Return to the era, take over and become a winner in life

Chapter 22: Carrying a Pig into the Village Shocks Everyone
The mountain road is difficult to walk on, and it is even more difficult to go down the mountain.

Fortunately, people often come here to chop firewood, so it is not that difficult to walk.

But after walking for more than twenty minutes, you have to stop and rest for a while.

After stopping, Qin Jiao walked up to Xu Ye with a towel.

"Xiao Ye, you two should take a break. This pig weighs more than 300 pounds, don't walk so fast." Qin Jiao said with some concern.

"Mom, it's okay. Sanbao and I have plenty of strength. Look, I'm not even sweating." As he said that, Xu Ye wiped his forehead.

Qin Jiao took a careful look and found that there was indeed not much sweat on Xu Ye's body.

"Auntie, even though my brother Ye is not as big as me, he is just as strong as me."

"This wild boar was stabbed by Brother Ye at night, and its neck is twisted. I don't think I can do it." Zhang Sanbao helped to brag.

His forehead was covered in sweat, and he was wondering why Xu Ye was not affected at all.

What did you eat last night? Is this how you replenish your body?
However, he was a famous strongman in the village and did not want to lose face here. He was too embarrassed to wipe the sweat off his face, let alone say that his shoulder was hurt by the wild boar weighing more than 300 pounds.

"These knives and guns, I'm scared when I hear about them. You have to be careful when you go into the mountains in the future, and don't be too reckless." Qin Jiao didn't dare to think about these things, she just hoped that Xu Ye could be safe.

She is different from Jiang Youshou. The more the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more satisfied she is.

Ever since Xu Ye started dating her daughter, she has been particularly satisfied with this "scholar" Xu Ye.

Now that this scholar has been forced to wield a sword and a stick to make a living, she is really worried.

This morning, I secretly worshipped the mountain god, hoping that the mountain god would protect Xu Ye and Jiang Ruyue.

"Auntie, don't worry. My brother Ye is very calm and steady. He is much more methodical in hunting than us, the country bumpkins."

"If it weren't for Brother Ye, how could we have gained so much tonight." Zhang Sanbao said happily.

With this big harvest tonight, he will be able to get married soon.

Although not as pretty as the Jiang sisters, they are still beauties coveted by countless people in the surrounding area.

When talking about the evening’s gains, everyone’s face was filled with happy smiles.

If all these wild boars were sold for money, neither the Jiang family nor the Zhang family would be able to make that much money in a year.

"No matter how capable you are, you still have to be careful. It's better to be cautious." As he said that, Jiang Youshou handed Xu Ye a big front door.

"Dad is right. We will pay attention to safety. Safety is more important than anything else once we enter the mountains." Xu Ye responded as he took the cigarette.

Jiang Youshou nodded with satisfaction, struck a match and helped Xu Ye light his cigarette.

Zhang Sanbao also got one and started to smoke a cigar.

After smoking a cigarette, the men picked up their loads again and walked down the mountain.

We stopped and rested along the way and finally reached the foot of the mountain before dawn.

Zhang Gui took the homemade spray gun because he felt that he was not good at using the Hanyang-made one and that his own homemade spray gun was better.

Qin Jiao and Wang Chunhua didn't have much rest. They carried the little wild boar and rushed to Zhang's house.

We have to get the wild boar back home and deal with it before anyone gets up.

Xu Ye took Jiang Ruyue and Zhang Sanbao to rest outside the village. They had to wait until dawn when everyone got up before they could enter the village to attract everyone's attention.

Xu Ye cut some internal organs to feed the leopard and train it at the same time.

Seeing this, Zhang Sanbao also started training his hunting dog.

"Brother, will we be full-time hunters from now on?" Zhang Sanbao asked curiously.

He really didn't want to dig in the soil for food. No matter how hard he dug, he wouldn't find any meat.

But it’s different when you go into the mountains. One trip can provide the whole family with meat for a month.

"Well, even if you grow flowers in the fields, you won't get many work points in a year."

"A trip we take into the mountains is equivalent to ten days or half a month for others." Xu Ye said straightforwardly.

As he spoke, Xu Ye looked at Jiang Ruyue. Jiang Ruyue said nothing, but nodded at Xu Ye to show her support.

She is usually a rather dull person, and is an introverted type.

Ever since Xu Ye held her hand last night and promised to shoulder the burden of the Li family, she had decided that Xu Ye was the man.

No matter what he does, she will silently support him.

"That's great. From now on, the three of us brothers and sisters will live with guns." As he said that, Zhang Sanbao rubbed Huahu's head happily.

Eating meat every meal is so comfortable that few people would not like it.

The three of them rested for a while, and the sky gradually became brighter.

The chickens in the village began to crow, injecting a bit of vitality into the silence.

"Let's go. We can go into the village now." Xu Ye put out the cigarette butt, squatted down and put the bamboo stick on his shoulder.

"Leopard, bark twice."

"Woof, woof." The leopard barked twice immediately.

After a while, many households' yards began to poke their heads out.

"Wow, what are you carrying? Look...hiss, a wild boar. A wild boar this big?"

"Wife, come, come and see the big wild boar. It weighs several hundred kilograms."

"My goodness, this load must have bent over, how heavy must it be, three hundred pounds?"

"Three hundred? It must be more than that. It's bent like that, it must weigh at least four hundred pounds, right?"

"Bullshit, how can the Jiang family's son-in-law have that much strength? I think he weighs at most 300 kilograms."

"Damn it, you just killed two muntjacs yesterday, and today you killed such a fat wild boar. Aren't you afraid of retribution?"

"How many good things can be exchanged for such a big wild boar? Yesterday, Lao Wang from my family exchanged 18 eggs for two kilograms of meat."

Everyone started discussing it heatedly, and there seemed to be a sour smell in the air.

Zhang Sanbao pouted with pride, feeling secretly happy.

For the first time, he realized how satisfying it was to keep one's wealth secret.

"Sanbao, you were the one who led them to fight together. Now their skills have improved. They are even stronger than Li Dongming." Zhang Fu looked at his nephew with envy and pride.

"Uncle, my brother Ye led us to hunt this wild boar. He was the one who did all the hard work. I am just lucky enough to get 50 to 60 kilograms of meat." Zhang Sanbao said happily.

"It was Xu Zhiqing who beat him. Is this true?"

"Of course it's true. They shot two muntjacs yesterday."

"With such a big wild boar, everyone should be able to exchange it for some meat today, right?"

"Xu Zhiqing, can you exchange sweet potato stew for meat? I'll give you one pound if you can."

"Xu Zhiqing, we have two gun barrels at home. Can we exchange them?"

Xu Ye was very happy to see everyone so enthusiastic.

These meats are only valuable if someone eats them. If you eat them all by yourself, you will get tired of eating so much meat.

"Don't worry, folks. The three of us will go back and divide the meat, then set up three stalls and trade with everyone for the unused items they have."

"In order to ensure that everyone can eat meat, each person can only exchange one kilogram at most today, so don't worry."

Hearing what Xu Ye said, everyone suddenly became eager and went back to get the unused things at home.

In Sanxi Village, every household craves meat.

One pound of meat can feed the whole family for three days during the Chinese New Year.
