Yang Baiyi was not simply comforting Lin Xiao, he really admired him. Being able to hit the target every time in an unfamiliar environment was enough to demonstrate Lin Xiao's excellent military qualities.
"Okay then, let's call it a tie."
Yang Baiyi's praise actually made Lin Xiao feel excited, just like when he first joined the army and received praise from his old squad leader.
"But how are we going to get this big wild boar back? Do we need to go out and find someone to help?"
After the excitement, Lin Xiao was troubled when he saw the wild boar weighing more than 300 kilograms.
"Wait here. I'll have Da Huang and the others pull the sled over."
In order to be able to ride a sled in winter, Yang Baiyi asked Chen Mutou to make him several sleds of different sizes early on.
"Hey! That's not right! How did Yang Baiyi get the wild boar here?
There were no signs of dragging on the ground. Could it be that Yang Baiyi was just lucky and a foraging wild boar happened to come here and bumped into him?
The more Lin Xiao thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case, and he was very angry.
It is true that the blessed people don’t have to worry, while the unlucky people are heartbroken!
They were originally located on the outskirts of Wohu Mountain, not far from Yang Baiyi's home. Soon Lin Xiao heard a burst of dog barking.
Lin Xiao stood up and took a look, and sure enough, it was Yang Baiyi coming with five fat and strong dogs.
"Yang Baiyi, were you simply forced to stay in the right place, and the wild boar came to you on its own initiative?"
As soon as he saw Yang Baiyi, Lin Xiao couldn't wait to confirm his guess.
"Why do you ask?"
Yang Baiyi was a little confused, and his eyes looked a little innocent.
"There were no signs of dragging on the ground, and no traces of blood on the mountain road. Don't tell me you were carrying a wild boar all the way here."
After all, Lin Xiao has been a soldier for many years, so he does have some investigative capabilities.
"Comrade Lin Xiao is indeed an outstanding soldier. You have seen through it. It is indeed the case.
After we separated, I was about to go to the mountains to try my luck, but who knew that a big boar came out to look for food.
This kind of good thing doesn't come often, so I certainly couldn't miss such a good opportunity, so I shot it to death with a crossbow."
Helplessly, Yang Baiyi could only tell a lie. The space and superpowers were his secrets. Even if they were not secrets, it would be too absurd to tell them out loud.
Sometimes lies are easier to accept than the truth.
"I guess that's it."
Lin Xiao showed an expression that said "as expected" and smiled more often.
I just lost because of bad luck. If I had encountered the wild boar, I could have easily killed it with my shooting skills.
"Will this sled hold up?"
Lin Xiao was not worried that the five dogs could not pull the cat, and he didn't know how Yang Baiyi fed the cats. Each of the five dogs was bigger than the other.
"It can withstand it. To make it stronger and reduce friction, I nailed iron sheets underneath the sled."
The two men worked together to lift the wild boar onto the sled. At Yang Baiyi's command, the five dogs worked together and easily pulled the sled forward steadily.
"Those dogs you raised are incredibly strong. They can pull a 300-pound wild boar down a mountain road as if it were flat ground!"
Yang Baiyi initially suggested letting the dogs pull the wild boar back, but Lin Xiao was afraid that they couldn’t pull it back!
"Don't you see how big they are? I don't treat them badly when it comes to food."
Yang Baiyi attributed it all to the good food.
Only he himself knew that the parents of these five dogs were all Chinese native dogs, and the reason they could grow so big was all thanks to their wood-type supernatural powers.
"Where did you get this dog? I don't know what breed it is. It's even bigger than the military dogs serving at our outpost."
Lin Xiao looked at the backs of the dogs and became more and more curious about their breeds.
"It's just an ordinary Chinese pastoral dog. It might be due to a genetic mutation, which has caused a certain degree of atavism."
The origins of these five dogs were no secret. Although he had deceived Lin Xiao for the time being, if Wanru and Xiaoxiao leaked the information when they returned, the image he had worked so hard to build would be destroyed.
"Oh, so that's how it is!"
Lin Xiao seemed to suddenly understand.
In fact, he was just pretending. He could understand Yang Baiyi's words separately, but he couldn't understand them when they were put together.
What about gene mutations, atavism, intellectuals like to speak in vague ways.
Because the bottom of the sled is covered with iron sheets, the friction is much smaller, so it is relatively easy for the dogs to pull it.
"Brother, you guys are amazing for killing such a big wild boar."
As soon as I got home, Lin Wanru, who was resting at home, came out to greet me.
"Yang Baiyi hunted the wild boar, and I only hunted these rabbits and pheasants."
Lin Xiao raised the spoils in his hand somewhat embarrassedly.
"Comrade Lin Xiao is already very good. He shot three prey with three shots. I was lucky to kill this wild boar. It came out to look for food and offered itself to me."
In front of Lin Wanru, Yang Baiyi gave Comrade Lin Xiao enough face.
"That's pretty impressive."
Looking at Yang Baiyi's spotless appearance and then at her brother's tattered clothes, Lin Wanru's praise seemed somewhat insincere.
"Brother, change your clothes and I'll sew them for you."
Lin Wanru tried hard to suppress her smile.
This time my brother went hunting as if he was fleeing from famine.
"Stop sewing. This dress is unwearable. Just throw it away."
Lin Xiao felt a little regretful at this time. Knowing that he was going hunting today, he still changed into a pair of Dacron pants. They were cool, but not very sturdy.
If I had worn a military uniform today, I wouldn't have looked so embarrassed.
"Oh well."
Family environment determines one's attitude towards life. When Lin Xiao said he wanted to throw away the clothes, Lin Wanru didn't think it was a big deal.
It was just a set of clothes, so I could just throw it away. From childhood to adulthood, it seemed like my family had never lacked cloth coupons.
"Bai Yi, what are you going to do with this pig? Are we going to kill it ourselves?"
After serving in the northern border for six years, Lin Xiao has acquired a lot of skills and is no stranger to handling various game.
"It's so hot, we don't want to suffer this, why don't we drag this wild boar to the educated youth compound.
Let them clean up in the afternoon, and we'll go over to eat ready-made food in the evening."
It’s not that Yang Baiyi is being generous, there is simply too much meat at home and the kitchen is full of bacon.
I can’t finish it. I can’t finish it at all.
Another reason is that Lin Xiao came from Luoshui City after all, and he was from the same hometown as the educated youth he was working with. When Cui Jinfa was asked to come over to get the meat last night, he also met Lin Xiao. He would definitely spread the word when he returned.
Forget it, let’s just treat it as a dinner for the educated youth. This wild boar doesn’t have the money anyway.
But it was good enough that he killed the wild boar. If he killed more and sent them over, Yang Baiyi would get into trouble if they spoiled him.
"Okay, you decide which wild boar you want to kill. Since you don't have to kill it yourself, I'm going to go change my clothes."
Lin Xiao put the hare and pheasant in the kitchen and went back to the east room to change his pants.
"Wanru, while the members are still working and there are few people in the village, I will send the wild boar to the educated youth compound."
