Rebirth of Rural Literary Life

Chapter 8

Everyone waited for a while, and only came forward when they saw that the wild boar was completely silent.

"Good guy, this big wild boar must weigh three hundred catties, right?"

"Zhao Jun'er's marksmanship is good now, two shots knock down such a big wild boar."

Han Zhaojun was so excited that he was about to jump up, but he still had to pretend on the surface.

"I can't hit a wild boar that can't move, so I'm going to be blind."

Han Zhaojun stepped forward to detect the sound of the wild boar, and he was sure that he was really dead. At the same time, he also saw the torch stuck in the wild boar's eye socket.

"No wonder, it turned out that Brother He stabbed him in the eye."

When everyone saw it, it was still stuck in their eye sockets.

"Little He Xing, let the wild boar chase it and give it a few blows, a little courage."

He Ping finally breathed a sigh of relief at this time, only to realize that his head was covered with cold sweat, and his calf was twisting. Why did the huge boulder that he jumped up look so high?

"Zhaojun, help me." He Ping called out in embarrassment.

With the help of everyone, He Ping got off the boulder. The big guys were still admiring the wild boar's corpse. He Ping remembered the small pillar hanging on the tree, and hurriedly ran towards it.

"Little Zhuer, little Zhuer!"

The torch in his hand was long gone, He Ping walked forward in the dark, accidentally tripped and fell to the ground, and when he wanted to get up again, he felt a sharp pain in his ankle.

He struggled to stand up, and Xiao Zhu'er not far away climbed down from the tree and ran towards him.

"You child, don't you know how dangerous the mountain is? Why are you running around?"

Seeing that Xiaozhu'er was safe and sound, He Ping was very angry.

Seeing He Ping scolding, Xiao Zhuer grinned and took out a handful of hazelnuts from his bosom.

He Ping looked at the pair of cold and red little hands, his nose was sore.

He put his arms around Xiao Zhu'er, "Silly boy."

Xiao Zhuer stuck to He Ping's chest, it was very warm.

The big guy came up from behind and was relieved when he saw that He Ping was holding Xiao Zhu'er in his arms.

"It's not a problem for this child to go up the mountain every day to find food, it's too dangerous."

"Jiaming, I didn't say you, no matter how difficult the family is, you still need the child's food?"

Xiao Zhuer often ran into the mountains because he didn’t have enough to eat. Everyone knew about it, and no one said anything about it. But today’s incident, it’s obvious that the child met a wild boar and was trapped in a tree. If everyone came today Later, Xiaozhu'er might be gone.

Facing everyone's accusations, Liu Jiaming looked ashamed. His family was really in trouble, and coupled with his wife's instigation, Xiao Zhu'er's life in his house was really difficult.

"Okay, the child is also found, tie up the wild boar, and hurry down the mountain."

The old captain spoke, and everyone hurriedly tied the pig's trotter buckle with a rope, put on two wooden sticks, and carried it down the mountain.

It was only when he left that He Ping's foot was sprained. Han Zhaojun helped him limped down the mountain.

It was dark, and the wild boar was being carried again, and with He Ping's wounded number, the big guy walked very slowly.

But it was still hard to hide the joy. Although it took a whole night, people found it and beat a big fat pig.

After all this tossing and returning to the team, it was already past ten o'clock. In order not to delay tomorrow's production, the old team leader spoke to share the pork.

In this era of planned economy and collective life, no one thinks there is anything wrong with distributing wild boars killed by a few people to the whole team.

In the courtyard of the brigade, hundreds of watts of white flag bulbs illuminate the courtyard brightly, a large pot is set up, and the firewood below is burning vigorously.

As mentioned earlier, the father of Han Zhaoguo's three brothers, Han Yuzheng, was a hunter. The second brother, Han Zhaojun, learned good marksmanship from his father, while the eldest brother learned the skill of killing pigs, removing their fur and skinning them.

When the hot water was boiled here, the old captain asked the two people to tell them about the pork distribution from house to house.

In a moment, the originally quiet mountain village became noisy.

Within a few minutes, all men, women and children gathered in the courtyard of the brigade, watching the scene of slaughtering pigs and shedding their hair with great interest. Under the yellowed lights, it was full of energy, and the parents were short-lived.

At this time, Xiao Zhuer had fallen asleep lying on He Ping's lap, and He Ping carried Xiao Zhuer into the house.

Compared with domestic pigs, the hair of wild boars is much harder and longer, and it is not easy to shed. It would be really difficult for ordinary butchers.Fortunately, Han Zhaoguo was originally a manipulator of wild animals, and he showed that he knew if there was one as soon as he started. His movements were crisp and neat, without any hesitation. It didn't take long for a naked wild boar to appear.

After digging into the water, the old captain called out names and went from house to house to share the pork.

All the team members of Hantun had happy smiles on their faces, talking and laughing.

It was close to zero, and the work of dividing the pork finally came to an end.

"It's okay, let's go, I have to go to work tomorrow, go home early and go to bed." The old captain drove the team members who were immersed in the joy of sharing pork back home.

He Ping was thinking about something, and approached the old captain.

"What? Let Xiao Zhuer live with you?"

The old captain's tone was surprised, full of surprise and puzzlement.

"Yes, Xiao Zhu'er is so pitiful. His uncle's family is also very difficult, and he can't take care of him. Today is a lucky day. What if another incident happens."

"It's okay..." The old captain looked at He Ping suspiciously. The old captain knew exactly what kind of urine this kid was working these days. It was difficult for him to raise himself, and he still wanted to raise a child. , let's be more tactful.

"He Ping, you see, you're not too young, and you're taking care of this child before you start a family, so you won't be able to find a wife in the future."

I really haven't thought about this question, he still thinks that he is the happy fat of that wife and child.

Turning around and thinking about it, this is pretty good. His wife and children are far away, and he doesn't know if he will have a chance to meet again in this life. He really hasn't thought about the issue of getting married here, so he just treats his wife like a jade. What a kind and loving man.

"Captain, do you think it's important for me to have Xiao Zhuer?"

He Ping's question from the soul made the old captain ponder for a long time.

Yes, a shriveled brat, quite self-aware.But this kid wouldn't be heading for Xiaozhu'er's rations, right?Try him again.

"It's a good thing for Xiao Zhu'er to follow you, but there is one thing, you have to think about it. Liu Jiaming's family is in trouble, and Xiao Zhu'er's rations are enough for you to come back."

"Hey! What's the matter? I'm not good at farming, so I'll let Xiao Zhu'er's uncle plant it. Just leave half of the ration for Xiao Zhu."

The old captain looked at the confused young man in front of him, and worried that he had pushed the poor little Zhu'er into the fire pit.

But thinking about how Xiao Zhu'er was treated at Liu Jiaming's house, this may not be a bad thing.

"Success! Liu Jiaming doesn't handle personnel affairs, and I don't feel very excited about it. Tomorrow, I will go to the commune's purchasing station to deliver wild boar belly. You take Xiao Zhu'er with me, and you will be settled and adopted. Let’s take care of Xiao Zhu’er’s business together.”

"Captain, shall we speak to Liu Jiaming first?"

"Why, he dares to pierce the thorn? He forced the child to go up the mountain to find food, why is he reasonable?" The old captain blew his beard and stared.

"What you said is true, what you said is true." He Ping quickly shrank his head and pretended to be his grandson. The old man's temper is really grumpy.

The old captain thought for a while after losing his temper, then turned around and left.

"Hey, Captain, what are you doing?"

The old captain said in a muffled voice, "We still have to notify you."

He Ping smiled, the old man's mouth was still quite stiff.
