Take Arada back to the past

Chapter 507, Hunting

After returning to the village, Xie Hongbing followed Yang Xiaole to find Captain Xie.

After listening to this, Xie Lao Si pondered for a while, and finally looked at Yang Xiaole: "Xiao Le, what do you say? If you don't agree, it's okay. You are a member of the brigade branch committee now. If you don't want to go, it's okay. Ma Shiyou or Zhang Liang will go.

Anyway, one more or one less won't make any difference!"

He naturally understood that Yang Xiaole was being targeted.

The riverside is not safe at all now!

But for him, it is not a good thing for anyone to get hurt and he doesn't want to see it.

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole thought about it for a moment.

Asked: "Do I have to stay for three months? Can't it be shorter?"

He was also preparing for the spring to come, and to go out for a walk under the pretext of being a barefoot doctor or buying piglets!

He still has to go and see that bastard Xizi.

If you don't take a look, you won't feel at ease.

Three months is too long.

Xie Hongbing shook his head: "No! According to the regulations, unless there are special circumstances, it must take three months."

Yang Xiaole thought about it.

Said: "Isn't there still a few days? We'll see then!"

He stayed on the other side of the boundary river for a while, where no one cared about him and no one asked him questions, and he felt pretty good.

Moreover, March is almost here and the national announcement is about to take place, so there should be some changes by then.

But before that, someone has to be dealt with.

But this time we can’t use tigers. It would be terrible if tigers appeared in the commune.

See him say that.

Xie Laosi didn't say anything either.

Xie Hongbing said, "Then I will arrange people based on the results from last time, and someone will take us there when the time comes."

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole smiled and said, "Okay, that's settled!"

After the matter was settled, the three of them dispersed.

"Hey, Captain, I'll take some people to the nearby mountains to have a look! What if there is a tiger here? Don't you think so?"

After coming out, Yang Xiaole looked at Xie Hongbing and asked with a smile.

Xie Hongbing rolled his eyes: "What are you talking about? The bullets can't be wasted. Don't forget, we still have target practice tests twice a year!"

"I know! Let's just wait and see. If we can hit the target, that's the best. If we can't, there's no need to shoot! There's nothing else to do right now anyway!"

Hearing this, Xie Hongbing thought about it and finally nodded.

"Okay, do as you wish! But let's make a deal! Don't shoot if you don't see the prey, so as to avoid trouble when applying for registration."

If there is prey, you can kill it. If there is no prey, you won’t waste bullets.

They have done this before.

He had hesitated before.

"Okay, let's go check it out after dinner. We'll make sure to check all around!"

Yang Xiaole agreed with a smile.

When we arrived at the agency store, it was very lively inside.

He was busy here and there, shouting loudly.

This person has half a pound of soy sauce, that person has two ounces of salt, it's very lively.

"Xiao Le, when will the guns be put into storage?"

Feng Aijun looked at him coming and asked with a smile, throwing him a cigarette and also throwing one to Xie Hongbing.

Then he laughed and said, "Dear me, if you hadn't been quick, you wouldn't have been able to get the cigarette."

This made Xie Hongbing smile bitterly: "Only you educated youth have money, but you still want to rob. In the past, if you could buy ten packs of economic cigarettes a month, you might not be able to sell them by the end of the month."

Even if it is an economic cigarette that costs less than a dime, and even if no ticket is required, only village cadres would be willing to smoke it frequently.

Because they grow their own tobacco here.

Who would be willing to smoke this?
Not motivated yet!

Feng Aijun laughed and said, "We can't pull out your cannon! It's too strong."

The cigarettes in front were out of stock, so some people went to borrow tobacco and rolled it with paper to smoke.

It's just too aggressive.

Yang Xiaole smiled when he saw this. He was willing to smoke now, otherwise he would have to smoke welding fumes later.

Because many people can’t keep up financially.

Take Feng Aijun’s family for example.

I haven't received any salary in the past few years. Although I will get it back later, the money will be less and less.

Many people’s families have been cut off from their financial support.

Looking at the gun in his hand, he said, "Get some bullets later and let's go on patrol. The New Year is coming soon. The tiger from last time has not been found yet. We have to let the members have a peaceful New Year."

Hearing this, Feng Aijun's eyes lit up.

He has been with Yang Xiaole for so many years and knows him too well.

Once this guy says something grandiose, there must be something wrong.

Without asking, he quickly agreed: "Okay, do you want the educated youth and militia to come together, or just our educated youth?"

"Just the ones we have here as educated youth will be enough. We don't need so many people."

It's enough for five people.

It's not like we're going into the mountains to raid.

"Hey! Okay!"

Feng Aijun agreed.

"Brother Xiaole, come to my house at noon!"

While he was thinking, Yadan came up to him with a smile and said to him.

"Oh, what's the matter?"

Yang Xiaole asked with a smile.

"I caught some frogs, and Grandpa asked you to come to our house for lunch at noon!"

Yadan said with a smile.

Yang Xiaole thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll go over after I have a meeting."

"Oh, okay, I'll go back first!"

After saying this, Yadan ran away holding the bottle of soy sauce in his arms.

Watching her leave, Yang Xiaole came back to his senses and said to Xie Hongbing, "Aren't you going to call everyone together for a meeting?"

Xie Hongbing nodded.

Then he called all the militiamen to the yard for a meeting.

The captain is not needed this time.

The content of the meeting was actually nothing special, just conveying the instructions from above regarding the list of people to assist in defense.

After all, he doesn’t look like Xie Laosi.

The meeting went on very quickly.

A list of ten people has been tentatively drawn up.

Many educated youth performed well in the last shooting competition, such as Feng Xue.

But the other party is not a militia and cannot pass.

The women had to be eliminated, and after the remaining people were reduced, there were only four male educated youth.

Yang Xiaole, Feng Aijun, Song Liang, and Zhao Qi from team three.

Zhao Weibing was not on the list.

This ratio is already very high, after all, a lot of people were excluded.

After the meeting, it was time for lunch.

Yang Xiaole said hello to Feng Aijun and instead of going back to the educated youth camp for dinner, rushed to Uncle Xu's house.

However, when he went there, he quietly took out a bottle of Erguotou and brought it with him.

It's not that I haven't been willing to give up for a long time.

This kind of Erguotou with geographical indication is more suitable.

Moreover, Erguotou is not much cheaper than Moutai and other brands nowadays.

When I came over, the door was not locked.

He opened the door, closed it, and then walked into the house.

"Uncle Xu! You have something to talk to me about!"

"Duck Egg is looking for you, not me!"

Uncle Xu was sitting in the room, and the meal had already been prepared on the kang table.

Yang Xiaole looked at Yadan who was smiling there, smiled, and put the wine on the table: "I don't care, I'm here anyway."

He took off his shoes and got on the kang.

The food and drinks are ready on the table.

There was only one dish, a basin of stew.

A pot of toad, with fish, tofu and a little pork in it.

"Good boy, snow frog?"

He never thought about this thing after he came here.

There are mountains nearby, so there are naturally streams and bubbles, but I didn't think of getting anything like that.

I heard it’s delicious.

Seeing this, Yadan directly scooped a little for him and put it in the bowl: "This is what I found yesterday. Try it. It's delicious. You don't have to vomit your intestines. You can eat it."

Yang Xiaole naturally knew.

This thing hibernated for a long time, so there was very little dirt. He was not in a hurry to eat it, and smiled at the duck egg: "Bring two bowls over, let your grandfather and I have a drink!"

Seeing this, Yadan hurried over.

He took two bowls and sat back down.

He poured a glass for Uncle Xu, then said with a smile: "Uncle Xu, I am not taking advantage of you! Go! I toast to you!"

Seeing this, Uncle Xu was about to get some liquor.

So I just gave up.

He picked up the bowl and took a sip.

Yang Xiaole took a sip, picked up a forest frog and put it directly into his mouth.

He nodded in the expectant look of Yadan: "Mm, delicious! Yadan's cooking skills are really good!"

"Hehe! It's delicious, eat more!"

Yadan said with a smile.

Yang Xiaole took a bite and then ate another piece of frozen tofu.

As for the meat, he didn't touch it.

He really wasn't interested in this anymore.

This is cooked with soybean paste, so the soy sauce is saved, and it is cooked on a large stove.

The taste is particularly fragrant.

Uncle Xu was eating and drinking, and he started chatting there: "Xiao Le, you've been here for almost two months!"

"Yeah, almost."

Uncle Xu, seeing this, said, "Old Fourth Xie is going to make you the production team leader?"

Yang Xiaole was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Look at what you said. I'm an outsider who has only been here for a short time. How can I be a production team leader?"

Then he made a joke: "Besides, if I do it, I will be the production team leader. What kind of team leader am I? Duck egg, don't you think so?"

Educated Youth
Intellectual youth.

In fact, many of the first group of educated youth who went to the countryside quickly entered production teams, brigades, and even communes and counties.

Not to mention that he has a heavyweight status as a member.

Even if there were no such people, there were many educated youth from all over the country who worked in the brigades and communes as non-members.

After all, most of these people are more educated than the locals.

So after arriving, many vacant positions were quickly filled.

These brigades, communes, and even counties all showed great kindness to the first group of educated youth.

"Oh, yes!"

The duck egg echoed there.

Uncle Xu shook his head and suddenly said, "If you don't do it as a production team leader, it will be difficult to become a team leader!"

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole thought about it for a moment.

I understood instantly.

This has always been the rule.

This is the brigade level, and the same principle applies to the commune and county.

Then he smiled and said, "Uncle Xu, you think too highly of me. I have never thought about becoming a captain! I can't do it."

"It was true before, but not necessarily now!"

"Oh why?"

Yang Xiaole was confused for a moment.

Uncle Xu said, "It's nothing, actually. Do you know what kind of production team leader is the most popular in the village now?"

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole thought for a moment and said, "A good harvest? Doing things fairly?"

Uncle Xu shook his head: "All of it, but not entirely. Food is just like that. They are just slacking off. There won't be too much less, but there won't be too much more either."

While Yang Xiaole was puzzled, Uncle Xu said, "Sideline business, it just so happens that what you have been doing these days is all related to these. You are allowed to raise livestock, lumberyards, and agency stores. I guess you don't think it's a big deal. But it's different for the members."

Yang Xiaole nodded when he heard this.

Indeed, he felt that it was really nothing.

Seeing his expression, Uncle Xu laughed and said, "What do you think the production team leader does every day? It's just those things! Do you think he studies national affairs every day?"

These words made Yang Xiaole burst out laughing.

It seems so!
The production team leader has a lot of things to do, but when it comes down to it, it’s really just this.

But it's not that easy.

"Uncle Xu, come and have a drink! Let's not talk about this!"

He really has no interest in this. He would be happy to be a full-time deputy team leader in charge of side businesses.

And he can also guarantee that he can do a good job.

In his hands, no animal would die.

Ensure a good harvest of livestock at the end of the year.

But let's not make him the production team leader.

Uncle Xu didn't say anything when he saw this. He was just chatting casually.

If he knew what Yang Xiaole was thinking, he would probably spit at him.

Really shameless.

"Uncle Xu, tomorrow is Chinese New Year. I feel bad for eating all your food today."

A bottle of wine was finished.

Yang Xiaole said after having a full meal and a drink.

Uncle Xu rolled his eyes.

Amid the laughter of Yadan, the other party was driven away.

Yang Xiaole had a full meal and when he came out, he saw Feng Aijun and his group coming over anxiously.

"Why does it take you so long to eat? We agreed to go on patrol!"

After saying that, he sniffed and said, "Have you been drinking?"

Yang Xiaole smiled and hummed: "Yeah, I drank a little at Uncle Xu's house. Let's go get the bullets."

After saying that, he smiled and took a few people to get their things.

Zhao Weibing, Zhang Mingyuan, Zhou Yongjian, Feng Aijun.

As for the woman, of course she didn't bring her with her.

Except for Feng Aijun, Zhao Weibing and the others actually thought that the production team had asked them to patrol nearby.
After receiving the bullets, Yang Xiaole led a group of people and quickly ran towards the mountain road not far away.

The temperature is now around minus ten degrees Celsius during the day and minus twenty degrees Celsius at night.

There is a big temperature difference between day and night.

As the temperature rises during this period.

A lot of the snow that was exposed to direct sunlight melted, fell to the ground and froze again.

In some places there is less snow, so it melts faster, while in other places where the snow is thicker it melts much more slowly.

The whole mountain area appears a bit mottled.

"Aren't you on patrol? Why are you running so far? You are not on patrol at all!"

Guard Zhao watched as Yang Xiaole led them on a brisk run for more than half an hour, and they were already quite far away from their village.

I still asked.

"Don't worry! I'll show you some good stuff! But don't shoot without my order."

Yang Xiaole brought his men to a hillside.

He led people inside.

This is a sunny hillside, and wild boars like to stay in places like this in winter.

There is a nest here.

Two adults and six children.

The smaller ones weigh about 50 to 60 kilograms.

He pretended to follow the footprints and observe the terrain, and brought a few people to a place: "Last time when I came back alone, I saw wild boar footprints. I came in once and they were just in front."

Zhang Mingyuan looked around and was surprised: "Xiao Le, you are so brave! You dare to go into the mountains alone, aren't you afraid of getting lost?"

"It's okay! There was a lot of snow at that time, so we just walked back along the way we came."

Yang Xiaole said nonchalantly.

After walking for more than twenty minutes, we came to a slope with a pile of weeds.

What attracts attention is naturally the big hole next to it.

"See? There!"

Yang Xiaole and his men squatted far away, pointing at the cave entrance on the slope and laughed.

Guard Zhao was puzzled for a moment: "Are there any wild boars in here?"

"Wait a minute, I'll go check it out! Wild boars usually come out at dusk and go home to sleep in the morning. They should still be here now."

After saying that, he moved forward quietly.

Came to the entrance of the cave, but didn't get closer.

Seeing that the eight wild boars were still inside, he quietly retreated.

Just as we approached, the wild boars became alert.

After coming back, he smiled and said, "Of course there is. I heard the wild boar's grunting. Just listen to my instructions later!"

When they heard that there really was a wild boar, everyone was excited.

This is a wild boar!

Yang Xiaole explained it carefully to a few people, and then he led his men to approach quietly.

I found a big rock and stopped.
