Liu Guangtian stood up, stamped his feet and said in a low voice: "Silly Zhu is really a beast. I've been doing this for half an hour and it's not over yet. My legs are numb from squatting. I don't want to listen anymore and go home."
Xu Damao was shocked after hearing what Liu Guangtian said for half an hour. Silly Zhu was much better than him. Without saying a word, he secretly went home to discuss life with Lou Xiao'e.
The next morning, Su Wen asked the village chief to send his daughter-in-law to school, then went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy tools for hunting in the mountains, and also bought a large pack of matches. Finally, he went to the post office to call the purchasing department of the steel rolling mill.
"Good for you, Steel Rolling Mill Purchasing Section."
"Chief Lu, this is me, Su Wen. I was requisitioned by a small group of soldiers in the village. They asked me to take them into the mountains to find wild boars. The return date is uncertain. I will let you know. Please take a few days off."
"There is no need to ask for leave. As long as the buyer completes the task, he is free. If you catch a wild boar, don't forget to leave one for the steel rolling mill. If there are no wild boars, wait until you come back and see how I can concoct you." It took less than a minute to hang up the phone and spend one dollar and a dime. money.
At ten o'clock, Su Wen led six soldiers into the mountain. They carefully searched the mountains and found traces of wild boars in a bush on the outskirts of the mountains. After searching nearby for a long time, Su Wen found two wild boars behind a rock. He gestured to Captain Liu to indicate that the wild boars were here. Several soldiers approached the wild boars cautiously. When they were getting closer and closer to the wild boars, a soldier Suddenly he stepped on a dead leaf and made a sound. The wild boar immediately raised his head alertly and looked at them with wide eyes.
Captain Liu decisively took the lead in firing. The standard rifle was much more powerful than the shotgun in Su Wen's hand. Two wild boars fell on the charging road.
"Captain Liu, hurry up and bleed the wild boar. Shall we go back now?" Captain Liu directed two soldiers to bleed the wild boar.
"Su Wen, is it safe for this wild boar to hang on a tree?"
"It's not safe. There are ocelots in the mountains and they will climb trees. Get two rafts and pull them down the mountain. Let's continue looking in there tomorrow."
Together, several people cut down a lot of branches to make two wooden rafts, and they dragged two wild boars down the mountain in groups of three. Su Wen carefully explored the path ahead, and the group slowly walked down a path. The forest was quiet except for their footsteps and breathing. They successfully returned to Sujia Village before dark. Captain Liu offered to give Sujia Village half a wild boar. The village chief hoped to exchange it for cornmeal, and Captain Liu agreed. Captain Liu rode Su Wen's bicycle to the commune and called people to invite people to pull wild boars.
While waiting for Captain Liu to return, Su Wen and several people in the village had already dealt with the wild boar. They skinned the wild boar, cleaned the internal organs, and then cut the pork into chunks and froze it.
After a while, Captain Liu came back and told them that people from the army would come to hunt wild boars at night. At around eight o'clock in the evening, people from the army arrived as scheduled and brought a portable radio to Captain Liu and others. They transported the wild boars back to the army in trucks and left 500 kilograms of cornmeal in Sujia Village.
The village chief was very happy when he heard the news. He decided to distribute the cornmeal to the villagers the next day.
Early the next morning, the village chief convened a meeting with the villagers and announced the cornmeal distribution plan. Each family was given some cornmeal, which made the villagers very happy.
I went into the mountain again and found nothing in the outer area, not even a bird egg.
"Captain Liu, if you go further in, you will be in the deep mountains. Please be careful and follow me and don't stray too far away."
Captain Liu nodded and relayed Su Wen's words to the other soldiers. The group of people cautiously headed into the deep mountain area, everyone tensed their nerves for fear of any accidents. Su Wen was exploring the path while paying attention to the surrounding environment.
As they went deeper and deeper into the forest, the road became increasingly difficult. Overgrown branches and thorns forced them to stop frequently to clear the path. However, no one complained because they knew the importance of this trip into the mountains. In this way, they traveled through the mountains and forests for a whole day and only shot two hares.
Arriving at a shack, he said, "Captain Liu, chop some wood to expand this shack. Let's spend the night here tonight."
Captain Liu nodded and began to instruct several soldiers to chop wood to expand the shack. Su Wen found some leaves and hay nearby to make a bed.
While waiting for the shack to be built, Su Wen and Captain Liu discussed the next plan together. They decided to continue heading into the deep mountains tomorrow, hoping to find more wild boars. At the same time, they also began to think about how to improve the efficiency and quality of hunting to avoid wasting time and energy.
As night fell, the shack was finally built. Everyone made beds with hay and began to rest. Although this trip into the mountains did not achieve the expected goal, no one was depressed. They believe that as long as they keep working hard, they will gain something one day.
The next morning, the group got up early and continued heading into the deep mountains. This time, they were more cautious and everyone was in high spirits. Su Wen and Captain Liu are also constantly observing and analyzing the surrounding environment, hoping to find better hunting locations.
The group of people walked cautiously through the mountains and forests, but nothing was gained.
"Captain Liu, you guys start cooking here while I go to the ridge ahead to see if there are any prey in the ravine."
"Okay, be safe."
Su Wen found a group of wild boars in the ravine. They are foraging on the ground and are completely unaware of the arrival of humans. The number of this group of wild boars is quite large, and there are more than a dozen small wild boars.
Su Wen retreated cautiously. If the wild boars were alerted and they charged, his life would be over.
Su Wen retreated safely, secretly glad that he was not discovered by the wild boar group. He returned to Captain Liu and other soldiers and told them that they had discovered a group of wild boars, including seven or eight large wild boars and a dozen small wild boars.
"Great, let's go take a look." Captain Liu was very happy after hearing this.
"Captain Liu, if the wild boar charges, it will kill people. We have to take a detour to the top of the mountain and shoot the wild boar." Captain Liu thought for a while and agreed to Su Wen's suggestion.
They saw a herd of wild boars, which were still foraging on the ground and did not notice the arrival of humans.
Several people found their positions. Following Captain Liu's order, gunshots rang out. All the big wild boars fell down, and the surviving little wild boars fled in all directions. A soldier was about to rush down, but Su Wen grabbed him.
"Captain Liu will give each wild boar a shot in the head before we go down."
"Do as Su Wen says. Comrade Xiao Su, the wild boar won't pretend to be dead."
"No, I'm afraid some of them are not dead. If we go down and have a comeback, just give us a blow, and they'll be dead."
