Life in a small village with quiet mountains and quiet waters

Chapter 10 Useful Person
Gu Siwei was in a good mood at first, he got a big wild boar, but when the raft went down the river, he had a new idea in his mind.

He felt that there was no need for him to settle down in the village, and that he lived in the wild these days very freely. Even if it was salt or something, he could get it through exchange. He didn't believe that he could not exchange a wild boar with him bag of salt.

Thinking about it this way made his original thoughts a little shaken, and he couldn't be sure whether it was a good thing or a bad thing to settle in the village for a while.

After thinking about it like this, time passed quickly, and when Gu Siwei woke up, the raft was almost out of the mountain pass.

Taking the half-dead and half-alive wild boar out of the space and putting it on the raft, the raft almost sank into the water immediately.

Even Gu Siwei's hairy nest was wet.

"miscalculation"

Gu Siwei looked at the hairy nests on his feet, sighed and said this.

"Brother Gu!"

Gu Siwei was thinking about his Maowozi, when he suddenly heard someone calling himself on the shore.

Looking in the direction of the sound, Gu Siwei found that at some point, Liu Dezhu jumped out of the wild reeds by the river and waved at himself.

Gu Siwei was taken aback by him, worrying in his heart whether the kid saw him moving pigs out of the space.

But after thinking about it for a while, he felt that he must not be able to see. The raft came out of the mountain pass when he put the pigs away.

"De Zhu, why are you here?"

Gu Siwei is very strange.

Liu Dezhu still thinks that Gu Siwei is a spy, so he naturally wants to investigate and investigate. He is a fool who has watched some things about three-legged cats in movies. , completely useless.

Seeing that Gu Siwei had been in the mountain for two or three days, he came here to wait. He had been waiting since morning. If Gu Siwei didn't come back, he would go back to the village for lunch.

"I'll come over to see if you're back." Liu Dezhu smiled innocently.

Gu Siwei didn't care, and continued to stand on the raft and follow the river to the village downstream, while Liu Dezhu followed the raft.

"Wild boar, did you kill such a big boar?"

Liu Dezhu's brain is not very bright, but his eyes are very good. After running two steps and seeing a big wild boar on Gu Siwei's raft, he immediately asked loudly.

"I didn't hit it, I picked it up." Gu Siwei smiled.

"How did you pick it up, Brother Gu, you are so lucky..."

Seeing a big wild boar, Liu Dezhu was so happy that he went crazy. At this moment, he directly threw the idea that Gu Siwei was a spy to the back of his mind, and his mind was full of the big wild boar on the raft.

With Liu Dezhu's loud voice, as soon as Gu Siwei's raft entered the village, everyone ran out to see the big wild boar coming.

When the raft touched the shore, the crowd around the shore immediately let out a burst of exclamation.

"It's such a big wild boar, it must weigh about three hundred catties."

"It's just a little more, good guy, it's so big that it's almost fine."

"It's amazing that such a young guy can catch such a big wild boar."

……

The villagers looked at the wild boar on the raft in chatter.

Gu Siwei glanced at the shore and found that Liu Fulin and Yang Chuanwu were not among the crowd on the shore, so he said to the people on the shore: "Everyone, help me and drag the wild boar ashore."

"okay!"

After hearing this, how can everyone refuse, even a fool would know that such a big wild boar must have returned to the village, which means that everyone will be lucky soon.

The adults and the children, together with a dozen or so, not only dragged the wild boar to the shore, but also dragged the persimmon baskets on the raft to the shore with the raft itself.

"Still alive".

"not dead".

The wild boar dragged ashore might have regained some energy, or it might be the last reflection before dying. Suddenly, it hummed twice, which made everyone exclaim.

At this time, Liu Fulin and Yang Chuanwu, along with several old men from the village, arrived late.

Several people were in a meeting just now, and the content of the meeting was still related to Gu Siwei.

Since Gu Siwei got a few chickens and persimmons back, Liu Fulin, Yang Chuanwu and others have changed their views on Gu Siwei.

It would definitely be impossible for a newcomer to be fed in the village, because the people in the village were starving to death, so there was no food to feed the newcomer.

But now Gu Siwei has the ability to support himself, and depending on his method, he can support himself well.Then this newcomer is very good.

For a village, if it wants to develop and grow, it must first have people, and if there are no one, you are still talking about it.Especially this kind of village located in the deep mountains needs a population, especially a population of middle-aged people, preferably from outsiders.

The folks don't understand the big truth, but they still understand this simple truth. They may not explain it clearly, but they do.

After everyone's discussion, Liu Fulin took on a new task, which was to find out if Gu Siwei wanted to settle in the village.

Not only did he fall in love with Gu Siwei's ability to catch pheasants, but he also thought that with such a skilled labor force, he could always share a little pressure on the village.

hiss!
When the few people saw the big wild boar on the shore, they all subconsciously took a breath.

The huge wild boar has suppressed the effective talkers in these villages, let alone alone, even if they are together, if they don't have a shotgun at hand, they have only one way to see such a wild boar: run.

The kind of running that can run as far as it can go!

Liu Fulin looked at Gu Siwei in disbelief: "Did you beat this wild boar?"

Gu Siwei quickly said: "Where, I picked it up. Two wild boars were fighting and this one fell off the cliff and I happened to pick it up...".

Gu Siwei felt that he was good at rounding things up.

But these words are just to deceive ordinary people. These old mountain travelers in the village have all their age and experience, and they are almost perfect. How can they believe his words.

But they don't argue with Gu Siwei either. As a capable old man, there must be something hidden in his heart. People don't want to say that you are not qualified to ask. Some things may be the experience of their ancestors in exchange for their lives. Why do you ask? People just tell you?
"It's about three hundred catties." Guo Xiangping glanced at the wild boar, carried the wild boar's leg with one hand, and estimated the weight.

This big wild boar, if you save a little food, can feed the whole village for half a month.

It is definitely not enough to eat a catty of meat per person, not to mention the current conditions, even when Zhuangzi was less than half of the population, there was no way to eat like this.

Usually, it starts with the pigs entering the water, and it is enough to have the smell of meat in every pot. If you want to eat pure meat, who has the face of eating a big bowl of meat?

Of course, Gu Siwei can definitely eat it. They have the privilege of pigs they get. If anyone has anything to say, you can catch them yourself.

"Father Liu, my shoes are wet. Go back and have a fire. Captain Yang, take this pig back to the dining hall. This will be my gift to everyone."

"This……".

Yang Chuanwu opened his mouth to be polite.

Gu Siwei said: "You are welcome, greet someone."

"Zhuzi, take your Brother Gu back... Forget it, just go and get those new pair of woolen blankets at home, and replace them with Brother Gu first, and put the wet ones on the stove to dry." Liu Flynn said to his grandson.

"I'll go with it."

Gu Siwei said something to Liu Fulin, and followed Liu Dezhu to Liu's house.

After Yang Chuanwu watched Gu Siwei leave, he glanced at the big wild boar, and smiled at everyone: "We still underestimate him."

"Don't say anything else, let's clean up the pigs first. I haven't seen wild boars in half a year. Let's have a good meal today."

Guo Xiangping said with a smile.

"Guo Xiangping, why are you still so greedy at such an advanced age?"

Seeing the big wild boar, everyone's mood improved a lot.

"Luan Dashou, do you dare to say that you are not greedy?" Guo Xiangping hit back at Luan Dashou, who was about the same age as him.

Yang Chuanwu said at this time: "Let's do it, don't grind your mouth, clean up early, cook the meat after dinner, and marinate the rest."

"Where did you get the salt?"

"Go and buy some, or the meat won't be able to keep in spring soon."

"Just this one pig, do you still expect to eat it until the beginning of spring?"

There are really not many men working in the village now, and there are quite a lot of children, big and small. Almost half of the whole village are children. Let's put it this way, each household has at least three, four or five, six or seven. One is too many, even if there are a dozen or so children, there are also in the village, but they are not in the sixth team, but in the first team.

In 58, the great man carried out the construction of farmland and water conservancy in various places. He said that a large number of people is powerful, so everyone can give birth to children vigorously. Almost every family has several. If there are more children, can there be fewer people?
"Okay, clean up first!"

Yang Chuanwu heard everyone's mess and shouted, so everyone happily went back and pushed the wheelbarrow, and lifted the wild boar, which was still hanging for a breath, onto the wheelbarrow, and a strong man pushed another strong man to help it to the dining hall.

On the road, a bunch of big and small furry children yelled happily, and the heads of the noisy adults hurt.

When they arrived at the dining hall, everyone started working together. The vegetable porridge that was originally boiled in the big pot was directly filled, and the pig was boiled with water instead.

Naturally, there are people who kill pigs. Although they haven't eaten pigs for a long time, there are still many people who have the skills to kill pigs.

Fortunately, the pig was half dead, and there was no struggle. Everyone tied the pig and stabbed the main artery in the pig's neck with a military bayonet.

After collecting the pig's blood, the next step is to scald the pig. The hair on the pig's body is almost shaved, and then the pig's belly is cut open to take out the internal organs.

At this time, the work of the women will come, and the washing and rinsing will belong to them.

When Gu Siwei came to the dining hall, he suddenly felt that the atmosphere in the dining hall was different today. When eating before, everyone felt a little lifeless.

But today everyone seems to have something called vitality.

"Comrade Gu, is the Maowozi baked?"

As soon as Gu Siwei entered the courtyard of the dining hall, someone immediately greeted him.

"For a pair of new."

Gu Siwei laughed with everyone.

Originally, everyone would nod when they saw him, but today most of them had to chat with him, although it was casual, but it was obviously very different from before.
