Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Chapter 771 The Pig Rid Back on a Horse

After chatting for a while with the villagers who were helping them, Wang An and Wang Li returned to Wang An's yard.

In fact, the reason why Wang An met the helpers first when he went down the mountain to go home was because every time Wang An went home, he walked from the westernmost part of the village.

Wang An’s family lives at the westernmost end of the village. There are no other houses further west than Wang An’s.

Because only in this way can we avoid a lot of trouble.

Otherwise, if the prey is seen in the village, there will always be some shameless people who come to ask for the meat.

This kind of thing is very difficult to deal with in rural areas these days, because as long as someone asks for it, you have to give them some money, more or less.

Of course, if it comes to small animals like pheasants, rabbits and roe deer, no one would say anything, but they would be afraid of big animals like blind bears and wild boars.

Because the saying "mountain wealth cannot be enjoyed alone" is not just empty talk in this era.

Although you can choose not to give it, if nothing unexpected happens, your family's reputation and popularity will soon become infamous in the village.

However, the problem of "mountain wealth cannot be enjoyed alone" was more serious before the land was distributed to households, that is, when the collective system was implemented.

Because what was emphasized at that time was "public ownership", which meant that no matter what it was, it belonged to everyone and nothing belonged to an individual.

Since the land was distributed to each household, that is, since everyone started to set up their own home and live their own life, such things have gradually become history.

In later generations, this kind of thing has become something that makes everyone feel incredible when they hear it.

Because after the land was distributed to each household, the emphasis was on "private ownership". What's mine is mine, what does it have to do with you?

As soon as Wang An entered the yard, all the female comrades exclaimed.

"Oh my god, this is the pig coming back on horseback."

"What nonsense! It's normal for a pig to ride on a horse. It's obvious that the horse is carrying the pig back."

"Hey, no matter what, the meat is back, hehe."

"Xiao An and Xiao Li are really capable. They never come back empty-handed after entering the mountains."

"Yeah, this ability is not possessed by everyone. There are quite a few people in our village who drive through the mountains. Look, there are not many who go into the mountains and come back empty-handed."

In response to the exclamations of the female comrades, Wang An just smiled and nodded without saying anything.

Turning around, Wang An said to Liu Guilan:
"Mom, these three pigs are still alive. Should we keep them in the pigpen for a few days? Or should we just leave them outside and wait to be slaughtered someday?"

When they heard Wang An say that the pig was alive, the women exclaimed again.

"Oh my god, they brought a live pig with them to the whole family? These two brothers are really capable!"

"Yeah, this guy dares to catch a pig. These two brothers are really rude."

"You two are just being reckless. It's so scary. How can you easily mess with a wild boar? What if you run into one?"

The last sentence was said by Aunt Xu Yongfeng, and her worry was evident in her words.

Mainly because in the eyes of normal people, wild boars are as famous as other ferocious beasts such as blind bears, wolves, leopards and tigers.

And because the number of wild boars is so large, in people's minds, wild boars are the most dangerous animals in the mountains, without a doubt.

In the Lesser Khingan Mountains of this era, the most common animals in the forest, besides rabbits, are probably wild boars.

The most important thing is that wild boars are animals that are harmful to farmers and have no benefits.

To put it bluntly, chicken feathers are useless. This is the fact.

After hearing what Aunt Xu Yongfeng said, Liu Guilan immediately scolded Wang An and Wang Li:

"What can you do if you two give them a bullet? Just tell your aunt, what will you do if you run into this? What can you do now? How scary it is to have a gun but not use it?"

I have to admit that what Liu Guilan said makes a lot of sense. After all, the safest animals are dead animals.

Seeing that the old lady was angry, Wang An naturally did not dare to force it, so he smiled and said:
"Don't worry, mom. We are all adults now. We know what's going on. These are sows. Nothing can go wrong with them. If they were hit by a cannon, their eggs would have been killed long ago."

Liu Guilan also knew that no matter what she said, it would be useless in this matter, because as the old saying goes, "When a general is on the battlefield, he is not always subject to military orders."

When Wang An went into the mountains, she couldn't follow him.

After Wang An finished speaking, Wang Li also interrupted:
"Yes, Auntie. We are here to pick the lucky ones. Did you see the sack on the horse? That wild boar was not very obedient. My fourth brother killed it."

Liu Guilan rolled her eyes at Wang An and the other man and said:

"I can't be sure, I'll kill them later."

Wang An nodded, and without continuing to argue with me, he asked:

"Mom, I just asked you where to take the pig, but you didn't tell me."

Without waiting for Liu Guilan to answer, Wang Li continued:
"By the way, Aunt, my fourth brother and I also caught a bunch of small flowered corns. If you want all of them, my family won't want them."

As soon as Wang Li finished speaking, Second Mother Yao Ping was obviously stunned for a moment, but she looked at Wang Li and said nothing.

For a rural housewife, chicks, ducks, geese or piglets are all very attractive things.

Because in their opinion, if the family doesn’t raise a pig, chickens, ducks, geese, etc., life will be boring.

This is also the reason why Wang An arranged a brooding hen to incubate eagle eggs, but Liu Guilan and Mu Xueqing put a bunch of eggs in the chicken coop.

So after Wang Li finished speaking, the old women exclaimed again.

They all wanted to bring eggs or other things to exchange for the small flowered corn cobs from Liu Guilan.

This group of female comrades were basically all relatives, so Liu Guilan suddenly didn't know what to do.

Subconsciously, Liu Guilan looked at Wang An for help.

To be honest, this kind of thing doesn’t matter to Wang An at all. Anyway, those little babies haven’t been weaned yet, and it’s unknown whether they can survive.

So, Wang An said with a smile:

"Well, these little piglets haven't been weaned yet. If you can raise them alive, there's no need to exchange them. I'll just give one to each of you, hehehehe."

When they heard Wang An say this, almost all the female comrades were stunned.

Anyone with a little common sense knows that whether it is a pig, a cat, or a dog, it is very difficult to raise them before they are weaned.

It is especially difficult in this era of material scarcity.

So, after all the female comrades were stunned, no one took the initiative to ask for Xiaohualengbangzi anymore.

After a pause, Liu Guilan suddenly said with a confused look on her face:

"What are you going to do with such a big gadget? Who can make a living with it?"
