Chapter 126 Liu Huo was exposed by Ji Xuening
Tang Wan rushed over after returning home. She stood not far away and watched silently. Although she didn't like either Liu Huo or Wang Shuo, Wang Shuo was much better than Liu Huo, and this time she was willing to believe Wang Shuo.
Ji Xuening glanced at Wang Yuqing, his expression softening considerably, but when he looked at Liu Huo again, his expression returned to its somber tone: "I came from another hilltop, and when I saw Comrade Wang Shuo..."
He suddenly remembered that Wang Shuo was chatting with the wild boar back then.
Wang Shuo's face immediately turned awkward. He glared at Ji Xuening, who was trying to signal him not to reveal the matter, while he looked around for Tang Wan. And that's when he saw Tang Wan.
Tang Wan's gaze met his, and she immediately lowered her head.
Ji Xuening skipped that part: "He was hugging a tree, with a wild boar below, gnawing at the trunk and ramming it with his body. But I noticed there was another tree nearby, which had clearly been gnawed and rammed by the wild boar and was almost falling over..."
Liu Huo lowered his head, not daring to look at Ji Xuening.
Wang Shuo said, "It was that tree that this good-for-nothing was hugging. When I went there, he was hugging that tree. If it weren't for me, he would have been killed by wild boars."
Liu Huo stubbornly argued, "It's possible that someone else climbed there, but it wasn't me."
Ji Xuening asked the militia members, "Which of you has climbed this way?"
Everyone shook their heads. Zhou Shan said, "We haven't even seen a trace of wild boars behind us, so why are we climbing trees?"
Liu Huo suddenly pointed at Wang Shuo: "Wang Shuo, weren't you attacked by a wild boar? He moved to another tree."
Wang Shuo glared at him: "Did your parents not give you a brain when you were born? If you were attacked by a wild boar, could you switch trees halfway through? Did I fly there?"
Ji Xuening continued, "After I arrived, I lured the wild boar to the middle of some trees, where the branches trapped it, preventing it from getting out for a while. I took the opportunity to chop its head with an axe. Later, Comrade Wang Shuo came down from the tree and beat it to death with a few more blows. You can all see..."
He turned and pointed to the wild boar next to him: "Besides the axe wounds, it also has club wounds and a very obvious gunshot wound on its back, with the bullet still inside."
Wang Shuo said, "I hit him. It was because that grandson Liu Huo alerted this brat that I missed and hit him in the back..."
He added, "Another bullet hit the little wild boar behind us."
Ji Xuening asked Liu Huo, "Liu Huo, where are your bullets?"
Liu Huo replied, "Didn't I say? One of my bullets hit a wild boar, I took it out, and it's just sitting there. I fired another one when I was going down the mountain."
Wang Shuo roared, "You're talking nonsense!"
Ji Xuening suddenly pulled out two bullets: "These are two other bullets I found at the scene, one on the tree trunk and one on the ground... Which of you lost a bullet?"
Several militiamen all said they hadn't lost any bullets. Zhou Shan scratched his head, embarrassed, and said, "We didn't even have a chance to fire, and these bullets are so precious, how could we dare to lose them?"
Ji Xuening's rigorous analysis: "Each of you has two bullets. Comrade Wang Shuo's bullet hit this wild boar. Even if one of the two bullets is his, whose is the other one?"
Niu Er spoke up: "Liu's, right?"
Several militiamen said, "It belongs to Liu."
Ji Xuening then asked, "Liu Huo, why are your bullets here?"
Liu stammered, "I...didn't I say...I saw a wild boar when I came down the mountain, and I fired a shot..."
Ji Xuening curled the corners of his lips: "So that means you were here. If you were here, why did you see Comrade Wang Shuo die and not help him? Why did you say you didn't see him after you came down the mountain? And why did you tell everyone that he might have already returned?"
It was so obvious that even the little kids next to us understood it.
Lei Yongxia analyzed, "I think I understand now. The bullets on the big and small wild boars were Comrade Wang Shuo's bullets, while the two bullets in your hand were Liu Huo's bullets. So, Liu Huo is lying. He didn't hit any wild boars at all. What Comrade Wang Shuo said is the truth."
Wang Shuo said disdainfully, "His two bullets barely grazed the wild boar's hair!"
People expressed their contempt for him and even began to laugh at him.
Zhou Shan was still holding a grudge about the meat distribution. He sighed and said, "Company Commander Liu, so this is the kind of person you are. You didn't kill the wild boar. It's one thing to brag, but why are you so ungrateful? You were so scared by the wild boar that you climbed a tree. If it weren't for Comrade Wang Shuo saving you, we would all be eating your food tomorrow... You can't be like this... Comrade Wang Shuo was your savior."
Liu Huo even tried to argue, "I shot that wild boar; Wang Shuo is talking nonsense!"
Enraged, Wang Shuo stepped forward and punched him twice more. This time, He Guangliang stepped aside and did not stop him.
The old Party Secretary chuckled, chin in hand: "Someone of this questionable character is no good as a militia company commander... How about we let Ji Xuening take the job..."
He asked He Guangliang, "Director, what do you think?"
Liu Huo's eyes widened.
Those around him nodded in agreement: "Ji Xuening is the most suitable; he's already killed two wild boars."
Wang Shuo raised both hands: "I agree with both hands and feet! Old Ji is not only a good person, but also capable and quick-witted!"
Zhou Shan and Niu Er both said, "Yes, our militia company commander should be someone like Ji Xuening!"
He Guangliang remained silent, even if he disagreed, there was nothing he could do. He put his hands behind his back and gave Liu Huo a cold look: "You can decide what to do with the wild boars yourselves. As for this person, do whatever you want with him."
After saying that, he left, actually trying to distance himself from the situation.
Everyone supported Ji Xuening as the militia company commander. He didn't say anything, but turned around and looked at Wang Yuqing with his dark eyes, as if asking for Wang Yuqing's opinion.
Wang Shuo saw through it and chuckled, "He's asking his wife. If she agrees, he'll agree to be the militia company commander."
Everyone followed Ji Xuening's gaze to Wang Yuqing, who smiled slightly and said, "I won't offer any opinions. You make your own decision."
Ji Xuening's eyes also lit up with a smile: "Then I agree."
Liu Huo collapsed to the ground, completely stunned.
Liu Li had already called her parents over, and said, "Liu Huo is quite capable. Since she killed a wild boar all by herself, let's hurry up and divide the meat."
As a result, the three of them witnessed this scene.
Liu Wu felt ashamed and turned to leave. Zhang Tao and Liu Li didn't leave. Seeing that Wang Shuo was about to continue punching and kicking Liu Wu, Zhang Tao rushed forward and said, "Don't hit my son! If you're going to hit someone, just kill me!"
Liu Li secretly hid in the crowd. Although it was her own younger brother, it was a shameful thing, and she was afraid of implicating herself.
Although Wang Shuo was furious and wanted to beat Liu Huo to death, he also knew that human life was a serious matter. If he killed her, he would also go to jail. He just wanted to vent his anger, but then this woman was on top of Liu Huo.
But the thought of it made him furious, and he roared, "Get out of my way!"
Zhang Tao refused to move, turning back to glare at Wang Shuo: "Come on, if you're so capable, why don't you hit me too? Just kill me, you're bullying my son!"
Wang Shuo rubbed his hands together angrily: "Oh dear, so it's turned into me bullying your son? Your son wants my life, and he wants all the credit I've earned as the CEO!"
Zhang Tao snorted at him, her expression clearly telling Wang Shuo that she would do the same if she were in his shoes.
