The physically demanding task of carrying the wild boar was naturally left to them.
Wei Hua, on the other hand, carried four wild rabbits on his back and followed behind at a leisurely pace.
When Sha Zhu and the other three carried the wild boar into the courtyard, the entire courtyard was in an uproar. No one expected they would have such a haul.
Those who had been making sarcastic remarks immediately shut their mouths and put on a different expression. Even the deaf old lady ran out from the backyard. Seeing Sha Zhu dealing with the wild boar, she immediately smiled.
“Zhu Zi, where did you get such a big wild boar? I think it weighs at least two hundred pounds.”
"Hurry up and cook this wild boar, and don't forget to give me two pounds of meat. Grandma hasn't eaten wild boar meat for years, and she's really craving it when she sees this one."
Hearing the deaf old woman's words, Sha Zhu didn't even turn his head. He continued working there with the knife. Sha Zhu, who hadn't been completely brainwashed by Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old woman, wasn't so easily fooled by her.
Sha Zhu discovered that these beasts in the courtyard liked to target acquaintances the most. The better your relationship with them, the sharper their knives would stab you. On the contrary, if you had no relationship with them, they couldn't get close to you.
Instead of wasting time arguing with this deaf old lady, I'd rather finish preparing this wild boar and have a good lunch. Arguing with her might just cost me a couple less pounds of wild boar meat.
Seeing that Sha Zhu hadn't responded for a while, the deaf old woman looked at the others. The main reason she hadn't tried to get close to Wei Hua was that she knew Wei Hua now disliked her.
This made the deaf old lady look at the Liu brothers beside her. Compared to Xu Damao, who was shrewd, the deaf old lady felt that the Liu brothers were relatively easier to deal with.
Even though the brothers have moved out of the courtyard house, they are still children I watched grow up. It might not be difficult for me to ask them for a pound or two of meat.
"Guangtian, I've watched you grow up since you were little, and I know you're both filial children. Don't forget to give Grandma a pound or two of meat when the time comes, so she can have a taste."
After the deaf old lady finished speaking, she looked at Liu Guangtian and his brother expectantly. But the two brothers completely ignored her and didn't even glance at her.
Seeing that they were ignoring her, the deaf old lady walked over to Wei Hua.
“Hua Zi, among the people in the courtyard, you and your husband are the kindest. You certainly wouldn’t watch Grandma suffer like these people do.”
"Old woman, does being kind mean you have to take advantage of me? If that's the case, I'd rather be the bad guy. Why should we give you what we worked so hard to get? Just because you're shameless?"
After saying that, Wei Hua didn't bother with the deaf old woman anymore. If she dared to take things herself, Wei Hua wouldn't stop her. The old woman would be punished by heaven, and Wei Hua could make a fortune.
Wei Hua underestimated the deaf old lady's shamelessness. Seeing that everyone was ignoring her, the deaf old lady just stood there watching. After Liu Guangfu finished processing the first rabbit, he simply grabbed it and ran off.
Sha Zhu and Xu Damao originally wanted to stop her, but they didn't dare to lay a hand on the deaf old woman. The old woman was old enough, and everyone knew her character. If they dared to stop her, that wicked old woman would definitely lie on the ground.
This made everyone involuntarily look at Wei Hua. But Wei Hua seemed unaware of what was happening. Just as everyone was about to say something, a bolt of lightning struck the old woman squarely.
This immediately panicked others who were trying to take advantage of the situation. Everyone quickly realized that doing bad things seemed to have consequences. It seemed like something always happened after people did something wrong?
This appears to be the third time the deaf old woman has been struck by lightning. Although Yi Zhonghai was the main victim the first time, the deaf old woman was also implicated.
An ordinary person would never be struck by lightning in their lifetime, but the deaf old lady was struck by lightning three times in a few years, leaving everyone feeling a bit scared.
Yan Bugui, who had originally intended to take advantage of the situation, immediately stopped in his tracks. When the cost of crime is too high, everyone will consider whether or not to commit a crime, because the consequences are not something that ordinary people can accept.
Liu Haizhong originally wanted to ask his two sons for some wild boar meat, but after seeing the fate of the deaf old lady, even Liu Haizhong dared not say anything more.
Thunder is rare in winter. Plus, people in the courtyard often get struck by lightning, so when they heard thunder, people nearby gathered around. They saw someone slaughtering a pig in the front yard and were all very envious, but envy alone couldn't help.
Seeing people discussing it in the Intermediate People's Court, the surrounding neighbors all went over. They had just seen the deaf old woman covered in black smoke. Many of them looked like they knew everything.
Soon, more and more people gathered at the Intermediate People's Court, and even people from the neighborhood committee came. When they saw the deaf old woman's dark body, the people from the neighborhood committee skillfully dismantled the door of the deaf old woman's house and then carried her out of the courtyard.
As for the roasted rabbit in the deaf old lady's hands, Wei Hua took it from her. This naturally roasted rabbit was absolutely delicious. In front of everyone, Wei Hua sprinkled some salt and other seasonings on it, roasted it over the fire, and began to share this rare delicacy with everyone.
Nobody knew about barbecue in this era. Even the chef, Sha Zhu, thought it tasted pretty good. So Sha Zhu roasted the remaining three rabbits. It has to be said that Sha Zhu's cooking skills were quite good; he roasted all four rabbits quite well.
There were far more than a dozen kilograms of meat that the group of them could possibly finish. After Wei Hua gave his permission, Sha Zhu called Yu Li over, and Xu Damao also called his father. Even Liu Guangtian called his wife, Yu Haitang.
With so many people, a dozen or so kilograms of roasted meat didn't seem enough. Luckily, there was a wild boar weighing over 200 kilograms nearby. Excluding the internal organs and other parts, it weighed at least 170 or 180 kilograms.
Everyone worked so hard to make this happen, and Wei Hua wasn't stingy at all; he even had Xu Damao call his mother and sister over.
This was a rare gathering in the courtyard. Except for Wei Hua and his wife, everyone ate to their hearts' content. No one knew how many years it had been since they had eaten like this. Some had never even experienced such luxury before.
