"Okay, you provide the seasoning and I'll provide the salt."
Yang Mumu took out a large bag of salt and put it aside. The two of them squatted beside the stove and scooped hot water to wash the meat, then took out the meat and sprinkled salt and seasoning on it.
Song Yan, Xia Zhizhi, He Yuan, and even Liu Qingwan all came to help. It didn't take long before all the meat was marinated in a basin, and they were waiting to hang up the meat when they got home from work in the afternoon.
During the afternoon work, when Yang Mumu came to Gu Xingzhou's side on patrol, Yang Mumu said to her in a low voice as she passed by him:
"I found out where the wild boar cave that Lu Qianyao provoked is. There are two pigs in the cave. After work this afternoon, why don't we team up and go get them secretly? I know someone in the black market who I can sell the meat to. How about we split the money in half?"
Yang Mumu was also thinking of taking a walk in the wild boar cave, which could be regarded as getting rid of the pest for the team. There were so many crops in the fields that the wild boars could not be allowed to come down and cause damage.
She blinked and agreed, lowered her head and took out a pen to write something in the notebook, and whispered:
"Okay, let's go after work and meet up at the place where we hunted wild boars today."
The two reached an agreement. Yang Mumu continued to walk forward with the notebook, and loudly praised the comrades in this area: "Everyone has done a good job. I will go and get you some boiled water. Everyone, take a sip and take a break before continuing to work hard."
"Okay, thank you Scorer Yang."
The working members responded happily and worked even harder.
**
After work, Yang Mumu finished his work, said goodbye to the team leader and Uncle Qianjin, turned around and left, avoiding the crowd and went into the mountains. On the way, he took out the backpack and hatchet prepared in the space and put them on his back before walking towards the agreed place.
When they arrived at the place, Gu Xingzhou was already waiting there. He stepped out from behind the tree when he saw her coming. He also had a backpack on his back, but there was a bow and a bucket of arrows hanging on his side. The arrowheads were actually made of fine iron and were very sharp.
Iron was the most precious thing in this era. If hunters in the mountains wanted to use bows and arrows, they would basically use wooden arrowheads that they had sharpened themselves, and the style was very simple.
"You can also shoot arrows?" Yang Mumu touched the bow and arrow on his back with some surprise.
It's an old thing, with a bit of patina, and looks like he uses it often.
"Yes, I learned it from my grandfather when I was a kid, and I'm pretty accurate. I saw that there were a lot of mountains in the commune where I went to the countryside, so I thought it might be useful, so I wrapped it in a quilt and carried it with me when I went to the countryside."
Gu Xingzhou smiled and patted the arrows at his side, looking towards the woods ahead.
"Look, it can be used today. Let's go into the mountains."
"good."
Yang Mumu looked inside with a determined expression, without saying much, and decided to finish the work as soon as possible before it got completely dark so that he could go back and rest.
Gu Xingzhou led the way in front, reminding people of the road conditions and picking up firewood as they walked.
When they were halfway there, Gu Xingzhou stopped in front and pulled Yang Mumu to his right to protect her, "Wait, there's a snake!"
Yang Mumu leaned his head to look to the left, and happened to see a snake with yellow horizontal and vertical stripes and black spots hanging on the branch in front of him. The snake's body was as thick as three fingers.
"Wow, this rat snake is really fat."
Yang Mumu's eyes sparkled and she sucked her saliva, thinking back to when she was a child in the orphanage and was extremely hungry, she caught a rat snake in the field to fill her stomach. At that time, they were grilled snake segments, and she just put a handful of salt on it, but it tasted so good that it was the most profound memory of her life.
I kind of miss that taste.
"It's okay, I'm not afraid, it's not poisonous." Yang Mumu waved at him, staring at the snake with shining eyes and moved forward, "I'm a little craving for roasted snake."
The snake felt threatened and ran away.
"Okay, then eat. Wait for me."
Gu Xingzhou smiled dotingly, took out the arrow at his side and shot it. With quick, fierce and accurate strike, it pierced the fleeing snake's vital point. The snake struggled for a few times and then stopped moving.
When shooting the arrows, he deliberately adjusted his position so that his face was facing Yang Mumu at a 45-degree angle, which would have made him look best.
Yang Mumu was indeed impressed by his handsomeness. She was stunned, her mouth opened as big as a duck egg, and she exclaimed: "Oh my god, you are so amazing. This is not just a little accuracy, you are so accurate. You are a trained master. You can shoot so accurately even when the snake is running. Cool!"
Yang Mumu looked at him with amazement in her eyes. Who would have thought that someone who looked like a vase would do things that had nothing to do with a vase? It was so unexpected and so cool. She really liked good-looking people with such contrasting personalities.
This suddenly made Yang Mumu curious about the friend in front of her. She wondered what other skills he would have in the future that would amaze her, and she was looking forward to it.
Gu Xingzhou was happy to hear this, and even happier to see her reaction, revealing a delighted smile. Very good keep it up.
He praised himself in his heart, ran over to pick up the snake, and shook it gently in front of Yang Mumu.
"Thank you for the compliment. The rest is not important. As long as we can hit the target, we have some snakes to roast. How about we get some wild boar and roast them too?"
Gu Xingzhou asked for her opinion.
Yang Mumu I looked up at the sky and nodded, "Okay, let's keep going. Let's get the pig and then consider other things."
Gu Xingzhou put the snake into a cloth bag and then put it in his backpack, and the two continued walking.
Yang Mumu felt a little regretful when she saw so many herbs on the ground. It was getting late now, so she could only find another opportunity to dig them later.
She took out a notebook and drew the positions of the herbs on it as she walked, using the trees as reference points to mark the key points.
Seeing this, Gu Xingzhou also silently helped her remember it in his heart.
The two walked very fast and arrived in front of the wild boar cave in a short while.
There is a lot of wild boar feces nearby, and there is a pile of fresh pig manure on the side of the cave entrance. It can be said that there is a faint smell of pigpen in the air near the cave, which penetrates into the nose with breathing.
Yang Mumu looked at a small cave on the left and a large cave on the right. There were traces of wild boars at the entrances of both caves, and occasionally grunting sounds could be heard coming from inside.
"We're here. There's a big sow in the big cave. It's bigger than the boar we found today. I think it weighs over 300 kilograms. There's a boar in the small cave, about 200 kilograms. We should be able to get a lot of money if we take these two pigs out."
Gu Xingzhou pointed to two caves and whispered to Yang Mumu about them.
"Let's use smoke. Let's do it one by one, starting with the big one, and then the small one?" Yang Mumu said while cutting the raw thatch next to him.
"As you say, I'll go to the cave entrance to lead the way, you wait here, and we'll try to kill him with one blow."
Gu Xingzhou looked at the cave entrance in front of him, took out the dry firewood he had brought, then picked up the grass cut by Yang Mumu and mixed them together to make a grass ball. He stopped only after he had tied several balls of mixed dry and wet grass.
He walked towards the cave entrance holding the grass ball.
"careful."
Yang Mumu whispered a warning, his eyes focused on the movement ahead.
After a few minutes, there was a big noise and a black shadow rushed out of the cave. Yang Mumu's eyes widened when he saw the huge thing.
Oh my god, it’s not a wild boar!
