He didn't realize it himself, but the sounds around him seemed to be deliberately trying to get into his ears.
"These are the pigs Lin Tuan and his men brought back? They're so big, they must weigh several hundred pounds!"
Suspicious drooling sounds and rumbling stomachs rose and fell.
Lin Zhengde, the head of the Lin Tuan group, also came out with his instructor.
"You calculate for me whether this counts as taking advantage of the people, so we can avoid making the same mistake again."
He knew very well that his mind was only suited for the battlefield or the training ground.
In other aspects of life, my mind isn't as sharp as the instructor's, so whenever I encounter something I'm unsure about, I consciously seek advice, much like someone with high IQ but low EQ these days.
After listening to him for a while, Instructor Cheng Jin began to doubt whether he was exaggerating.
When they arrived and saw it, they were surprised.
"Is it really that big?"
"Yes, I said I'd leave it all to them, but the village chief and that young educated youth both tried to persuade me, saying that we should eliminate them together and they shouldn't keep them all for themselves."
They really wanted the one that the young educated youth had killed, saying it was their village's trophy. I felt uneasy about that. If we hadn't failed to stop it at the foot of the mountain, that wild boar should have been eliminated there. Why disturb the villagers in the middle of the night? It might have caused further panic.
Cheng Jin glanced at the pig, waved his hand, and told someone to take it to the kitchen.
"Go on, treat the brothers to something nice!"
Master Zhang happily agreed.
"Alright, just you wait and see!"
Looking back at their commander,
"Not bad, you've thought things through thoroughly, and you've handled it well."
Commander Lin was a little insecure.
"Is that right? I just don't feel quite right."
Cheng Jin sighed.
"Who would have thought the wild boars would come down the mountain? Are they saying, 'Thank goodness you were here, otherwise the village would have been in even worse shape'?"
"Yes, that's what the village chief said."
He frowned, thought for a moment, and then hesitated before speaking.
"However, I get the feeling that the young educated youth doesn't seem worried at all,"
"Is that the educated youth you mentioned who killed the wild boar with a single blow?"
"Yes, it's her,"
"Hey, isn't that normal? What's the normal reaction when a person sees a wild boar? Wouldn't they all run away as fast as they can and shout for help everywhere?"
"So, someone who can calmly wait and then kill with a single blow—are they an ordinary person? Without some skill, would they dare?"
Unbeknownst to them, the wild boars they had been talking about and the young educated youth were once again locked in a fierce battle.
Here's what happened.
The whole Liujiatun village was in an uproar in the morning. Liu Weimin didn't hesitate. He talked to a few village cadres and picked out the smallest one to send to Secretary Lin of the commune. The remaining two were divided up as meat.
In the North, the "pig-killing feast" is an indispensable part of slaughtering a pig, and it has to be served too; it's a ritual ingrained in our bones!
You bring a bunch of scallions, I bring a cabbage, she brings two radishes, and soon we have two large pots full. As for the standard pickled cabbage, well, sorry, the pig went into the pot early today, the pickled cabbage has only just been put into the vat...
To be honest, since the communal canteen was disbanded, the villagers have had very few opportunities to eat together.
Right now, the wives of each family are gathered around washing and picking vegetables, while the men are gathered around the butcher. The village chief just said that the meat will be distributed soon.
This is meat!
Liu Weimin also wanted to eat, but seeing a group of men gathered around was too embarrassing, so he simply sent them all away.
"My wife and mother are both busy, how can you be so shameless?"
"Everything's alright, right? Go, go, go gather firewood!"
Lin Zhengde's men are still guarding the foot of the mountain, but if you really want to go up the mountain, there's more than one way. They've all lived here for decades, and they know almost everything, even how many dog holes there are at the foot of the mountain.
Taking advantage of their numbers, a group of men simply passed behind Jian Dan's house. Jian Dan went back to the base to wash up and didn't notice anything amiss.
I was planning to just have breakfast ready, but as soon as I put it on the table, I heard a loud knocking on the door. Jian Dan appeared in the room in an instant.
"Little Jian, are you there?"
"Little Jian, come out quickly! Wild boars are coming down the mountain! Come out and hide!"
Simple,????
Did the wild boar come down from the mountain?
Her little house has no back window, so you have to go outside to see anything.
Jian didn't think much of it, glanced at her clothes, and thought, "Hmm, presentable."
He lifted his leg and pushed the door open.
"They're here! They're here!"
"Auntie, I was a little groggy just now, what happened? What wild boar?"
The woman outside the door was Sun Xiang, Liu Sanye's daughter-in-law. Upon seeing her, he didn't say much.
"Let's hurry up and get to the village office first. The men have already gone over there to block the wild boar, and the People's Liberation Army comrades over there are also coming. Let's find a place first and not cause them any trouble."
Sun Xiang's voice was still trembling slightly.
"Luckily, the men came up the mountain from this side. They saw wild boars not long after they got up there. They didn't dare to make a sound and ran back as fast as they could. They didn't know if they could wait for someone to come."
I glanced briefly at the back of the mountain.
"Going to find someone? Who's coming?"
"Uncle Weimin said he sent Jianshe to find the team leader at the garrison, the one who's with these comrades guarding the mountain."
Simple, oh, I see. The one who was working alongside me this morning but absolutely refused to collect the pork.
A mountain breeze blew by, carrying a faint, fishy stench. Jian Dan's gaze paused slightly; it seemed he couldn't wait any longer for the captain.
"Auntie, hurry back and tell Uncle Village Chief that the wild boar is coming down soon. I'm going to check the back mountain."
Under Sun Xiang's gaze, a large machete was pulled out from behind the door, and the door was slammed shut with a click. When Sun Xiang realized something was wrong and reached out to pull him back, he had already darted more than ten meters away.
"Hey, Little Jian, Little Jian, where are you going? Come back quickly!"
"Oh my god, this is bad!"
Sun Xiang watched as the person darted away and disappeared from her sight. She turned around and ran back, eager to tell Xiao Jian, the educated youth, that he had also gone up the mountain.
Oh dear, what was I saying just now? It seems like a wild boar is about to come down?
Oh dear! Sun Xiang's legs are also moving around a lot.
He quickly scurried from behind his house to the foot of the mountain and saw several men staggering down the slope, glancing back and shouting in terror.
"Wild boars are coming down the mountain! Wild boars are coming down the mountain!"
Is it not blocked?
The mountain behind the simple little house has no obvious mountain path and is much steeper than the one at the village entrance, so villagers rarely go up the mountain from this side.
Who would have thought that this would happen today because we couldn't get up there and took a chance by going this way?
The soldiers in front were also watching nervously, and the ones on the outermost edge kept glancing towards the village entrance, probably waiting for reinforcements.
Seeing the villagers lower themselves, they immediately followed suit.
Several villagers staggered down, and the pursuers behind them also came into view.
Oooh!
I squinted and counted them, and couldn't help but marvel at my luck. Did I stumble upon a family gathering on the mountain? A full twelve wild boars, big and small!
