My village can't be like this

Chapter 242

While Zhang An was talking to Su Ying beside him, he lined up in the crowd to divide the meat.

Although he came here at six o'clock, there were quite a few people who came earlier than him.

At this moment, there are twenty people in front of Zhang An in front of the team. According to this speed, it may take a while before it is his turn.

"Anzi, you go to the front and share first. I'll change places with you and hang out with their aunts."

It's just that Zhou's sister-in-law, who was at the front of the line, came to find Zhang An after seeing Zhang An.

It meant to let Zhang An take her place, and she changed it.

"Sister-in-law, you go to divide it first, I'll be fine if I wait a little longer."

Although Mrs. Zhou said she wanted to chat with the ladies next to her, Zhang An knew that she wanted to divide the meat first.

Zhang An has nothing to do at night, so he doesn't need to be in a hurry, so he is embarrassed to ask Mrs. Zhou to make room for him.

There is a reason why everyone came so early, and some people didn't even eat dinner.

Isn't it just to come here earlier, to be able to be in the front, and to get some big fat meat to bring back to boil oil.

This wild boar often runs in the mountains, and there is not much fat on its body, and only a few people can get it.

There is no shortage of lard in Zhang An's family, so he will not rush to grab fat from everyone.

Moreover, he didn't really want to come here to divide the meat, but Su Ying had never seen the meat divided, and had never eaten wild pork.

So Zhang An took her for a walk, and gave some wild boar meat home to cook for her to taste.

"Don't be polite to your sister-in-law. Hurry up and take Xiaoying back after the division. There are so many mosquitoes here. Don't you feel sorry for your daughter-in-law."

When Mrs. Zhou was speaking, she urged Zhang An.

There are field dams next to the drying yard. At this point, the sun has gone down, and mosquitoes have started to come out and move around.

Now that the weather is hot, Su Ying is wearing a short-sleeved dress, and there are already many mosquitoes circling around her.

"Thank you sister-in-law, I'll go first."

In order to prevent Su Ying, who has delicate skin and tender flesh, from being bitten by mosquitoes, Zhang An changed places with Mrs. Zhou.

"There's no need to thank me for this. Look at Xiaoying's hand. If you are bitten, I will feel sorry for you. Go ahead."

After Zhang An and his wife left, the group of women began to talk about meat and vegetables.

They were embarrassed to speak just now because Su Ying was here.

They don't have the face to say this in front of a new daughter-in-law who has never been married.

And they knew that Su Ying was a teacher, and they all wanted to maintain a positive image in front of Su Ying.

After all, in the future, their children will definitely go to school in the village, and they can't let the teacher know that they can't control their words.

Zhang An walked to the front, and it was his turn before there were a few people in line.

"Zhang An is here, Youde will fix him a good place."

Seeing Zhang An coming, the old uncle turned around with a smile and asked Lin Youde to cut Zhang An's flesh.

The old uncle is not afraid of others saying that he takes care of Zhang An, after all, one of the pigs is surrounded by Zhang An's big dogs.

"No, uncle, just give me a whole piece of pork belly, I really don't need that old fat meat."

There is no shortage of lard in Zhang An's family, and there is plenty of oil and water for meals on weekdays.

If you really cut him a big piece of fat, he really wouldn't like it.

In his mind, pork belly is better because it tastes delicious.

"You don't know how to appreciate it, this fat can produce a lot of oil."

When Zhang An opened his mouth, Lin Youde got him a piece of good pork belly.

"Our family has enough lard to eat, so let's leave the fat to other people in the village who need it. Then we will go back to my uncle."

Holding the pork, Zhang An greeted the old uncle and Lin Youde, and took Su Ying home.

Last year, Zhang An didn't think about dividing the meat because he felt that wild pork was not as fragrant as local pork.

But in the past two years, the family has eaten too much local pork, and he also wants to try a different taste.

Only at this time did he understand why wild boar meat in later generations was so expensive.

Because everyone has money and their living conditions have improved.

It's not too different from him now, it's all caused by eating too much on weekdays.

Back home, Zhang An wanted to put this piece of meat in the refrigerator.

"Xiao'an, don't put it in the refrigerator yet, I'll take it to wash and wash it off."

Wang Fang quickly took the meat from Zhang An, and brought it to the kitchen to clean it.

"It's still fresh meat, so it's better to wash it better. After it's frozen, the fishy smell won't go away after washing."

The meat is still fresh now, and the cells are still good. It will be easier to handle after washing and removing the fishy smell later.

But if you put it in the refrigerator until tomorrow, it will not be so easy to remove the fishy smell.

At around eight o'clock in the evening, it was estimated that the pork in the village had run out, so Zhang Jianwen came to the door.

"Uncle is here." Zhang An found a bench and handed it over.

"You don't need to pour water. I'm here to find your father. I want to call some of their village leaders to the village committee for a meeting. Zhang An, come over later."

Seeing that Su Ying got up to help pour tea, Zhang Jianwen hurriedly told Zhang An's family.

Hearing the call for a meeting, both Zhang An and Zhang Jianguo agreed, and Zhang Jianwen went to call the others.

This time the meeting was not at Zhang Jianwen's home, but at the village committee office.

Zhang An and his father had just arrived at the village committee for a while, and everyone else came slowly.

"Everyone is here, so let's talk about things earlier and go back to sleep earlier."

Zhang Jianwen paused, and poured himself a glass of water with the teapot before handing it to others.

"Everyone has also seen that the mountain roller has started to go down the mountain, and we encountered quite a few today."

"Although I could see them in the past few years, they were only at one end and two ends. I didn't expect that after a few years of quietness in the village, they started to make trouble again."

"But this year is different from previous years. From Wild Boar Rock to Tunluopo's Bao Valley, many people have been ruined by them."

"The group we saw today consisted of more than a dozen heads. If it hadn't been scared away by the firecrackers, the two might not have survived today."

Although Zhang An didn't go there today, he heard Zhang Jianguo talking about it at home.

Coming down from the Wild Boar Rock, a large area of ​​Baogu land was trampled down by the wild boars descending from the mountain.

And today when they went to the mountains, they encountered a group of more than a dozen wild boars.

This is because everyone brought earthen cannons, and the group of wild boars were frightened and fled.

Finally, everyone found a chance to kill the two wild boars that were left alone.

Although just now when the whole village divided the meat, everyone was very happy.

But Zhang Jianwen was really worried, because these mountain rollers had already haunted Tunluopo.

It no longer belongs to the mountains, it's all cornfields, not a single forest.

"That's why I'm here today to discuss with you about the value of autumn. We can't let them continue to spoil the corn in the field."

Autumn value means vigil. Many years ago, wild boars went down the mountain every year, and even came to the entrance of the village.

At that time, every year, the village would arrange people to watch the autumn in the evening to guard the crops in the field.

It's just that the mountain rollers haven't come out of the mountains very much in recent years, so the village didn't arrange to continue the autumn vigil.

Autumn value is related to the harvest of every family in the village, so the old uncle mentioned it, and everyone basically had no opinion.

"Jianwen, I think this year's autumn value may not work."

At this time, Second Master Huang took a sip of the cigarette stick in his mouth and said slowly to everyone.

"You should have seen it today too. Basically, none of the cornfields near Wild Boar Rock is good."

"When I entered the mountain the day before yesterday, nothing happened. It must have been two days before the mountain rollers got into trouble."

"Even the group of pigs we encountered today, they definitely don't have such great capabilities in just two days. I think there must be other groups of pigs that have gone down the mountain."

Hearing what Huang Erye said, everyone was taken aback. It would be a disaster if there were other pigs going down the mountain.

No one doubted what Huang Erye said.

Because this old man is one of the most powerful handles in the village.

"It is estimated that there are still about [-] days before the time of Breaking Baogu. Those beasts will definitely continue to come out, so I think the most important thing at the moment is to find out how many people will go down the mountain this year."

"And now that we all don't have guns in our hands, it will be troublesome to meet them at night."

Having said that, everyone was silent.

That's right, everyone brought guys with them during the autumn season.

But now the fire sticks in everyone's hands have been taken away.

If you really go to the field at night, if you encounter a group of mountain rollers, you won't even be able to escape.

"That's why my old man thinks that we organize people to touch the bottom of these beasts during the day, but in the end we still need to ask the town for help."

"According to my past experience, there are at least [-] or [-] mountain rollers going down the mountain this year. If the armed forces don't come, we won't be able to take these beasts by ourselves."

"It is estimated that in the past few years, we have not gone into the mountains to find them, so that they can be relieved."

Since the armed forces came to clean up the last time, the mountain has been quiet for nearly ten years.

In the past few years, it was basically after they went down the mountain that the village organized people to take action.

So after all this time, their populations are estimated to have recovered.

In the past, if there were only twenty or thirty mountain rollers, everyone would go and beat them with soil guns.

But now everyone has nothing to deal with, and if it happens, it might be a bad thing.

"The second master is right. I was negligent and didn't consider this aspect."

After hearing Huang Erye's speculation, Zhang Jianwen was a little scared.

If there are really so many mountain rollers going down the mountain this year, it is too dangerous to go to the autumn value of seven or eight people every night.

Beasts like mountain rollers don't have very good eyesight during the day, but they are very active at night.

"We won't go to the vigil this fall. I'll go to town tomorrow and report the incident."

Zhang Jianwen thought about it, this autumn value must not continue.

Whenever someone in the village has an accident because of autumn, it is difficult for him to explain to the villagers.

"But what you always said, second master, is that before the armed forces come, we need to find out the truth about these beasts."

"So tomorrow, I will trouble you, Second Master, to take someone to the mountains to look for them. When the people who come to help later come, we will take care of them."

Huang Erye was undoubtedly the most suitable person to take someone to the mountains to find out the traces of wild boars.

His old man knows the mountains better than anyone else, and everyone is willing to listen to what he has to say.

"That's no problem." Second Master Huang readily agreed to this.

The old man has always been unambiguous about matters in the village.

Others in the village didn't have any objections either. It's impossible not to go, after all, the crops are all in the fields.

Not having to go to the autumn vigil at night is already the best result for everyone, and it is much safer during the day.

"But everyone has to remember well, after you find the mountain rollers, don't startle them."

"Everything, safety is the most important thing. If we don't have a guy in our hands, we have to be soft. Don't take your own life as a joke."

If you don't have a guy in your hands, you have to give in. This is the truth left by the ancestors.

"That's how it is. Tomorrow morning, I will notify everyone to come over, and then we will determine who will enter the mountain."

After Zhang Jianwen told everyone a few words, the meeting ended and everyone went back to their homes.

But before leaving, Second Master Huang ordered Zhang An's family's big dogs.

Because in the mountains, there are several big dogs from their family, so it is much easier to find wild boars.

So on the way home, Zhang An, Zhang Jianguo and his son were talking about some things to pay attention to.

To organize people to enter the mountain tomorrow, at least one of the father and son must go.

Because if the village wanted to take their family there, they would definitely not be able to go without their family.

"You guys are back, Xiaoan. Boss Lu called you just now. You can call back later and ask what's going on."

Back home, Zhang An heard from his mother that Fatty Lu had called.

"Yeah, okay, I'll call and ask."

There is still time to enter the mountain tomorrow, so Zhang An is going to call right now to ask.

"Is there something wrong with the village calling you this time?"

After Zhang An went upstairs, Wang Fang asked Zhang Jianguo what he said at the meeting today.

Because usually when there is a big event in the village, they will call to the office for a meeting.

For other small things, I went to Zhang Ping's house to eat melon seeds, and everyone discussed it and it was over.

"Hey, it's not because of the wild boar going down the mountain."

Speaking of Zhang Jianguo, he told Wang Fang and Su Ying at home about the matter.

The Baogu land of Zhang An's family is all on the side of Yanziyan, so they don't care much about the mountains on the side of Wild Boar Rock.

Moreover, the fact that the wild boar rock was ruined in the past two days has not spread in the village.

"Then you and Xiao An will also take the dog with you tomorrow."

Wang Fang and Su Ying frowned when they heard that they were going into the mountains to find wild boars.

It doesn't matter if they go into the mountains on weekdays, but they don't feel at ease when they go into the mountains to find wild boars.

When Zhang An came back last year, Wang Fang was terrified of being covered in pig blood.

Now that Wang Fang thinks about it, she still feels a little scared.

Now hearing that her son and the man will go into the mountains with the villagers to look for wild boars tomorrow, Wang Fang's heart aches again.

But she couldn't say no to it, because it was a matter of the village and could not be shirked.

Besides, they are all from the same village, and everyone else has gone, so why don't your family go.

"You don't have to worry this time, just go into the mountains to see where the wild boars are moving. If you really want to fight, you have to wait for the comrades from the Armed Forces to come over. We don't have guns in our hands, so we can't fight."

Even though Zhang Jianguo said it very easily, Wang Fang still didn't let go of what he raised.
