Chapter 86 Wild Boar
He was carrying a full basket of firewood, and the weight of the piled firewood like a mountain bent his back.
The sleeves and hem of his jacket were torn into stripes, and on his feet he was wearing a pair of straw sandals.
Seeing the glamorous Luo Shuangshuang again, Yuan Cheng was overjoyed yet also felt uneasy, and in an instant all of this turned into deep inferiority in his heart.
"Big Orange, why don't you speak?"
"Ah, Shuangshuang, I still have to send the firewood back, so I won't..."
"Okay, I won't delay your work, you can go back first!"
Before he could finish his excuse, Luo Shuangshuang waved at him considerately to show that she didn't mind.
After the people walked away, he turned to look at his friend who was watching the show nearby, "What's that look in your eyes?"
"An ordinary look."
Suning pointed at the man's back not far away and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"
"I don't know. He has been so weird since the day I met him."
She didn't need to look back to know that Yuan Cheng was definitely about to leave again, and was standing not far away, secretly glancing at her.
Luo Shuangshuang threw the braid in front of her chest behind her and sighed helplessly.
When Yuan Cheng was very young, his father went up the mountain to chop firewood and accidentally fell off a cliff and died. Not long after, his mother also ran away, leaving only his grandmother, who had cried her eyes blind, to depend on.
After learning about his tragic life story, she did unconsciously pay more attention and give special care to this friend, always giving him more candies and pastries than to others.
But his character really doesn't match her temper, and she has always lacked patience. When she meets such a sullen and naturally awkward person, she is willing to ask for advice once or twice, but every time she does this, it makes the people who get along with him feel very tired.
To the point that later on, whenever I saw him, I would unconsciously want to avoid him.
"Never mind him, let's hurry up and catch the crabs. There's only so little in the basket, not enough to fry a bowl of crabs!"
"OK."
After hearing her say that, Suning naturally stopped paying attention to her. Just as she was about to look away, she saw the man suddenly throw away the backpack on his back and turn around and run quickly towards them.
"There seems to be something wrong with Grapefruit."
"Um?"
Luo Shuangshuang picked up a slippery rock with both hands and put it gently aside when she found two crabs, one big and one small. Before she could catch them, she immediately raised her head and turned to look when she heard this.
Sure enough, Yuan Cheng was running towards the two of them with a panicked look on his face.
"Hurry, both of you get up!"
"What's wrong, Big Orange?"
"Gong! There's a gong!"
The sound of a gong?
Suddenly she remembered that she had heard it once before. That time, the gong was struck because a wild boar came down the mountain.
With a shock all over his body, Luo Shuangshuang waded across the stream, hurriedly put on his shoes, grabbed Su Ning who was not knowing where he was, followed Yuan Cheng and ran out of the mountain.
"Hoo~Hoo~Grapefruit...what...happened?"
Su Ning was being pulled to run quickly on the mountain path. He was gasping for breath and looked at the two people rushing forward in front of him with confusion.
"Bang the gong, something must have happened in the team!"
Which gong should be struck?
How come she didn't hear it?
Fortunately, the two of them didn't walk too far. They ran so desperately that they reached the end of the village in a short while.
The sound of gongs and drums could be heard clearly, and faintly cheers and noises from the threshing ground could be heard.
It looks like something happened, but it seems to be... a good thing?
Luo Shuangshuang patted her chest, her face flushed from running and her heart pounding. She stopped and turned around to see men, women, young and old rushing to the threshing ground. "Let's go check it out, Ning Baogai!"
"good."
…
On the wide flat ground of the threshing ground, there were a pile of wild boars, one big and two small.
The big wild boar weighed about 600 to 700 kilograms. Its two long and sharp fangs were very scary, and the bristles on its head stood up and were very sharp.
Both of his eyes were pierced by arrows, and there was a black hole on his neck from which blood was gushing out.
"As expected of the captain of the hunting team, Yan Xizi is an amazing archer! So amazing!"
"Hahahaha~ I haven't eaten meat in such a long time. The autumn harvest is almost here. God is really giving me face!"
"What does this have to do with God? If anyone should thank someone, it should be Da Xizi!"
"That's right! They are just unlucky to have run into the Yan family, father and son. Why don't you try another family?"
The crowd watching was talking about it at once, with unconcealable joy on their faces.
This is meat. Three wild boars, one big and two small, must weigh at least a thousand pounds together!
There are more than 60 households in the team. If we don't count them by number of people but by household registration, each household can get a lot.
Suning and Luo Shuangshuang, who had finally squeezed into the crowd, listened to the discussions around them and finally understood what was going on.
It seems that Uncle Yan went out without saying a word before, and went up the mountain to look for game?
"Ning Baogai, my uncle is there! Let's go over there quickly!"
Yan Xi was standing not far away, talking to the team leader, while Yan Wen and Yan Wu were also chatting excitedly in the group of friends.
"Uncle!" "Uncle Yan."
"It's Youyou and Xiaoning, you two are here, come on, come here quickly!"
After nodding to the captain, Yan Xi waved to the two of them.
I originally just wanted to catch a rabbit and a pheasant, but I never expected to be so lucky as to run into a large and two small wild boars that were out foraging for food.
I just discussed with the team leader that their family can be allocated a whole small wild boar. After removing the bones and bleeding, there should be about 100 to 200 pounds of meat, right?
Now, not only can I entertain the two little girls well, but I can also pickle enough oil for the autumn harvest, and I won't even have to worry about meat for the New Year.
By the way, we can send more to Yue’s family and my sister’s family!
Thinking of this, Yan Xi couldn't hide the joy on his face, and his expression when looking at Luo Shuangshuang became even more loving.
"Uncle, why are you bleeding so much? Where are you injured? How did you run into a wild boar?"
"Don't worry, uncle is not injured. The blood is from the wild boar. He has a bow and arrow, and he didn't fight it in close combat, so how could he get injured?"
"That's good, that's good! I was scared to death!"
Seeing Yan Xi's entire sweat shirt covered with black and red blood, Luo Shuangshuang was so scared that her legs went weak. She didn't care whether he could eat meat or not, as long as her uncle was fine.
When I regained my composure, I realized something was wrong. "Uncle! How could you go up the mountain without calling us?"
"ah?"
"Ning Baogai and I also want to go into the mountains and take a walk around the foot of the mountain!"
"Hahahaha, okay, okay, next time I go into the mountains I'll definitely bring you two with me, okay?"
Nodding proudly, Luo Shuangshuang knew in her heart that the possibility of going up the mountain again this time was very small, and she looked at her friend apologetically.
The wild ginseng that Ning Baogai had been thinking about may have to fly away.
"Xiao Ning, we'll kill the pig and divide the meat. The team will cook a pig-killing dish. You must try it!"
"Yes! Ning Baogai's pig-killing dish is delicious. You have to eat more later!"
"good…"
Before he could finish his words, the captain walked up to the platform and raised his hands to press down on the crowd.
"Let's not waste any more time talking nonsense. Let's follow the old rules. There will be one big and two small ones. The smaller one will be given to Yan Xi alone, and the rest will be divided into 12 kilograms for each household. The rest will be made into a big pot of butchering dishes!"
"Each household sends one person to line up and divide the meat!"
"Boom~"
They were just waiting for the captain to say this. Everyone clapped their hands happily, and the person who received the meat from each family hurried to line up in front of the scorer.
The children from each family also rushed into their homes howling to get basins and bowls.
The scene of dividing the meat was as lively as the New Year holidays.
The wild boar that Yan Xi was given was the larger of the two. There was no need to wait for the butcher to help. The father and his two sons slaughtered it on the spot with great skill.
There are many pigs raised in Taoyuan Space, and they have been sold several times. Suning has never slaughtered them himself. He just cuts and stacks them neatly in the underground storage room.
So watching Uncle Yan slaughtering the wild boar cubs made me feel curious and scared.
Especially when bleeding the wild boar, the wailing sounds are really frightening.
Yan Wen went home early to get a plastic basin and a burlap bag, and as soon as the blood came out, he immediately went forward to catch it in the basin.
After the blood is drained, add salt to the basin and set it aside for a few minutes, and a large basin of pig blood will solidify.
"Ning Baogai, do you know what I'm thinking about?"
Su Ning, who was watching intently, almost laughed out loud when he heard the guy swallowing his saliva beside him, "What are you thinking about? It can't escape the fact that it's about food."
"Hehe~ You'll know once you've eaten the blood sausage made by grandma!"
Holding her hand excitedly, Luo Shuangshuang felt that it was the right decision to come back this time, as she could eat the pig-killing dish and taste her grandmother's specialty!
