Return to 1983: Starting from hunting in the mountains

Chapter 33: Scare off the wolves
  It took Lu Jiansheng nearly an hour to make a simple sled using branches and canes. Then he moved the wild boar onto the sled, fixed it with canes, and then pulled the wild boar.

With this simple sled, Lu Jiansheng was much more convenient, and soon he got the wild boar up the valley.

However, it was not easy to pull this wild boar, which weighed one to two hundred kilograms. He needed to rest every time he walked.

"Stab!"

Suddenly a soft sound came from not far away! In this snow-covered mountain forest, Lu Jiansheng heard it very clearly!

"It can't be so unlucky!!"

He stopped immediately! He took the gun on his back in his hand, turned around and looked around, and found three pairs of yellow-brown eyes not far away staring at him!
  "Wolf!"

These wolves! Obviously attracted by the blood of wild boars! But at this time, everyone looked at him greedily.

"Stay~"

The mountains were blocked by heavy snow, and these wild wolves were obviously very hungry. Lu Jiansheng quickly scanned the surroundings! You must know that wolves are social animals. Generally, a wolf pack consists of seven to ten animals, and in the cold winter, there can be up to thirty or forty animals.

"boom!"

"Why are you back so late again?"

The gorgeous sunset gradually dissipated, the sun had completely set, and smoke drifted out of the chimneys of every household in the village.

Lu Jiansheng has a gun in his hand and there are only three wild wolves, so he is not very afraid! But the wolf is very vindictive, and now he is transporting the wild boar, so he just needs to scare it away.

"Mom, look at the snowball!"

Although Bai Ruoxi had long been accustomed to it, she still looked at it habitually.

These animals in the mountains are very clever. Even if they have a gun, if they are not careful, it will fall into their hands and become food.

"Silly girl, are you cold? Come inside and warm yourself up, don't play outside."

"I'm really not afraid of death!"

"Xixi, it's not cold."

…………

Moreover, these wolves are very cunning and like to surround prey. If a wolf is found, there may already be wolves behind it. If there is a slight weakness, they will rush up at the same time.

The weather was cold and snowy, and there wasn't much to do. It wasn't dark yet, so it was impossible to go to bed so early. Almost every household was either cooking or sitting around the fire to warm up.

Seeing that they still didn't want to leave, Lu Jiansheng shot a wild wolf. The bullet hit the tree next to it and made a clang sound.
  Now it seemed that Lu Jiansheng was not easy to bully, and the wolves ran away in despair.

Tangtang and Xixi were playing in the yard, and Xixi ran back with a snowball.

Liuligouzi Village

When Lu Jiansheng looked around, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. There was no large group of wolves. It seemed that there were only these three wild wolves.

Bai Ruoxi stood by the courtyard door wearing an apron, looking up at the outside.

Lu Jian was promoted to family.

Lu Jiansheng decisively fired a shot into the air, and the loud noise caused the three wild wolves, who were about to move, to stop moving forward.

Seeing this, Lu Jiansheng couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, then pulled the wild boar and continued to set off!

"Mom, dad isn't back yet."

"Well, don't run around. It's getting dark. Mom will go cook first."

As Bai Ruoxi was about to enter the kitchen, she suddenly heard Lu Jiansheng's shout from outside the yard.

She thought she heard it wrong.

Through the wooden window of the kitchen, it is really Lu Jiansheng who is back!

"Ruoxi, Tangtang Xixi, look what I hit!"

Lu Jiansheng laughed. Whenever you can kill a wild boar single-handedly, it will definitely be a shameful thing.

"Bang~" The courtyard door opened, and two little guys, Bai Ruoxi and Tangtang Xixi, filed out.

"Dad is back!"

The two little guys were jumping around.

"You're back, what did you hit?"

Bai Ruoxi was about to ask when she saw the wild boar behind Lu Jiansheng.

"You, you shot a wild boar."

While Bai Ruoxi was surprised, she quickly stepped forward and asked with concern: "Are you not hurt?"

"I'm fine! I wasn't bragging about what I said last time!"

Lu Jiansheng's breathing was a little heavy. He pulled the wild boar back from the mountain alone. He walked a while to rest, and ate a few bites of smoked roe deer meat at the hunting cabin. Otherwise, he really didn't have the strength to pull one or two. A hundred catty wild boar walked home.

"Okay, you are awesome! But next time you encounter a wild boar, stay away."

Seeing that Lu Jiansheng was fine, Bai Ruoxi felt relieved and was very happy to see such a big wild boar.

"I'll help you."

Bai Ruoxi said,
  The two little guys were looking at the big wild boar curiously and gathered around the wild boar, not daring to come forward.

Lu Jiansheng put the big wild boar in the yard, and when he came down the mountain, he had already bled the wild boar! Afterwards, the clothes on his body were made of pig blood that had frozen into shards of ice. Lu Jiansheng hurriedly changed into the clothes that had been dried in the past few days.

"Dad, wash your face quickly!"

The two little guys worked together to bring a basin of hot water!
  "Ok."

Lu Jiansheng touched the heads of the two little girls. Looking at his sensible daughters made him feel very happy, even though it was Bai Ruoxi who poured the hot water.

In fact, children in rural areas these days are basically very sensible. Children from poor families have long been the masters of the family. Some five or six-year-old children can already help the family with many things. They even stand on the bench and use a shovel to cook because they are too short.

Young people in later generations may find it strange.

But in fact, it is not unusual. Most of thousands of rural families live this way.

If there are many children, the eldest child in the family will also be responsible for taking care of the children. Although these two little guys are small, they have suffered a lot.

"Don't you two want to eat pork? When the wild boar is sold, we will buy pork to eat! Eat big chunks!"

"Xixi also wants to eat pork stewed vermicelli!"

The little guy said in a sweet voice, thinking of the pork stewed vermicelli he ate yesterday, he couldn't help wiping his saliva.

Tangtang also nodded cutely, and then said curiously:
  "Why did dad sell the wild boar? Can't we just eat it?"

"Haha, wild boar is not delicious, it doesn't have the flavor of local pork."

Lu Jiansheng washed his face with hot water, and his stiff face softened instantly, and his pores opened and felt very comfortable.

Wild boar has less fat, especially this kind of boar, which has not been castrated and will have a stinky smell if not treated well. In these days, it is far less popular than native pork in rural areas. Of course, it’s quite delicious to be able to cook aniseed, but these days only state-owned hotels have the technology and conditions.

After Lu Jiansheng finished washing, he handed the two little ones to Bai Ruoxi, and he went out without stopping.

In this cold weather, wild boars are not easy to spoil, but they must be sold as soon as possible. A wild boar weighs one or two hundred pounds. Although wild boar is not as good as pork, it can be sold for as low as 50 or 60 cents per pound, which can cost hundreds of yuan. ,

Hundreds of yuan was a huge amount of money in this era. Lu Jiansheng estimated that Wu Guofu's small state-owned restaurant would not be able to afford the food, and since it was difficult to get to the countryside and the county, he could only go to the county to avoid wasting time.

If he wanted to transport the wild boar to the county, he would naturally need tools. He planned to go to Liu Fugui to borrow a cart to haul the wild boar.

Lu Jiansheng then came to Liu Fugui's door and knocked on the door.

It was dinner time, so when Lu Jiansheng knocked on the door, Liu Fugui was warming his house by the fire with his rice bowl.

Liu Fugui was a little puzzled when he heard the knock on the door.

Who is so blind while eating?
