Chapter 122 Ji Xuening and Wang Shuo pick up wild boars
Ji Xuening replied, "You're not bad either."
Wang Shuo thought that although Ji Xuening didn't talk much, his words were very pleasant to hear. He chuckled and said, "I'll make do with it."
"They persisted for quite a long time."
Ji Xuening added a sentence.
Wang Shuo was displeased and glared at his back: "Say less."
As he descended the mountain, he kept cursing, calling the wild boar ungrateful and Liu Huo a coward, guessing that he must have run away without helping to call for help.
Ji Xuening listened attentively the whole time, occasionally replying with an "um," "oh," or "yes," obediently saying very few words.
He had always thought his voice was very loud, and was even afraid of disturbing Wang Yuqing. But now, compared to Wang Shuo, he felt that his voice was actually quite small.
Wang Shuo said, "Old Ji, can we say a few more words? Let's chat a bit? Aren't you excited? Aren't you thrilled? Isn't your blood boiling?"
Ji Xuening replied expressionlessly, "It's alright."
Wang Shuo found him boring.
Halfway there, Wang Shuo got a little tired and said to Ji Xuening, "Old Ji, are you not putting in enough effort while you're walking in front? I feel like this wild boar is all on my shoulders. I'm about to fall apart from exhaustion."
Ji Xuening deliberately lowered his shoulders, and Wang Shuo couldn't quite handle it: "Ouch, ouch, no, no..."
After the two of them came down the mountain, they saw Wang Yuqing and Tang Wan.
Wang Shuo's voice had just been booming like thunder: "Tonight, we're having wild boar hotpot, haha!"
The next second, he lowered his voice and said in a high-pitched tone, "Comrade Tang Wan, are you gathering firewood? Look what I found, a big wild boar!"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a surge of power, becoming incredibly strong. He carried the nearly 200-pound wild boar on his shoulder and rushed towards Tang Wan with incredible speed.
His face was flushed, and although he was clearly trying to please her, his features were too rugged. Even when he lowered his voice, it sounded like he was looking for a fight with Tang Wan: "It weighs almost two hundred pounds, I killed it!"
Tang Wan smelled the pungent stench of blood and took a few steps back. She was also frightened by the mangled appearance of the wild boar and even felt a little nauseous.
Wang Shuo was eager to make a name for himself and didn't have time to say, "After I take it to the brigade headquarters to be slaughtered, I'll get you a few pounds of good meat, hehe."
Tang Wan frowned, covered her mouth and nose, and replied with a single word: "Mm".
Wang Yuqing was also a little uncomfortable. She noticed that Ji Xuening's clothes were soaked in blood, and a sense of worry rose in her heart. She took a few steps forward and asked anxiously, "Are you hurt?"
Ji Xuening smiled gently: "No, it's fine. This is wild boar blood, not my blood."
After saying that, he patted his chest, but tried to stay a little further away, afraid that the smell would bother Wang Yuqing.
Wang Yuqing breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that you're not injured."
Seeing that Tang Wan wasn't praising him with the same adoration he'd imagined, Wang Shuo coughed awkwardly a few times and turned around to interject, "You haven't uttered a single word all the way with me. What's wrong? Now that you've met your wife, you're spouting so many words in one breath?"
Ji Xuening ignored Wang Shuo and said, "Let's go back first."
After saying that, he walked a few steps to the two buckets of snails, bent down, picked up the carrying pole, and strode ahead.
Wang Yuqing felt a little touched by the man's thoughtfulness and turned to Tang Wan, saying, "Sister-in-law Tang, do you need help with your firewood?"
Tang Wan also picked up some firewood and followed, saying, "No need, I can do it myself."
Such a good opportunity, but unfortunately, Wang Shuoteng didn't make a move. After all, he was carrying a wild boar weighing nearly 200 pounds on his shoulder. However, he was a little overwhelmed, and his shoulder slumped as he shouted to Ji Xuening in front of him, "Old Ji, why did you leave? This wild boar..."
He swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
He gritted his teeth and followed behind Tang Wan. He had just been showing off; he couldn't very well say he couldn't carry the wild boar, could he? He even suspected that Ji Xuening in front of him was doing it on purpose! That guy was so cunning!
We encountered many people on the road, and almost everyone exclaimed in surprise, "My God, what a huge wild boar!"
Some people didn't have time to go home for dinner, while others followed along with their bowls of rice, turning a group of four into a large group.
Wang Yuqing and Ji Xuening took a different route home first, and Tang Wan also went home.
Poor Comrade Wang Shuo was left to carry the wild boar all by himself. He looked back several times and saw that Tang Wan had walked away before he threw the wild boar heavily to the ground and called a few strong young men to help him carry it.
He rubbed his shoulders, finally feeling relieved.
Lei Yongxia was sitting at the door eating with her bowl and chopsticks when she quickly went up to her: "Oh my, what a big wild boar! How much meat must this have? This is much bigger than the wild boar that Liu Huo got. He was so smug about it, but I didn't expect Comrade Wang Shuo to be even more amazing."
Wang Shuo shouted: "What? What? That Liu bastard got a wild boar?"
Lei Yongxia slurped up a mouthful of porridge: "You don't know? He also caught a wild boar, weighing about 80 or 90 pounds. He was so proud of himself on the way here. I bet he's slaughtering it at the brigade headquarters now."
Around 80 or 90 pounds?
Wang Shuo wondered, wasn't that something I did? How did it become Liu's doing?
He asked, "Liu said he did it himself?"
Lei Yongxia nodded: "That's right. He said he took down the wild boar with just one bullet. Everyone praised him for being amazing. But I think Comrade Wang Shuo is even more amazing. Tsk tsk, it's even bigger than the wild boar that Ji Xuening caught last time. It seems that every household will get a share of wild boar meat."
Lei Yongxia's son, standing beside her, said, "This wild boar is worth two of them. So, the instructor is really something else. Instructor, tell everyone, how did you take him down?"
Wang Shuo said frankly, "This is not my achievement. Ji Xuening took him down with one axe. He was the powerful one, but I also contributed."
After saying that, he asked everyone, "Are you sure Liu Huo said he killed the wild boar himself?"
Everyone nodded.
Wang Shuo asked again, "Did he mention that I was attacked by a wild boar and climbed a tree on the mountain to save him, and that he should come back quickly to find someone to help me? Did he mention it? Did he call for help?"
Everyone was completely bewildered.
Lei Jun said, "I didn't hear him say anything. I just saw the militiamen following behind him happily, and they were even discussing having wild boar hot pot for dinner."
Wang Shuo asked, "They didn't mention me?"
Lei Jun looked at Wang Shuo's somewhat fierce face and replied in a low voice, "No."
Wang Shuo gritted his teeth and stormed toward the brigade headquarters, yelling, "You bastard, I'll skin you alive! Are you trying to kill me? You dog! You despicable wretch, I really regret saving you. If it weren't for Ji Xuening, I would have been bitten to death by this wild boar by now."
Although everyone didn't quite understand, they felt there must be something going on, so they all followed.
Along the way, Wang Shuo told everyone what had happened, and everyone condemned Liu Huo. Of course, Ji Xuening was also really strong!
Liu Huo was still happily directing several militiamen to slaughter wild boars at the brigade headquarters, while the commander He Guangliang kept praising him.
