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

Chapter 823 Find Your Own Way

After Sun Dafu finished speaking, everyone dispersed.

The only people left at the meeting place, apart from the village chief Sun Dafu and the accountant Li Youcai, were the 16 hunters and militiamen, and Niu Qi.

At this moment, Niu Qi was so regretful that he almost regretted his decision.

It would be fine if he was selfish, but he also had to show off. This time, if he failed to kill a blind bear, he would most likely be sent to a farm for labor reform.

This is exactly what the old saying proves:

"Misfortunes sent by heaven can be forgiven, but misfortunes brought upon oneself cannot be forgiven."

After everyone left, Sun Dafu ignored Niu Qi and said to Wang An and others:
"We have a lot of farmland in our village. Fortunately, there are only a few places where livestock are likely to attack. We will split into two teams as we did in previous years. One team will watch the area for a day and a night. Then two people will watch the edge of the woods. It would be even better if we can kill all the wild boars nearby."

After a pause, Sun Dafu suddenly gritted his teeth and said:

"Under the premise of ensuring safety, we should kill as many wild boars as possible. The destructive power of wild boars is really too great."

We have to admit that among all animals that are destructive to crops, wild boars are definitely ranked number one.

The main thing is that these things normally appear in groups, and they don't eat properly, but waste food while eating.

Either they would push the crops down, or they would roll around under their bodies when they felt itchy.

Sometimes it only takes one night to destroy an entire field of crops. Although not much food is eaten, all of them are wasted.

The most important thing is that this thing is very powerful. Except for hunters with guns, ordinary farmers really have no good way to deal with them.

So after Sun Dafu finished speaking, everyone nodded heavily.

Then, Sun Dafu continued to say to everyone:

"It's estimated that it will take ten days to half a month to protect the seedlings. We should not delay any more, especially because the crops in the fields cannot be delayed. We will divide into groups and start guarding the fields from today. What do you think?"

After Sun Dafu finished speaking, everyone started to speak:
"Grandpa Sun, I have no problem with that."

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"I'll start working in the fields tomorrow. I still have some work to do at home today."

"Me too, I'll do it tomorrow too."

In this way, everyone talked about the time when they would be able to go out.

Accountant Li Youcai recorded it in a small notebook.

Soon, Li Youcai finished recording and said:

"Who are you guys in a group with? I'll record that."

When it comes to grouping, even the village head cannot randomly name people, because protecting the young crops and hunting are actually the same. What matters here is "harmony between people and heart, horse and saddle."

Otherwise, if people who don't trust each other carry guns and wait in the field together, if disputes or uneven distribution of power arise, big problems will easily arise.

I only heard Lu Deshu say:
"I have been hunting with Tie Gang for many years, and it's still just the two of us."

Wang An also said:
"My younger brother Laowu and I are in a group, so we can look after each other."

Then, everyone else said the names of their group members.

After Li Youcai finished recording again, Sun Dafu glanced at everyone and said:

"This time, each person is allocated 5 mu of wasteland, and it is also based on the names of people with financial records. During the period of protecting the young crops, if anyone has anything to do, please tell me in advance. Try not to do things like getting married and piercing the ears right after getting married. What do you think is okay?"

After Sun Dafu finished speaking, he looked at everyone one by one, and it was obvious that he was questioning each of them.

However, there was nothing wrong with Sun Dafu doing this. After all, the tasks had been assigned. If someone suddenly asked for leave, what would happen to the young seedlings? So under Sun Dafu's gaze, everyone agreed:

"Yeah, sure."

"I have no problem here."

"I'll definitely tell you in advance if I have something to say."

"That's fine with me, we'll talk if you have anything else."

After everyone agreed, Sun Dafu waved his hand and said:

"That's fine, let's go get the guns and bullets and try to gain something today, hahahaha."

As they were talking, everyone followed Sun Dafu and walked towards the warehouse in the yard.

After everyone received their guns and bullets, they told each other where they were waiting, and then everyone went home happily.

It was obvious that everyone was happy because they got 5 acres of wasteland.

Of course, everyone, including Wang An and Wang Li, were also very happy.

Not only did they get the wasteland, but each person also got 30 bullets for free. The key is that once they start to wait in the field, they will definitely get a lot of prey. This kind of good thing of killing two birds with one stone really makes people happy.

But when everyone had walked a short distance, Comrade Niu Qi finally couldn't hold it anymore.

Perhaps thinking of the danger of hiding underground, Niu Qi said to Sun Dafu with a terrified face:
"Uncle Sun, Accountant Li, I was wrong. I will never do it again. Please forgive me this time."

When everyone heard Niu Qi's voice, they subconsciously slowed down their pace. Some people even stopped, wanting to hear what Sun Dafu and Li Youcai would say in response.

After all, this kind of excitement is quite interesting.

It has to be said that Niu Qi is not only selfish, but most importantly, he cannot see the situation clearly.

When it comes to protecting young crops, which is beneficial to the entire village, he cannot bear to see others' efforts being rewarded, and thinks that others' efforts are their due.

Of course, if you just think about it this way, there is nothing wrong with it, but isn’t it a bit stupid to shout about it openly?

By shouting like this, he offended all the hunters and militiamen.

Finally, he was reprimanded and warned by three Lingdao officers.

However, he did not admit his mistake immediately, but waited until everyone had left before admitting his mistake.

Maybe he was concerned about his reputation, or maybe he just figured out the key to the problem.

But he only admitted his mistake at this time. What should Sun Dafu and Li Youcai do?
You know, the militia captain Sun Xiangfeng has already left.

Are you just going to forgive him quietly?
If they really did this, how would Sun Dafu and Li Youcai continue to be the rulers of Lingdao in the future?
What will the hunters and militia think?

What will the residents of Shantun think?
So, after hearing what was said, Sun Dafu and Li Youcai looked at each other, with an uncertain look on their faces.

Sun Dafu looked very angrily and said:

"It's already this hour, and you just remembered to admit your mistake. What the hell were you doing when there were so many people around? Don't look for me, I have no solution."

Li Youcai also said:

"The child is dead, and you're already breastfeeding, so figure out what to do."
