Rebirth of Rural Literary Life

Chapter 7
He Ping woke up Wei Guoshu to change shifts and told what happened just now.

"It's okay, weasels are better than cats in the granary."

In the northeastern countryside where shamanism is practiced, animals like weasels are endowed with a lot of mysterious colors, and many people will offer tablets of "Yellow Immortals", which are weasels.Many people believe in the legend of the weasel.

Leaving aside those superstitions of strange powers and gods, in terms of biological habits alone, weasels are omnivores, mainly feeding on small mammals, and mainly eating mice and hares.

But sometimes it also harms the chickens and ducks in the members’ homes, so most rural people love and hate weasels. This can be seen from the name. Some people call it Huang Daxian, and some people call it it. Yellow skin.

Silent all night.

The next day, He Ping got up to go to work in a huff. He had no choice but to sleep for 5 hours, but the quality of sleep was good. Much warmer.

He Ping has been working with Han Zhaoguo for the past few days. He is a newcomer and doesn't understand anything, so the old captain asked Han Zhaoguo to teach him.

After working for a few days, He Ping didn't learn anything else, but learned the essence of being lazy.

He stopped working and chatted with Han Zhaoguo for a while if he had nothing to do. He was thinking about the novel, so he asked Han Zhaoguo about the post office.

Han Zhaoguo told He Ping that there is a post office in the town.

When asked about the bookstore, Han Zhaoguo said that there was only one Xinhua Bookstore in Dongguan, the county seat.

After a day's work, He Ping returned home again with his exhausted body. Although he was tired, he was not so tired that he couldn't move. It was much better than a few days' work. It seemed that this man had to work a lot.

He Ping was not in a hurry to light the fire to cook, and before Xiao Zhuer came over, he took out his mobile phone to write novels first.

Seeing that it was getting dark and Xiao Zhu'er hadn't come yet, He Ping was a little puzzled, these few days Xiao Zhu'er came to eat within hours after finishing work, why didn't he come today.

He Ping was a little worried, he searched around the team, but found no one, and went into two families to inquire, saying that he hadn't seen Xiao Zhu'er all day.

He Ping walked back anxiously, and it happened that Han Zhaoshe was running madly from the opposite side, and He Ping stopped him.

"Look at Xiao Zhuer?"

"I watched it in the morning."

"Where did you watch it?"

"I see him going to Dongshan."

It should be to go to the mountains to pick things. In the past two years, Xiao Zhuer has been hungry and full. In order to get full, he often goes up the mountains to pick things to eat. Sometimes he can get a hare, a pheasant or something.

It stands to reason that this time should come back, can something happen?
Thinking of this, He Ping's uneasiness intensified, and he had to look for him.

But he has never been to the mountain since he crossed over, and he definitely can't do it by himself, so he has to find someone to help.

"Is your brother at home?"

"here I am."

He Ping took Han Zhaoshe to his house.

"Brother He, why are you here?"

Han Zhaojun saw He Ping coming over with his younger brother just after eating, thinking that his younger brother had caused some trouble.

When He Ping met, he told about Xiaozhu'er. He knew that Han Zhaojun was very familiar with Dongshan, so he wanted Han Zhaojun to help him go up the mountain to look for it.

Han Zhaojun looked at the sky, "Brother He, it's getting late today, and it's dangerous for the two of us to go up the mountain alone. Let's talk to the old captain and find some more people."

"it is good."

The two came to the old captain's house and talked about it. The old captain told them not to worry, maybe Xiao Zhu'er went back to his grandma's house.

He first asked the youngest daughter-in-law to ask at Lao Liu's house, and the youngest daughter-in-law came back and said that Xiao Zhu'er was not at his uncle's house.

The old captain called the convener, and asked Han Zhaojun to come back to get the shotgun. Han Zhaojun’s father used to go hunting in the mountains for hunting. In the past few years, the number of animals on the gable has decreased, so the shotgun at home has been idle, but it has been maintained. It's very good.

Han Zhaojun liked to hunt with his father since he was a child, and he has practiced good marksmanship. It is still a bit dangerous to go up the mountain at night this time, so he should be safe with a shotgun.

When everyone was assembled, the old captain took He Ping, Han Zhaoguo's three brothers, the old captain's second sons Han Jianguo and Han Aidang, Xiaozhu and his uncle Liu Jiaming, and the group headed towards Dongshan with flashlights and torches.

The path into the mountain is not easy to walk, especially at night, with overgrown vegetation and rocks blocking the way.

He Ping and the others arrived at the foot of the mountain and divided them into two teams. If they were too scattered, they might be in danger. Siberian tigers, Xiong Xiazi and wild boars have not yet become protected animals.

Several people went up the mountain and walked along the path, shouting while walking.

Dongshan was very quiet at night. Their shouts spread far away, but there was no answer.

Seeing that he was halfway up the mountain, He Ping was anxious and walked in the front, a little out of touch with the main force.

He shouted a little hoarsely, still shouting loudly.

The wind was blowing the surrounding trees, He Ping vaguely heard Xiao Zhuer's voice, he stopped to listen carefully, it was Xiao Zhuer's voice.

He hurriedly ran towards the source of the sound, staggering.

As he ran closer and closer, Xiao Zhu'er's voice became clearer and clearer.

"I'm here~"

Relying on the light of the flashlight, He Ping finally found Xiao Zhuer, who was hugging the tree with his arms and legs.

"Xiao Zhu'er, I found you, come down quickly."

"There are pigs!"

He Ping was taken aback, what pig?

At this time, several humming sounds came from his ears, He Ping's whole body tensed up, wild boar!

He could only hear the sound of the huge monster charging and rampaging in the darkness, and his subconscious reaction made him dodge to the side.

The sound of "dong" should be that the wild boar hit the tree, and it groaned a few times in place.

He Ping broke out in a cold sweat, and before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the voice of chasing after his soul came again.

He Ping waved the torch to look around, and finally saw the wild boar that was rushing towards him. The hard wild boar hair was shiny in the moonlight, and the sharp fangs were charging towards He Ping like sharp knives. The huge inertia leveled the surrounding area. Shrubs, He Ping was caught off guard by the oncoming ferocity.

"Get out of here!" At this time, Han Zhaoguo and others behind also noticed the movement here and reminded loudly, but the sound was still some distance away.

Only then did He Ping come to his senses, and ran wildly.

The wild boar followed closely behind, and He Ping tried his best to feed, but the distance was getting closer and closer.

At this moment, He Ping saw a huge boulder more than one meter high lying in front of him on the left, and a wild boar was about to hit him behind him.

It really made him jump up.

With a muffled sound of "dong", the wild boar bumped into the stone, and it seemed that he was stunned. Taking advantage of his illness and killing him, He Ping got angry, leaned out and stabbed the wild boar's eyes with the torch in his hand.

"Aww~" The shrill screams resounded through the valley, and the sound of messy footsteps and shouts came from a distance, and the large army rushed over.

"Be careful, the boar is injured." He Ping reminded loudly.

Several flashlights followed the sound and illuminated He Ping lying on the boulder and the screaming wild boar lying on the ground.

Han Zhaojun with a shotgun ran at the forefront, seeing the injured wild boar, he squatted down, took aim, and shot, all in one go!
"Bang bang!" After two gunshots, the wild boar's front face was smashed, its limbs twitched for a while, and it died.
